Such a memorable experience. ##### Jeff S. Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Deborah Feb 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication This property was very unique and a great place to stay, especially after visiting the Hobbiton Movie Set earlier in the day. The rooms did smell a little like “Middle Earth” when we arrived, but the fans were running and the owners were obviously trying to deal with the problem which was much appreciated. Opening the windows and leaving them open helped as well. It was spacious and well able to accomodate 5 adults. The water was lovely to shower in and great for drinking. The location was just a few minutes down the road from the Waitomo Glowworm Caves, which was perfect. Would come again. ##### Deborah Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Anne T.

Property is a bit run down. Hobbit room was nothing special on the inside, cute on the outside. ##### Jody G. Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Angie C. Feb 18, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nice place to stay It was exactly as described. I think previous reviews were very harsh and unfair. I was concerned after booking and reading the reviews, but was pleasantly surprised. The location was very close to Waitimo caves. We needed a late check in and Jim was very accommodating and helpful. ##### Angie C. Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tara A. Mar 27, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cute Little Hobbit Hole This place was cute! It's in a little park area with a lot of fun stays. There are two rooms- the main room includes a bed and a kitchen / dining table and the other is a small room with a bunch of bunk beds. It's tight- but it's cute! ##### Tara A. Stayed 1 night in Mar 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Austin P. Nov 13, 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness #### Hobbit Hole We stayed one night here in the Hobbit 2 room. It is in a great location right next to the Waitomo Glowworm caves and the surroundings are beautiful! After visiting Hobbiton that same day, it probably set our expectations pretty high and it’s hard to compare the two. It was fairly clean but we did have a dirty towel and some of the other towels had stains. The inside is also pretty dated and could use some updates, especially the bathroom. We were very comfortable though and slept well. Overall we would give it a 3/5 with the dirty towels, but it’s hard to beat the location :) ##### Austin P. Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Alison C. Dec 4, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Hobbit hole not cozy. Very quirky place. My teen was thrilled about idea of staying in a Hobbit hole...but this was only marginally fun experience. The place was mostly clean, but aging. The queen bed was horrible. Mattresses in need of replacement and overall interior updates. Couch very dusty and bathroom was very DIY. ##### Alison C. Stayed 1 night in Nov 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Jeannette G. Apr 7, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A fun experience We stayed here with our 2 kiddos ages 10 & 12. It was clean and cute and the kids were totally blown away by the experience of staying in a hobbit house! It definitely has a motel vibe, and the kitchenette is small, but there were some decorating touches that really added to the hobbit feel. The owners provided space heaters that were really nice to have, but the bunk room definitely developed a musty smell that we couldn’t get rid of. The property is really pretty to walk around and super close to the glow worm caves, but the area is quite rural so we had a hard time finding places to eat after 8pm. Overall it was fun and unique, and we were ready to go after 2 nights. ##### Jeannette G. Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Lisa U. Jul 20, 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Watch out! Booking “invalid”, whatever that means We were told that our booking for Hobbit Guest House was invalid even though we contacted the host before we arrived. We were placed in a different property with the same number of beds but the smell was terrible — would not have stayed if we’d had another option. There are no exterior lights so you’ll need a flashlight to find your way on foot in the dark. ##### Lisa U. Stayed 1 night in Jun 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Julie S.
