We had a lovely relaxing time in this property. It really felt like home and had everything you could need. The kitchen was very well stocked and the double basins in the bathroom were great. Lots of games and entertainment options were also available including kayaks and a pool table. But the best thing of all was the absolutely stunning views from the deck.
Motupipi is a hidden gem where you can completely relax without disturbance from other holiday makers. The accommodation is a step back in time …real Kiwiana. Very comfortable and well equipped for all your needs. Friendly hosts who welcomed us very warmly.Thank you Starr family , you have a gem waiting to be discovered by like minded people.
Awesome location- nice place to destress with the family. We were a group of 7; the weather limited outdoor access- if fine it would be superb. It would be amazing for a smaller group or two couples. A definite place to revisit.
Stayed in this cottage and it did not disappoint! The scenic drive to the cottage was wonderful, rolling hills and very peaceful. Sarah, the owner was in contact and made getting there and into the property super easy. The The drive into the gated property with its tree canopy was beautiful. The cottage was gorgeous, with little momentos of Hobbiton which is the reason we stayed in Matamata, for the Hobbiton Tour and Beer Fest. The breakfast supplied was fantastic, we picked up some smoky bacon to enjoy with fresh eggs and toast. The bed was sublimely comfortable and the backyard was bathed in sun in the Morning. Would absolutely stay here again but this time for a few days longer to really enjoy the cottage and its facilities, and the peacefulness of its location.
The studio is wonderfully built and has everything needed to enjoy a good stay. It's located on a large property and has plenty of outdoor space for taking in the peaceful surrounding scenery. It's also walking distance from a bushwalk that goes to the top of Wentworth Falls. Feels remote but is only 10 minutes from the town centre. On top of all this, the hosts are very welcoming and provide great hospitality. Really wish I could've stayed longer! Hopefully will get the chance to come back some day.
Such an amazing cabin in a beautiful location. Excellent communication from the hosts. Perfect for a weekend getaway, highly recommend. Only suggestion would be to maybe have a bit of milk and coffee available if possible (and wine glasses!). Will definitely be back with my partner next time. Thanks again
