Welcome to our home. I hope you fall in love with the place as much as we have. We built this home 26 years ago with the vision of raising our family in a place of beauty, warmth, and resilience. Over the years, it has been the heart of countless cherished memories. Now, as our children have grown and moved across New Zealand, we’ve opened our doors to share this special space with you. David and I now live in the loft above the garage, ensuring your privacy while being available if needed. David is busy converting barn waste in to biology rich compost which is sold to the farmers who are concerned about biodiversity and sustainability, while I run my homeopathy practice in Matamata. We believe this home thrives when filled with people, laughter, and love— for this reason we offer individual room bookings,to make it more accessible for solo travelers, couples, and small groups. Sharing this beautiful home with like minded travelers, creating a unique and friendly atmosphere—one in which you can meet kindred spirits who appreciate hobbit lore and rustic charm.
