    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.

    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.

    On the first day, landlord showed us the whole house and recommended us an Italian restaurant called Osteria in Matamata. Although the house was built in 1904, the interior decoration was very delicate. Each room has ensuite. They are perfectly clean. The internal sound insulation is very good and quiet. In general it is like a five-star hotel. The breakfast is really delicate and all homemade. I highly recommend Villa Walton👍👍👍

    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.

    Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Matamata Country B&B and couldn’t have asked for more. The attention to detail in the room was superb. Exceptionally clean, private and comfortable. The large shower had great pressure and hot water. Having a car park right outside the studio and being so close to town was really handy. The hosts were extremely hospitable, we will definitely be back and look forward to our next visit!

    The standard of the accommodation is very very high, with a tremendous attention to detail. There is food for breakfast, luxury bath robes, brilliant shower and overall felt like the standard of a 5 star hotel. The hosts were friendly and welcoming and gave us tips on places to see. Also there are laundry facilities for guest use which is very handy.

    The location worked very well for us. The hostess gave us some good recommendations for hikes nearby. This was a very good location for our visit to the Hobbiton Set nearby. The downtown is charming, and the hostess gave us great recommendations for places to dine out.
