We arrived a little after hour and was accommodated and given a small tour of the apartment. The property was clean and large with views overlooking the pasture and farmland. It was always nice and quiet. Appreciate the breakfast items prepared although we did not get to fully utilize it. ##### Wei Chun Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cynthia Feb 8, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication If you are going to Hobbiton this wonderful farm is perched on the crest of an undulating valley with perfect views of sunset. The bed is comfortable, the apartment is spacious and the family who own it are warm and welcoming. Travel a beautiful winding back country road for 20 mins to get to Hobbiton. Loved it ##### Cynthia Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Akaroa on the Beach Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/Akaroa-Hotels-Akaroa-On-The-Beach-Apartments.h9626017.Hotel-Information) > > [Discovery Countrytime Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Omarama-Hotels-Discovery-Countrytime-Hotel.h1145773.Hotel-Information) > > [Somersal Bed & Breakfast](https://www.expedia.ca/Hamilton-Hotels-Somersal-Bed-Breakfast.h4528347.Hotel-Information) > > [Horse and Jockey Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Hamilton-Hotels-Horse-And-Jockey-Inn.h29357900.Hotel-Information) > > [Prodigal Daughter Gourmet Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Martinborough-Hotels-Prodigal-Daughter-Gourmet-Lodge.h39405385.Hotel-Information) > > [Waitomo Village Chalets Home of Kiwipaka](https://www.expedia.ca/Waitomo-Caves-Hotels-Kiwi-Paka-Waitomo.h19526472.Hotel-Information) > > [Monty's self-contained unit](https://www.expedia.ca/Hamilton-Hotels-Montys-Self-Contained-Unit.h37984382.Hotel-Information) > > [Lakeview Cottage](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-Tekapo-Hotels-Lakeview-Cottage.h37916190.Hotel-Information) > > [Stopforths Premium Accommodation](https://www.expedia.ca/Hokitika-Hotels-Stopforths-Premium-Accommodation.h23236034.Hotel-Information) > > [Turangi Leisure Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Turangi-Hotels-Turangi-Leisure-Lodge.h61338998.Hotel-Information) > > [Arcadia Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Russell-Hotels-Arcadia-Lodge.h9626026.Hotel-Information) > > [Duvauchelle Seaside Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Duvauchelle-Hotels-Duvauchelle-Seaside-Motel.h20930343.Hotel-Information) > > [Parklands Motorlodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Turangi-Hotels-Parklands-Motorlodge.h918774.Hotel-Information) > > [JetPark Hotel Hamilton Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Hamilton-Hotels-Jet-Park-Hotel-Hamilton-Airport.h4281130.Hotel-Information) > > [Riverside Homestead Waitangi](https://www.expedia.ca/Haruru-Hotels-Riverside-Homestead-Waitangi.h78742745.Hotel-Information) > > [Ormlie Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Waiohiki-Hotels-Ormlie-Lodge.h9626443.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Queenstown Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Queenstown-Hotels-Hilton-Queenstown-Resort-Spa.h4268206.Hotel-Information) > > [Nomads Rest](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-Tekapo-Hotels-Nomads-Rest.h27954748.Hotel-Information) > > [Te Anau Central Backpackers](https://www.expedia.ca/Te-Anau-Hotels-Te-Anau-Central-Backpackers.h84134490.Hotel-Information) > > [Ribbonwood Country House](https://www.expedia.ca/Cheviot-Hotels-Ribbonwood-Country-House.h15876059.Hotel-Information) > > [Waitomo Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Te-Kuiti-Hotels-Waitomo-Lodge.h72941486.Hotel-Information) > > [Awaroa Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Awaroa-Bay-Hotels-Awaroa-Lodge.h5417771.Hotel-Information) > > [The Waterlily Gardens](https://www.expedia.ca/Waihi-Hotels-The-Waterlily-Gardens.h21518126.Hotel-Information) > > [Sennen House](https://www.expedia.ca/Picton-Hotels-Sennen-House.h7120592.Hotel-Information) > > [The Fern & Thistle Luxury Accommodation](https://www.expedia.ca/Benhar-Hotels-The-Fern-Thistle-Accommodation.h55531272.Hotel-Information) > > [The Reservation B&B](https://www.expedia.ca/Gore-Hotels-The-Reservation.h9679423.Hotel-Information) > > [Ohakune TOP 10 Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Ohakune-Hotels-Ohakune-TOP-10-Holiday-Park.h33230446.Hotel-Information) > > [The Matarangi B & B](https://www.expedia.ca/Matarangi-Hotels-The-Matarangi-B-B.h97053938.Hotel-Information) > > [Mohaka River Farm - Campsite](https://www.expedia.ca/Te-Haroto-Hotels-Mohaka-River-Farm.h44895522.Hotel-Information)
