   My family and I stayed at the House with no Nails for our wedding preparations at Hobbiton. When we arrived we were warmly welcomed by Jen and Dewi who greeted us and told us about the history of their home. If you're a Harry Potter fan like me, their home is as warm and welcoming as the Weasleys and the interior decor is also very similar! Super nervous before the big day, Jen and Dewi cooked us a wonderful meal and shared wine. The beds were super comfy and the bathroom has heated flooring to keep us all cozy! When we return to New Zealand we will definitely stop by again for a visit :) Thank you so much for having us and thank you for the lovely gifts! Natalie and Nathan xx

   Everything about this home is welcoming and cozy, from the moment Jen greets you at the door. We were the only guests so we had pick of which rooms we'd like and my bed was the comfiest bed I've slept in in ages. They go above and beyond to make you feel not just comfortable, but like a part of the family. If we ever get out this way again, this is where we'll be staying.

   We consider ourselves so fortunate to have found here for one of our stops on our journey around the north island. An incredible house, and to have the couple that built the house as our hosts - was amazing. Loved sharing stories and many cups of coffee. A fantastic experience and would absolutely recommend!!

   This is the jewel in the crown for a place to stay. I cannot say enough about this place. Jen and Dewi were both such wonderful hosts, going out of their way to make us feel comfortable and at home. The House was amazing with a hand made story to boot. Clean, spacious, Fantastic beds and rooms. Breakfast was stunning, home baked bread with cereal options. Very spoiled for choice. I not only recommend this property, but will be staying here again next time we come through.

   Fantastic place, great view of the kaimais, and fantastic rustic feel and plenty of beds. Was perfect for my sister's 21st, and a great getaway close to Hamilton. While the weatherboards have nails, the Interior stands as advertised without any metal nails and is a structural feat!

   You should definitely go there! We had a wonderful night at House with nails. Not only thanks to the beautiful home that was build with so much love and care but also thanks to the amazing hosts. We felt at home in this beautiful house. They cooked a home made meal for us that was delicious. It was also my birthday that day and they made everything so special for me and my boyfriend. We hope to come back soon as it was a real coup de coeur. ❤️ Thank you.

   Wow. Such a warm and welcoming stay from Jen and Dewi. It really felt like a home from home and was really comfortable for our family of two adults and two children (6 months and 2.5 years) - the bed was amazingly comfortable and the shower has to be seen to be believed! Dewi kindly took our (tractor obsessed) son to see his tractor and then (hero alert) drove from their house to Hobbiton to reunite him with his fire truck that we had left behind!! Jen made us a delightful apple crumble to accompany the family meal we made the night before. Lots of great conversations in a very special house. Highly recommend if you’re in the area. Thanks for a wonderful stay!!
