Romantic night in a 'Hole in the Ground'

Disclaimer: To avoid confusion, we are not affiliated with Warner Bros and the nearby Hobbiton.
You won’t forget the peaceful surroundings of this rustic destination.
Spend a night in a real Hole in the Ground in the middle of the Waikato. Close to the movie set (25 minute drive) Situated between my grapes and the Feijoa orchard. It comes with a nice breakfast with homemade bread and bacon and eggs (own chickens) and homemade jams. There's and outdoor area made totally of pallet wood where you have the opportunity to cook, have a BBQ and have a dining area.
Only suited for one or 2 persons (pets only at prior approval, service animals are ok).
We (since 1984) are Rivendel Gardens, growing tomatoes, capsicum, beans, courgettes etc. for the local farmers' markets.
Named 'Rivendel Gardens' because of my love for the books. One day I just wanted a 'Hole in the Ground', so I made one.
That was about 11 years ago, later on I extended the space with a bedroom and bathroom to be able to rent it out as a B&B.
I mainly used recovered wood or wood I milled myself.
You are allowed all over the place but not close to the house, My Daughter and family live there and like their privacy.
If you need help, just come to the red shed and I'm happy to help with whatever you need.
In a very rural environment, very quiet. 7 Km out of Cambridge.
We are on a non-exit road, plenty of parking, very rural.
During your stay at this chalet, you'll be close to Cambridge Raceway. Features include free breakfast.
  • Free breakfast offered
  • 10 minutes by car from Cambridge Raceway and 10 minutes from Te Koutu Lake
Free breakfast is served.

This Pukemoremore chalet is smoke free.

Guests are served free breakfast.

So charming
Im obsessed with LOTRs and this was absolutely perfect for a hobbit hole. So charming and cute. I wish i could have stayed longer and could build one for myself.

Truly Authentic Hobbit Hole Stay
What can I say - what a cool idea! The owner (and his daughter) obviously care very much about the experience. The communication was great - instructions were clear on how to gain access. They checked in frequently to see if everything was okay, and they have just the cutest animals (included an adorable black and white cat) that really add to the farmstay experience. There are some issues that are very out of their hands - it rained quite badly one of the nights and we had to deal with a bit of a slug infestation (that was easily taken care of) and then the bugs that just come hand in hand with our a farm experience. The home made bread and jams were amazing. The bacon and eggs provided were delicious. The obvious care and attention to detail really made for an awesome experience. If you’re looking for a big chain hotel experience - skip this one. But if you’re looking for a cozy, cottage-like hobbit-hole - this is a must do, especially for any lord of the rings fan!

Amazing experience
Cute little windows with awesome views. Really feels like a hobbit hole dug into the ground. Super warm with the fire on. Delicious breakfast with what I think is homemade jam provided. Would highly recommend

It was an interesting and unique experience. Directions to property were a problem. The address, phone number and a map should be on the web site. We got directions from the i-site in Cambridge otherwise we would have been lost' It also should be clearer that one should bring some barbecue food & wine for dinner as no eating places nearby.
