Just minutes from Tirau’s cafes and shops, it’s also a great base for exploring Hobbiton, Lake Karapiro.

The space The 300m2 home sits on a 2500m2 section. The house has amazing views to the east and west- perfect for watching sunrises and sunsets. We have wonderful orchard on the section with multiple fruits - mandarins, oranges, limes, apples, plums and many more. We have a kids playground outside with swings and a slide.
The section is surrounded by farmland. The farm is a dairy farm with cows which will be often seen in the surrounding paddocks. Inside the house we have 6 bedrooms - each room can sleep 2 people.
We have two lounges - one is the tv room where we have a projector screen for watching movies/ tv.
The home is a minutes drive from tirau and also the Tirau golf course. Included in the price is a complimentary gift basket of drinks and snacks. Also included in the kitchen is basic kitchen condiments like coffee, tea, sauces, oil etc. Guest access The whole house is yours during your stay. However we ask you to please stay within the section and the driveway. Please do not go into the paddocks or onto the farm tracks.

A lovely house with gorgeous views. Thank you for the welcome gift box a wonderful little extra. Would definitely recommend for groups and or families.
We had such a great stay at this house! It was super spacious and had a welcoming feel. There were plenty of games and puzzles to keep everyone entertained, which was a nice bonus. The welcome basket was a lovely touch and made us feel right at home. Kate was great with communication - clear instructions and quick to respond if we had any questions. Would definitely recommend and stay again!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. There was some confusion with the directions to the home and lock pad, as I just went off the information that was on the main site including door lock pin (2424tick) & didn’t realise the inbox messages were updated information in the rush of trying to find the info upon arrival. Kate was helpful in getting us there in the end and noted not to use google maps next time! LolThe house was beautifully spaced and the movie room was such a great feature for everyone. The outdoor area was enjoyed by the kiddies morning and night and being gated we could relax too. Would definitely love to come back with all our family to enjoy this home on the hill again.
Lovely place! Exactly as described and very nice. Didn’t have to message the host once! Small warning: the house does not have AC. We went in the fall, so it wasn’t too bad, but I’d imagine that it could get brutal during the summertime. Overall, fantastic experience and a wonderful place with a beautiful view.
We had a wonderful stay at the Home on the hill. Perfect place to relax as a group and take in the views. This lovely home has everything you need and is comfy and cosy. We loved the movie room too!! Would definitely stay here again if we had the chance. Thank you
