An outstanding accommodation business just 10 minutes from The Lord of The Rings movie set tours, in the thriving township of Matamata, has come on the market.
Less than one hour from the coast and only two hours south of Auckland and Coromandel Peninsula, Matamata is a popular destination and a must-visit for Lord of the Rings and Hobbit fans.
Therese Bailey of Link Business Brokers has been engaged by the vendors of The House of Hazel to market the freehold property and business consisting of four accommodation options.
“The guest accommodations are designed to sit very privately from each other on an over-sized residential section - 895sq m that’s subdividable,” says Bailey.

“Being in a private residential neighbourhood and having undergone a complete renovation, the entire property embodies a feeling of safety, warmth and love.
“Whether visitors want to rent a spacious house or a smaller chalet, all four accommodations are completely self-contained with kitchen facilities and private bathrooms, so there are options to suit everyone.
“And of course, larger groups can book the entire property.”
The Homestead is the largest accommodation, a 130sq m three-bedroom home at the front of the property, drenched with all-day natural light. There is also a two-bedroom Boudoir and two chalets.
While The Homestead is included in the accommodation pool, which is ideal for an off-site owner-operator looking to take on the business, there is the opportunity for the new owner to make this their home and office.
“The accommodation runs independently from the current owner’s busy lifestyle, so the new owners don’t necessarily need to live onsite or work fulltime in the business,” says Bailey.
“But if the new owners choose to make The Homestead their home, it is newly renovated with superior quality finishings and is spacious enough for the whole family to find their own place to relax.
“On cold evenings you can cook a warm meal in the roomy kitchen, warm yourself up in front of the crackling fire, or enjoy the extra-large shower with incredible hot-water pressure.
“And then there’s the two-bedroom Boudoir, with opulent European decor, luxurious fur throws and decadent scents. The master suite has a king-size massage bed.”
Due to its history, the property has been developed as much more than an accommodation business.
“The House of Hazel is very special to me because it’s the original property brought by my Nana and Grandad in the 1950s,” says the Vendor.
“My Nana, Hazel, was a forward-thinking and wise woman, so during the birth of the project I decided to pay homage to her.
“She was warm, welcoming and her baking tins were always full to the brim for the family. Nana loved birds and cultivated a gathering place for local birds by feeding them a loaf a day. We have kept her bird houses so guests can still enjoy the sounds of the birds nesting in the evening or singing away to each other during the day.”
The current owners have gone the extra mile to anticipate guests’ needs and ensure The House of Hazel exceeds their expectations.
“Visitors don’t just find standard facilities such as a hairdryer, iron and laundry - they also get Sky TV and Apple TV with unlimited wireless broadband, cookies for their tea and chocolate on their pillow,” says Bailey.
“They use only green, organic and eco-friendly cleaning materials and supplies to ensure they are doing their bit for the environment and the health of their guests.”
The House of Hazel is priced at $1,294,000 for the freehold and business.
