The room was really nice and super clean, The Manager was really nice.

Dylan New Zealand

First I would like to talk about the location, it’s just a minute walk to the supermarket you can get everything things you want. The Neighbourhood is quiet but it doesn’t mean you stay in the remote area. The town center just a minutes drive from motel, it has many good restaurants there. The couples at the front desk are very friendly and helpful. You can’t complain on their room cleaning. They even help me to fold my sweater!!! I travel 4-5 times in NZ every year. This one worth every penny!!!

From the beds, shower, kitchen facilities, cleanliness, location, value for money, and especially the hosts, Matamata Central Motel is a 10 out of 10 every time we stay. Thank you and see you next time
