Guest Reviews

• Deborah (10/5): Short but very comfortable stay at Matamata. Highly recommend. - Lovely rooms, great facilities, good breakfast and fabulous location for our needs.
• Cassidy (10/5): -
• Debbie (7/5): -
• Jane (9/5): - Excellent location. Staff happy to accommodate our late arrival time.
• Janine (10/5): -
• Sharon (10/5): Very good night for overnight stay - Proximity to downtown and cleanliness Nothing
• Joanne (10/5): Wonderful motel, highly recommend - Cleanest motel we have stayed in for ages. Would happily stay again
• Brian (9/5): - Spotless room and quiet considering the train line wasn't far away.
• Tony (6/5): Not bad. - Comfy bed. Clean. Outdoor bbq area So noisy. Street noise during the night disturbed sleep.
• Michel (6/5): - It was well placed for visiting Hobbiton.
• Jane (10/5): Perfectly excellent. - This would have to be the cleanest motel I’ve ever stayed in.
• Liezel (8/5): -
• Torsten (8/5): - The room was really nice, with a comfy bed and spacious, well-appointed bathroom. The owners were probably the most helpful, welcoming, and friendly people we met on our trip. They really elevated our stay and I'd absolutely stay here again. A bit of road noise, but honestly less than expected.
• David (5/5): - The property is good , nice and clean I booked 2 family rooms for my big family (5 adults 3kids 1 infant ), and in the description there are 2 single beds, one queen bed and one sofa bed in the room. When we check in, we already filled up the forms to show them how many adults and how many kids for each rooms, and they said will not charge the room fee for the infant. But at the end, they charged us 45 dollars as we used the sofa bed. According to their reply, they said our Booking only booked three adults and one child per room, and the sofa bed couldn't be used. Now that we've used it, there's an extra charge. The problem is, we already paid the maximum price for four people per room when we booked. We were also asked to fill out a form at check-in indicating the number of people in each room. No one told us at the time that using the sofa bed would incur an extra charge. After explaining the situation, they insisted on charging us. As we needed to continue our itinerary, we didn't argue further. I probably won't go to this motel again; I've blacklisted it.
• Kirsty (8/5): -
• Lisa (8/5): -
• James (8/5): Convenient base for Hobbiton👍 - Convenient, good value and clean
• Rebekkah (6/5): There and back again - Clean and tidy, convenient location with New World across the road. Spa bath was lovely and great water pressure in the shower! Lovely service from all of the staff. TV was lagging and reception was bad. Unwatchable. Wifi constantly dropped in and out and the smokers area was mostly occupied by other guests having a BBQ/alfresco dinner. Would be nice to have those separate.
• Tiara (10/5): Spacious comfy room close to main town - Room was really spacious and had all facilities that we needed. Bed was comfy and although all units were connected we still felt as though we had a lot of privacy. Staff were lovely. Shower screen had a leak and water was pooling behind shower screen around toilet. I had informed them and seemed like they already knew about this.
• Jordan (7/5): -
• Wendy (10/5): -
• Val (10/5): - Great location fantastic host There was nothing I didn't like
• Angela (9/5): - Nice sized room. Comfortable. Well equipped. Bring ear plugs. The lorries on the road and the trains are very noisy.
• Jacqueline (9/5): A short walk from the town centre made it an ideal base for Matamata. - The room was clean and well equipped. Check in was quick and efficient.
• Rogers (9/5): -
• Kaareen (9/5): -
• Gabrielle (9/5): - We loved the family unit. Clean, well appointed, spacious
• Deborah (9/5): We were well catered for. The motel is in a great location - It was lovely and clean - very helpful storing our bikes Took a while for the motel manager to warm to us - a bit off hand to start with but was really helpful later
• Grzegorz (6/5): Gdyby nie to że jako jedyni w NZ chcieli od nas dane szczegółowe karty kredytowej oceniłbym lepiej - Przyjemny czysty motel To był jedyny motel gdzie w ciągu 4 tygodniowej podróży po NZ zażądano od nas podania danych karty kredytowej w celu zabezpieczania pobytu mimo że pokój był opłacony. Nie chcieli zrobić blokady na karcie, chcieli dane karty wprowadzić do sytemu, na co się nie zgodziliśmy ze względu na duże ryzyko scamu. W efekcie odmówiono pokoju. w końcu uzgodniliśmy depozyt w postaci gotówki i otrzymaliśmy pokój. Następnego dnia pan mie przekonywał że takie wymagania odnośnie karty sa w każdym motelu. w NZ. Nigdy cześniej ani później nikt od nas tego nie wymagał, jedynie raz zrobiono nam blokadę na karcie (co jest OK)
• Ali (8/5): -
• Otakar (10/5): Můžeme všem s klidným srdcem doporučit, už jsme tu byli podruhé. - Velice pohodlné, prostorné ubytování s jídelním stolem a dvěma televizemi. Vířivou vanu jsme nevyužili, sprchový kout a WC v jedné místnosti ale čisté a funkční. V kuchyni byla kromě běžného vybavení i myčka.
• Loren (9/5): -
• RICHARD (9/5): Excellent location, wonderful motel. - Best equipped motel room I’ve been to. Comfortable, clean with very obliging staff. Totally recommend. That we didn’t stay longer’n
• Barbara (8/5): - Everything you need is provided. Super clean. Comfortable. Good location. Friendly staff. A LOT of road noise all night. The unit shakes when lorries/trucks pass .
• Lothar Theodor (8/5): -
• Lydia (10/5): -
• Harm (9/5): -
• Emmanuelle (10/5): -
• Henry (10/5): Great place to stay before/ after Hobbiton visit - We stayed in one of the two apartments with upstairs and downstairs. Modern and clean! Convenient location! Nothing
• Peter (4/5): Not recommended at all - Nothing really Very basic 1960’s motel type. Very low or no tech. Old facilities.
• Megan (10/5): - The owners were super friendly, they even gave us a ride back to the town centre as we were checking out, which saved us a 15 minute walk!

