Beautiful stay in a gorgeous setting!
I was well cared for at the House with No Nails! The property is beautiful & clean, & in a gorgeous rural setting set amidst mountains, big blue skies, & farm animals. The house is an easy 25 minute drive from the Hobbiton set in Matamata, which was my plan while in this area of NZ. Highly recommended!

Amazing place with a piece of quiet. Unique design and building with different themes in each room. The owners showed the best of hospitality to all guests.
