• julierE8616OP (10/5): Great value and very comfortable 2 room unit in a quiet location in easy reach of Hobbiton. - We stayed at Tower Road in March for 2 nights during our North Island road trip and went from here to Hobbiton which is just a very short drive from Matamata. The 2 room unit was a true home away from home, with comfortable beds and all the kitchen facilities we needed to cater for ourselves. Great value for money for a group of 4, and really friendly host who made sure we had everything we needed for a great stay.

• Sandra (7/5): Comfortable accommodation but not nearly as quiet as previous owners operated it Some units appeared to have a few maint - The location and comfort Andy generally pleasant and personable. The list of don’t do this and that or else you’re liable for charges. All about the money! Sliding door pulled closed and locked a good portion of the time.

• Lars (8/5): Great and good location - Great personal approach All good
• Diaz Fantinelli (10/5): Perfecto - Super limpio y ordenado, cumple expectativas y está aun mejor de lo que se ve en fotos. Es silencioso y alejado del centro pero cerca a la vez. Me gustó todo. Lo único malo que pasa en todos lados es que se escucha a la habitación de al lado. Nos despertó una señora hablando por teléfono en altavoz muy temprano fuera de la habitación, en la mesita de afuera. Pero eso no es culpa del alojamiento 👍🏼
• Sharryn (9/5): Will Stay Again. & Thank-you - Stayed while visiting family. Close location to family was a bonus. Fabulously clean. I chose based on reviews about great nights sleep in very comfortable beds. This is True so big ✅️!! Will Stay again.
• Nora (7/5): -
• Erin (10/5): Spotlessly clean - Amazing check in from Isla and the room was sooooo clean. Incredible and everything we needed for our stay. Thank you
• Louard (10/5): - Clean motel, close to centre town. Friendly welcoming management.
• Safari44502923901 (10/5): Thank you!!! - Out of all our accomodation on our 3 week trip of the north island, this was the most pleasant experience. I was greeted to the smell of a roast dinner being cooked when I entered the reception which made it feel super homey. The gentleman was so helpful, giving a great recommendation for dinner, and just generally bring friendly chatty and hospitable. Highly recommend staying here. If/when we return to matamata ill definitely be staying here again. It was a beautiful town, and having lovely accomodation made it even nicer. The room was spacious, equipped with everything we needed. Location slightly out of town but honestly like a 2 minute drive if that, and also countryside NZ is something too beautiful to complain about staying in.
• hirst69 (8/5): Friendly, welcome, quiet motel yet close to town. - Clean motel rooms and beds were super comfortable. Motel being progressively updated - very quiet on edge of Matamata yet handy to town. Friendly, helpful manager. Stayed 2 nights two weeks apart while touring.
• hollyhF4569BL (10/5): Great Place - Great location, Andy is very welcoming and full of helpful information. Sparkling clean and comfortable room with a great, fully stocked kitchenette. Highly recommended if you are in the area.
• Colin (9/5): Good Budget Motel on the Outskirts of Matamata - Clean and comfortable accommodation on the outskirts of Matamata, parking right outside the room. Easy check-in, checkout. Good size bed and friendly staff. Some road noise, not not too bad
• Elizabeth (7/5): Lovely, apart from the party that happened outside our room at 1am! We assume it was other guests. -
• Damien (8/5): -
• Peter Stephan (9/5): -
• Toni (8/5): Awesome host - Awesome stay - It was close to the event we attended. They fully bent over backwards to accommodate us, we asked to arrive early as we had an afternoon wedding to attend, every room we booked was ready for us. Beds were comfortable, it was clean and perfect for our family.
• OnAir65704196827 (10/5): A nice little find - This was a lovely little motel. Easy to find, well organised, had everything you need for a short stay, clean, tidy and comfy. Host was helpful but not intrusive. TV had Netflix that actually worked, and Sky TV, an added bonus. We were able to park directly outside our room which was helpful for us as we had several cases. And an ideal place to stay if you are visiting Hobbiton
• Carol (8/5): Great little find - Great locality for Hobbiton. Clean, relatively quiet although sone road noise, and well resourced. TV had Netflix and Sky which was great. Nothing really.
• Sandra (10/5): Great stay. - Warm welcome. Comfortable well spaced room. Comfy bed. Fantastic shower. We booked to visit Hobbiton, pity we didn’t have more time to enjoy the town and surrounding area. Nothing
• dochotwayne (10/5): Great place to stay when visiting Hobbiton - When I first booked Tower Road for our visit to Hobbiton I had some questions and was so impressed that Andy (the owner) replied IMMEDIATELY. That set the stage for a great stay. Andy greeted us personally when we arrived and had our room ready even though we arrived before check in time. He gave us great suggestions for dinner and coffee, and instructions for getting to Hobbiton. Our room was spacious and super clean, there was lots and lots of hot water for showers, and the AC was modern and silent. I highly recommend you stay here when you visit the Matamata area. Thanks Andy.

• Elizabeth (10/5): - A very comfortable nights sleep. Tower Road motel is in a very convenient location close to the town. We found it somewhat complicated to get the TV working
• Ng (8/5): -
• Anthony (10/5): Totally enjoyable! - Location was quite & not far from Matamata city centre. A pleasant surprise was the Firth Tower Museum just a few hundred metres up the road. The owner was very friendly & helpful. The motel is small & quite old but incredibly clean with everything you need supplied. The shower is quite small. If you were a big person I imagine it would be squishy trying to shower & dry in there. An average sized person fits fine.
• Departure13814648428 (10/5): Stay of a life time - I had a really fantastic experience nice place very quiet. Easy access big room plenty of space. Shower was great toilets work well easy access to internet. Close to the centre of town beautiful waterfalls 15 min drive must see. Staff went above and beyond to make sure you had a great experience very cheap stay worth every penny.
