    Absolute gem of a place just on the outskirts of Matamata. If you want a quiet and comfortable stay when you are visiting the area I would 100% recommend it. The hosts were lovely and very accommodating. We didn't have a car and were offered lifts...

    The location, facilities and hostess were fabulous. We had a two night stay and a continental breakfast was provided. A lovely place to stay and one we will return to.

The funky Poolhouse overlooks the pool (covered out of season) and is at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac on the edge of a small, but buzzing, centrally located town, surrounded by exquisite Waikato farmland and horse studs.
My favourite thing is to travel and experience new countries and cultures, so Sooty and I are excited to welcome and hopefully meet you, if I am on site at the time of your visit:)
The Poolhouse is a flat, 15min walk to town or the racecourse and a 10minute drive to Hobbiton. There is a corner shop 500m away:) Matamata is a centrally-located town, being only a 45minute drive to gorgeous Mt Maunganui surf beach, the bubbling mudpools of Rotorua and beautiful Waikato River bike trails.
