Location is great. The room was clean and comfortable. Property is a bit run down. Hobbit room was nothing special on the inside, cute on the outside.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
