    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.

    I love the Lord of the Rings movie set, it was worth the money. A cheerful leader led the way to the movie set and described the details of the place and trees for the movie shooting. It ended with a drink which was relaxing.

    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.

    We really enjoyed the quiet and peaceful location of Jen and Dowie’s Airbnb. The story of how they built the house without nails is amazing and we appreciated the craftsmanship and how homey and comfortable the barn is. They are wonderful hosts and provide amazing food and conversation. We also really appreciated Jen making calls for us and recommending restaurants. We will hoped be able to go back to one of our favorite Airbnbs.

    The rural views from every room were so beautiful and serene. It is so local to Matamata where we were visiting relatives and my sister has already booked a re-stay to come with her girl friends. I am also planning to visit again soon and bring my husband. The rooms were fresh, welcoming and very comfortable. On a cold day, to arrive to the heat pump already going made it instantly cozy and relaxing.

    The location is amazing, 10 minutes out from Matamata surrounded by beautiful mountain and farmland scenery. Brenda was very welcoming and friendly. Her cat even more so! The bed was to die for and it was lovely to relax in the hot tub in the evening. My daughter loved the garden with the play equipment and little Hobbit hole. Great location to go to Hobbiton and Tauranga.

    The house was absolutely beautiful, in close range of everything and central to other places you may want to travel to aswell. It had everything you needed and even had free laundry facilities you could use which came in handy. But overall would recommend to anyone travelling to Matamata looking for a place to stay 😊

    It was a beautiful little cottage in the countryside - it was very quiet and peaceful! Short drive to town to restaurants and shops, and not far from Hobbiton which is why we went to Matamata originally. The owners of this BnB take great care of it and a lot of love has gone into setting it up.

    Very convenient location for visiting Hobbiton and Matamata city. Very big room and bathroom and good sized private kitchen. Nice hot shower. Quiet despite being close to road. Friendly and somewhat chatty cat visited us in the evening (left open door and he snuck in, which was hilarious).

    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!

    Really friendly staff and long term tenants. Gave me dinner and something to drink. Made me feel really welcome, it was super lovely. Had a good laugh. If I came back to Matamata I’d definitely consider staying here again due to the aroha I was shown when staying here.

    My mum and are from the UK and we chose the broadway motel for our stop over before hobbiton and then heading to Rotorua. We loved the size of the apartment and the outside space. Very clean and someone came and cleaned and made our bed in the morning.