• Markus (9/5): -
• G (10/5): -

• Rex (9/5): Very good place to stay when in Matamata (Hobbitton). - Very easy access and parking with our van in front of the rooms. The hosts were very friendly. The nearby centre has nice restaurants; breakfast was wonderful there. Everything in the rooms was clean and complete. We really enjoyed our stay and would book there again without any doubt! Nothing.
• Victoira SC (10/5): Will definitely come back if visit Matamata , highly recommend! - Spacious and clean; lovely manager and Katrina !
• JP (7/5): Mooi motel, maar pas op je creditcard! - Mooie, ruime kamer en goede bedden, Supermarkt er tegenover Pas op! Dit motel noteert al je creditcard gegevens, inclusief de persoonlijke cvc-code aan de achterzijde en zet die gegevens in hun computersysteem. Dit is ongepast en wettelijk niet toegestaan! Daarnaast is de toon in de communicatie zeer business-gericht en niet begripvol. Kom je na sluitingstijd (20.00u) zonder geldige reden in hun ogen te laat opdagen, vervalt de Boeking en ben je je geld kwijt, zo staat er te lezen. Dergelijke zaken hebben wij werkelijk nog nooit meegemaakt en vinden we uiterst ongepast.
• Reynolds (10/5): Excellent experience - Matamata Central served our needs very well! Thank you!
• Suzanne (8/5): We’ve stayed here before and will do so again. - We’ve stayed at the motel before and choose it each time we’re in the area. It’s tidy, functional and clean. We came home with some insect bites. We’re not sure how or why.
• Stuart (8/5): We had everything we needed for a one night transit stay - Everything you need was available. NA

• Sue (6/5): The bed was very comfortable - It was very strange not having any electric plugs in the bathroom and having to use an extension cord for the hair drier!! The microwave was so low down we couldnt read the instructions and the dishes were all at ground level!! I know we were in a room for disabled people but they don't live on the ground!!!
• Jan Patrick (10/5): -

Mints and fresh bottled milk on arrival a nice, welcoming touch . On site parking. Very peaceful place Maybe just a small oven in room would have been helpful for our family but not a big deal
