I recommend Kauri Lodge as a great stay in the area. ##### Karen Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ellen 26 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Shona welcomed us warmly and provided amenities for a nice breakfast. Her place is clean, spacious, and set in a lovely area surrounded by rolling green hills. We were sad that we had to leave early for the next stop in our journey and would love to visit again. ##### Ellen Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Casey 3 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### A Scenic Stay in the Shire Had a pleasant stay that felt like it was nestled in the Hobbit shire countryside. Was conveniently located just 15 minutes drive from Hobbiton. Host was pleasant and friendly and met us upon arrival. And the stars at night were amazing! The first time I’ve seen the Milky Way in a long while. ##### Casey Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sharon 7 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, room comfort, communication Shona and David are lovely thoughtful hosts.
