Good position, easy parking. Very warm.
Bathroom and kitchen dated but functional. Needed more power points
The location was excellent, close to the township. We received a very warm welcome at reception. The room was spacious - a big lounge, dining, kitchen area. The bed was big and extremely comfortable. The pillows were also very good. Although this motel is on a main road it is set well back so the room was very quiet.
The room itself was very dated and in need of refurbishment. However, the good room rate reflected this.
Stay again, what nice motel. haha
The beds are so warm and comfortable, love them. Plenty of parking, so easy to book a room as well.
Needs a paint, bit of mould in bathroom , it needs a heater in the bathroom as well.
super size bed, kitchen, bathroom, and there is a free laundry we can use. it's really wonderful.
the vibes are awesome, garden agreeable, the dog cute, the location near to the town centre.
Mould on the curtains Out dated decor, faded walls, the list is endless
The room was very spacious: it included the actual bedroom and kitchen + living room, so it was very comfortable there. Besides, the manager was super friendly and helpful, and his dog Stirling stole my heart :)
I saw a big cockroach in the bathroom :( But I guess it's something you can expect if you're staying at a motel
Thw location is good near to the the down center, and the envirment is quiet and beautiful I like the garden.
Quiet and comfortable.

It was very very cold It had one small heat pump that even at 30 hardly heated one room little only the hallway bedroom or bathroom. The motel had no investment in insulating any walls nor bedroom or bathroom heating in winter. We were so cold we could not bring ourselves to shower in an icy cold room Although 2 extra bed blankets there were no electric blankets on the bed and you were breathing in ice cold air all night.
Clean facilities. The bed was very comfortable. I liked the kitchen facilities.
More towels for our second night’s stay.
The couch and beds were comfortable plus ample parking, close to amenities.
The bathroom was cold, no heating in there.
Comfortable beds and couch. Ample parking
Bit cold in bathroom, heat pump not warming the space. TV wasn't set up
Beds are always comfortable and warm. Plenty of space to park.
Bathroom was cold. Hard time heating the room with the heat pump.

No cumplía para nada lo visto en fotos
Standard comfortable New Zealand Motel. We needed a place for the night after working late in Hamilton and then early in Tauranga. Perfect for us. The staff were very helpful with the late checkin. As there sign states comfortable and affordable.
We were very happy
Great location to the centre of Matamata. Ideal for a nights stay. Comfortable.
You did need the heating on all night to keep the room warm as it was cold otherwise. We had it on 30 constantly.
Great location for an overnight trip.
It was dated but clean and tidy.
Good location
The beds were oomphy
The photos that I looked at when booking were not like the room we had
Basic accommodation but clean and tidy, good value
Laundry, size and charm
It’s a bit of a walk to the town centre
Nice place to stay, unassuming on the outside but good room, comfy bed. + Free washing for your laundry. Cute little library in the laundry room too. Book swap!
Oven was ancient, lucky we had takeaways. No other flaws
Beds etc were so comfortable and warm.
Heat pump didn't heat properly, the remote was turning the TV down. No heater in bathroom
Good price during the public holiday, walking distance to town centre
cant have aircon and hair dryer or kettle working at same time

Convenient location, clean and had all services
One of the beds was too soft
Very comfy beds, pillows, No electric blanket though. Very clean
electric blanket
Everything is goooooood! 👍
Only wish! Electric mat on the bed 😉
very tidy unit, comfortable lounge area, adequate kitchen, bed was comfortable, no electric blanket but overall the unit was kept warm by the heat pump. Shower excellent. Easy access to town. Quiet at night in spite of being near main road.
nothing to complain about
Close to town. Check in was made so easy as well
Not much sound proofing between rooms
Easy access in and out of the lodge, room was clean and tidy...Heat pump done its job
- The outside light wasn't working - Hot water cylinder was very loud when trying to get to sleep - (room 8) not sure if this was the main cylinder for all the rooms..? but seemed loud when refilling and heating up. -Bathroom plug didn't fit the basin. -Shower pressure was lacking, might pay to upgrade shower head and water pressure. -No main tv control to be able to have TV on Sleep, only a Sky remote. -The little stove top and plug looked out dated and alittle to close to element. -Only had 1 towel to use for a night shower and morning shower of our stay. -Was a little concerned with the door locks as they would be easy to break open if anyone would want to get in. -Window nettings looked very tried and old, just felt dirty.
The sheets were clean. I’m very fussy with my bed sheets and it was very clean
Kitchen was outdated but functional
环境不错,服务也好

It was really close to the heart of Matamata! Our room key was ready for us so we can get in with ease.
The heating was only in the lounge room, we kept the door to the bedroom open to allow for heat to travel in.
Lovely comfy bed, warm with heat pump, sunny and quiet, very clean, nice host
Entrance door latch past its useby date so worn struggled to open door had to get owner to open from outside. Hot tap on sink would not work worn out. Tap on handbasin totally seized up.

Very comfortable.
A clean and convenient motel. Large comfortable bed. Nice 3 seater recliner settee. Good sized rooms. Older motel but well maintained.
very happy with the accommodation at the price
nothing I didn't like
Situated on the shuttle bus run to the airport
No kitchenette
Location. Had what you need for a short stay.
No hot running water in bathroom sink. Tired and outdated. Needs some attention to power points.
Peaceful
Missed the personal touch. TV didn't work and they couldn't fix it. They did offer to change our room but we declined. No milk offered, no room maintenance carried out and the rubbish bin had not been emptied from earlier occupants.
Close to hobbitton while excellent comfortable facilities
Reasonably central. Comfortable beds. Great heating. Quiet.

Nice convenient location. Parking right outside the room. Plenty of great ameneties in the room. Quick walking distance to the town.
The door to the toilet didn't fully close and couldn't lock. Not an issue just being myself and my partner, but not nice when the air pressure opens the door... There was also a light on outside the room on the first night illimunating the cars. Not a light we could control. It wasa difficult to sleep with it being so bright.

Ruime kamer met slaapkamer, badkamer en living/keuken. Ik was hier slechts 1 nacht maar daarvoor voldeed het geheel aan verwachtingen.
Kamer is iets gedateerd, maar alles werkt naar behoren.
