We spent one night in the cottage at Chestnut Lane and were greeted with home made cake and biscuits. The cottage is very spacious, modern, comfortable and spotlessly clean and a few minutes drive from the town where we enjoyed a good meal. Kathleen and John are wonderful hosts and made us very welcome. Thankyou Kathleen for your lovely breakfast... More

We stayed one night here during our 3 weeks long trip in New Zealand, and I can say that this BnB was the most spacious and comfortable one we had. The hosts were immeasurably hospitable, and the breakfast was deliciously cooked. The WiFi is good quality, all the amenities are brand new. Everything was perfect !

We had a 2-week long vacation in newzealand, and visiting Hobbiton was part of the plan, so the location of the cottage was perfect - 10 min drive from Hobbiton. We arrived at Chestnut lane cottage a little earlier than expected, but were still very warmly welcomed by our hosts Kathleen and John. The cottage was immaculate and very comfortable,... More

We stayed overnight at Chestnut Lane (not the cottage, but the two rooms in the house) before visiting Hobbiton the next day. Kathleen and John were very welcoming, took care of everything - including setting out homemade biscuits for us the night we arrived! Everything was provided - including heated blankets, toileteries, towels and a sumptuous breakfast the next day.... More

Spacious, tasteful house and decoration in very quiet location and very clean. We had the room in the house (14m2) and the sole use of the spacious bath and shower room (7m2) with separate... More

We stayed at Chestnut Lane Cottage last night. It was perfection! Everything was spotlessly clean and modern. Kathleen and John were the perfect hosts. The bed is very comfortable and as we slept the only sound we could hear was the cows mooing in the distance. We woke to a loverly view of the mountains. Kathleen prepared a wonderful breakfast...

Arrived in Matamata after a very early flight into Auckland. We could not have wished for a better introduction to New Zealand. Kathleen and John were marvellous hosts and the cottage is quite splendid. The decor and furnishings in the lounge, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom are of a high quality and the cottage has its own patio with a beautiful... More

Delightful stay for my husband and I in the guest cottage. I could live here. Wish we could have stayed longer, but we were lucky to get one night. Book in advance. I loved the decor, furnishings, appliances, and fixtures. I've stayed in a variety of accommodations around the world and this was by far the best stay I could... More

My husband and I stayed at Kathleen and Jim's cottage in February and loved our stay. The surrounding scenery was peaceful and enjoyable, Kathleen's fresh baked scones were delicious, the warm breakfast was fantastic, and everything was just perfect. We had a great time and wished we could have stayed in the cottage for our entire trip. If you can... More
