This plane was fabulous! The property is so beautiful you could have a wedding there. Sue is a fantastic chef and we had an amazing breakfast. Our room was lovely and had a door to a wraparound porch overlooking the
gardens and filled with the songs of the local birds. I highly recommend a stay here!

Centrally located town of the North Island worth an overnight stop for lots of sightseeing spots nearby and good eateries. We recommend Hobbiton to anyone, even if you are not a fan of the movie series. It is a very enjoyable way to spend a couple of hours. Also do not miss the unique Blue Spring in Putaruru.
The township of Matamata has many drinking and eating options for all budgets and some really nice places are reasonably priced.

We visited specifically to visit Hobbiton, this was a perfect stay for this purpose. We had a great meal at The Redoubt, although if eating on a Wednesday evening it helps if you enjoy Country and Western music. Pretty much everything was in walking distance. The area is really well looked after

Great place to unwind and just chill. Handy to Rotorua and Tauranga too. If you want somewhere away from the hustle and bustle of the bigger cities but with all the essentials, Matamara is the place to be.

We loved our stay at A Place In the Paddock.
We loved our stay at A Place In the Paddock. It was just what it says. A beautifully appointed 3 bedroom house with room for family and friends right in the middle of a working dairy farm. We all enjoyed our stay. We visited the nearby Okoroire Hot Springs in Tirau close by. The are beautiful natural thermal pools in the bush. A must do.
The Walnut Lodge B&B was amazing! The hosts were extremely nice and helpful! They baked fresh bread for us everyday for breakfast, and even offered archery lessons! The rooms were spacious, clean, and the beds were very comfortable. It’s location is great for visiting Hobbiton, going out to eat in Matamata, and venturing to Auckland or Rotorua. We booked both rooms offered at this location, which provided us with a private experience with our group of people! It was perfect for our stay.
It was perfect for what we needed. It was very straightforward. We flew into Auckland that morning and drove to Hobbiton. After our tour we drove to Matamata, grabbed food at DK's Burger place on the main Street and then found Denchy's. It was easy to get into and when we went in we were very pleased. It was nicely decorated, had a comfortable bed, a counter, small fridge, sink, cutlery, dishes, etc. The bathroom is very adequate. Everything was spotless.
The studio was amazing, beautiful bed and linens. A stunning feature wallpaper behind the bed.
lovely touches of the homemade biscuits so yummy with a hot drink.
Great nights sleep in the bed best in ages !
in the morning the perfect breakfast was delivered by Glen. He was very helpful on where to go , Hobbiton, Matamata and sights around the area , hot pools etc.
it was a pleasure to stay at The Matamata Lodge on my travels . Will be back again !
One of the best motels we stayed in our trip to NZ north island - very clean and modern -Everything was perfect and Spotless clean -
Location perfect all restaurants and shops nearby .. quiet and peaceful area ..
Parking at the motel was also very convenient and easy --
Hobbiton just 20 mins away
Me and my family loved our stay in Matamata and in Broadway motel - I loved the small down of Matata - should've stayed more nights !
The owners were absolutely lovely, made you feel right at home :) they had everything we needed and were super patient with our little 7yr boy....who could be a little 'tricky' at times.
The rooms were very comfortable and each had a beautiful view.
I'd definately recommend Fairway Views to anyone travelling to Matamata or near by...just beautiful :)
The room itself is really clean and finished to a high standard. The staff leave you alone which is important as this is an area at the back of their garden.
The owners left a really comprehensive guide to Matamata, which we used a lot and was very accurate for the places we tried!
Lovely and spacious stay with comfy beds, a nice shower, and room to stretch out. Great central location in Matamata. Arrival instructions were very clear and self check in was easy. Wonderful value, makes me wish we'd had time to stay there longer!
So cute and comfortable!!! Delicious home made bread and fresh eggs for breakfast. It was so relaxing being out on a farm next to goats. And we had a delicious Italian dinner in Matamata. Super close to Hobbiton!! Thanks for a great night!
We LOVED everything about Matamata Lodge! Mark and Glenn’s attention to detail in every part of our stay was phenomenal. The lodging was perfectly appointed, the food was excellent and delicious, the environment was spectacular!
It was so relaxing, quite little place just outside of Matamata. Me and my parter went for his 21st and we absolutely loved it. Would differently go back in the future
