Our stay at Housewithnonials property was simply brilliant. The house and the views were breathtaking, the hosts were so warm and welcoming, my kids still remember that hot chocolate Jen prepped for them!

Loved the space, the lotr decor and the lovely property/farm. The owner is a gem of a human and we adored chatting. We got married at hobbiton and this space was utterly perfect: right down the street, great open space and lots of mirrors, and a great space to have friends and family go in and out of all day for the event. She helped with lots of parking options. The breakfast was lovely. And we absolutly loved Ludo, the house dog 🥰

This plane was fabulous! The property is so beautiful you could have a wedding there. Sue is a fantastic chef and we had an amazing breakfast. Our room was lovely and had a door to a wraparound porch overlooking the
gardens and filled with the songs of the local birds. I highly recommend a stay here!

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.
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.
The customer service was exceptional thanks Tony and Diane! Even at 12pm! I really enjoyed how comfortable the bed was when we stayed and all the extras and finer details that you have thought about and put into the motel. Small quirks like being able to book a private spa free of charge and even just having the bit of grass there for kids to run around or play games. Most motels would have taken the opportunity to build more rooms and overall it was just a nice place to stay!
Absolutely fabulous room for a short stay in the Waikato. Matamata is a great location to be based in to explore - we did Hobbiton and Tauranga from here.
The room was really well appointed and you can see great care has been taken by Linda to accommodate her guests.
There's no cooking facilities apart from the toaster, but you are well set up with crockery to bring back something from one of the restaurants in Matamata and eat on the porch with a lovely outlook.
The studio was amazing, beautiful bed and linens. A stunning feature wallpaper behind the bed.
lovely touches of the homemade biscuits so yummy with a hot drink.
Great nights sleep in the bed best in ages !
in the morning the perfect breakfast was delivered by Glen. He was very helpful on where to go , Hobbiton, Matamata and sights around the area , hot pools etc.
it was a pleasure to stay at The Matamata Lodge on my travels . Will be back again !
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.
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.
We came for Hobbiton but stayed for Walnut Lodge.
I recommend overnight stays in the country. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Walnut Lodge. Mia was an excellent host, ensuring we were looked after but also respected our privacy.
The lodge was spotless. The attention to cleanliness was appreciated.
We have recommended Walnut Lodge to friends and family should they ever visit Matamata.
We were absolutely blown away by Kylie's hospitality and loved every minute of our stay in Matamata. It truly is a 10/10 location. The house is very clean, decorated with great attention to detail. We even got a lovely surprise, given it was our honeymoon. This place was a highlight on our trip to New Zealand. Highly recommend!
We loved our stay at Broadway in Matamata! We probably only needed the apartment behind the house as it was just the two, I craved a full house to fill all the rooms. It was a lovely cosey stay after a big day at Hobbiton. Great town with lots to see and places to eat. Easy to access and great communication with staff.
We LOVED everything about Matamata Lodge! Mark and Glenn’s attention to detail in every part of our stay was phenomenal. The lodging was perfectly appointed, the food was excellent and delicious, the environment was spectacular!
Everything. The friendliness of our host, the beauty of the garden, the goats' antics, the beautiful poplar trees, the stream near by.... the accommodation was really good... everything you needed was there. Thank you.
Both beds were very comfortable. Everything was very nice, including our hostess. Motel was handy to town and only a short drive to Hobbiton, which was the main purpose of our visit to Matamata
A place in the Paddock is a lovely space on a farm just outside of Matamata- there is a small museum on property- the space is clean, quiet and just lovely!
The most beautiful home in an amazing setting near Matamata. The hosts are so gracious and kind and will go out of their way to make you feel comfortable.
