    Really nice cozy spot. It's really nicely located and gave me the chance to see everyting I wanted to see. It's at a 15 minutes drive from Hobbiton and 1 hour / 1 hour and a half from other destinations like : Huka falls, mount Maunganui, Rotorua.

    Warm, comfortable bed. Easy access. Had most things we needed. A portable stove top element would have been great for heating or cooking in a pot. However, council consent would probably be needed and we had a one off purpose that weekend for...

    Location is absolutely amazing! We stayed here for a girls' trip for easy access to Hobbiton and Rotorua. The place was super cozy, and the heat pump made a world of difference on the cold mornings and nights. Everything was easily laid out and...

    Loved the size of the place, location, available space and general facilities. Hosts were super friendly and accommodated us putting a mattress on the floor of the main bedroom so our boys didn't have to share a bed. It was warm in middle of...

Kate is a teacher at one of our local schools and Ben is a businessman. They look forward to welcoming you to Mill Corner Studio.
Our most famous local attraction is the Hobbiton Movie Set where of course all the Hobbiton Village scenes were shot in the Lord Of The Ring trilogy. We also have the highest waterfall in the North Island. There is a one hour walk to the top of the waterfall through native bush on a formed track and stair case, from where there are AMAZING views of the surrounding landscape. We also have a museum (Firth Tower Historical Village) displaying a huge array of Matamata history and how life was during the Maori wars. The museum has a tower that was once used for defence and protection of his family by the original settler of Matamata, Josiah Firth. We have 2 excellent golf courses, a very soothing hot pools complex and a large selection of cafes and restaurants and bars for you to choose from. Enjoy our town. It is pretty nice. We of course love it!
