Everything nothing
Everything that was required was there. Close to town for dinner if required.
Nothing.
We had a wonderful stay! The place was spotlessly clean, warm, and beautiful, and the host was as kind and friendly as could be. I highly recommend it, you'll love the relaxing pace here.
Friendly manager, tidy clean room

这个位置离霍比特人村真的太棒了,而且住宿也非常好,我很满意
Exceptionally clean. Friendly accommodating staff. Heater on when arrived late in day.
Super clean and warm
Host was fantastic, bed was super comfortable.felt like home away from home.
Shower was a little snug but still worked well.
Location is out of town (but not far) so quite nice to be away from the hustle bustle of busy traffic main roads.
Everything was fine. Nice decor and good facilities, very clean and host was very hospitable.
Lovely bed,comfortable
Shower was a little snug but absolutely fine.
Great price. Amazing time there. Staff are lovely! Immaculately clean and perfect location for Opal Hot pools, Hobbiton and Field Days. Would definitely stay again. We were Family of 4 and having the one bedroom worked perfectly for our needs. It has a little playground too which was a nice touch.

As an extended family, we spend a few days in Matamata on an annual basis and always stay at the Tower Road Motel. Each room is spacious and impeccably clean. The motel is close to town, but also close to the local hot pools. We appreciate the heat pumps in Winter!
Great place to stay as a stopover between Auckland and Rotorua, also when visiting Hobbiton. The room was exactly what we needed for the one night stay. Staff were also super friendly and allowed us to check in early which we appreciated hugely! Super thankful.
There was no conditioner in the shower so we had to pick some up. I'm sure staff would have helped us with this if we asked but we didn't realise until late!
I didn't have breakfast but I enjoyed my stay. Wonderful sleep, comfortable bed. Best bed like my own.😄 Cleanliness was excellent. Colour's seemed to be harmonious. I definitely would stay there again. I recommend this to friends and families.
Very clean room, comfortable and very friendly welcome
We use the tower road motel matamata when we are down that way, as it's very convenient to the township, and a base for visiting other tourist places. We always get a warm welcome on arrival and it's a very comfortable stay for a few days, always clean and tidy.
Motel liegt etwas außerhalb von der Stadt in ruhiger Lage, alles aber gut fußläufig zu erreichen. Idealer Ausgangspunkt für das Hobbiton Movie Set. Super nette Gastgeberfamilie. Zimmer groß, sauber, alles vorhanden.
The motel is located just outside of town in a quiet area, but everything is easily accessible on foot. It's an ideal base for exploring the Hobbiton Movie Set. The host family is incredibly friendly. The rooms are large, clean, and have everything you need.
A great place to stay , very clean . I stayed in one of the units with a carport which would be an advantage if it was raining or frosty weather although my stay provided excellent weather this time. The Host was very welcoming and helpful. Nice and quiet and no noise from next tenants. Thanks Beth
The bed - big, very comfortable and could watch TV in bed. Sky
All good
The owners were super friendly & kind. We were late to the motel but they were unfazed and organized everything seamlessly. I could easily have stayed a week or two with the facilities.
It was a tad out of town but this was also a bonus for privacy.
Nice and tidy as soon as you walk smells amazing
Nothing
Friendly owners
Wifi not that good
Clean and tidy rooms, great location for our needs.
Nothing, stay was great.
We used this place as a base for day trips, really convenient location, Andy the owner was responsive to all communications and very accommodating. Great customer service. Rooms were clean, tidy, warm, comfortable bed and good shower pressure.
If you like to be right in the town centre, this is a short 4min drive.
Best sleep so far on our trip around the North Island. Great room that fully met out needs. Friendly staff very homely.
It was easy to find, very clean and the host, Andy, really made you feel welcomed. A few minutes drive from Matamata centre. Had a nice walk on the Heritage Trail. A good stop before visit to Hobbiton.
The room was preheated before we arrived. Very clean. All that we needed was provided. Staff very welcoming. We were later than we'd have liked. No problem
There wasn't anything not to like.
Location fine. Breakfast N/A.
Dishes pots and utensils were not clean. They had not been washed properly. Had to rewash and sterilize. Not a good look!
The lady in reception was friendly and helpful. The room was clean and tidy.
Very comfortable beds and great staff
Shower a little small and therefore leaked through shower curtain but no big deal
Easy check in, very clean and well stocked for amenities
Nothing, it is a great place to stay
Great little motel. Comfortable room, quiet, laundry machines, short drive to restaurants and city center. Be sure to ask about the hot water situation especially if you plan on a late night shower. Recommended!
Sehr gute Ausstattung, freundlicher Check-In, großes bequemes Bett, gute Heizung.
Owner very friendly
Smell of curry from previous occupants, still persisted, but this was explained by the owner
사장님의 응대가 정겹고, 친절해서 편안하게 잘 쉬었습니다. 호비튼 가기 전에 잠만 잘 수 있는 숙소를 찾았는데, 깔끔하게 잘 관리된 가성비 숙소였어요.
We stayed at Tower Road in March for 2 nights during our North Island road trip and went from here to Hobbiton which is just a very short drive from Matamata. The 2 room unit was a true home away from home, with comfortable beds and all the kitchen facilities we needed to cater for ourselves. Great value for money for a group of 4, and really friendly host who made sure we had everything we needed for a great stay.
Riding a motorbike. Some heavy showers during my stay. Motel owner helped ensure my parked bike was under cover and kept dry.
The size of the room, cleanliness; locxation was perfect as close to town but not walking distance and was very quiet. really enjoyed it.
all was good for us
We recently had a large family group stay at the motel for a wedding. The motel is very clean and tidy with some recent room upgrades. Andy (the host) was very welcoming on our arrival and was great to chat to. The beds are comfortable and the shower is amazing !!. We had emails sent beforehand advising us of check in details. Our overall experience was great, and we look forward to staying again if we ever return to Matamata.
We stayed for only 1 night. Our room was very clean and comfortable. The shower was excellent and the manager was pleasant to deal with
The location and the rooms were very good for our stay as a family. We liked it very much. Andy was very helpful and has a cheerful personality and gave some good advise on restaurants to dine.
The location and comfort Andy generally pleasant and personable.
The list of don’t do this and that or else you’re liable for charges. All about the money! Sliding door pulled closed and locked a good portion of the time. Queried on what our intentions were here on 2 separate occasions. Andy friendly enough in himself but you certainly would not want to cross him!
Great location. Easy check-in and checkout. Staff was super friendly! Rooms are large. Very clean and well maintained. Value for money. Loved it!
The staff were welcoming and lovely, the facilities were clean and relaxing. It was a great stay and we will definitely be back when we come to NZ again.
Great for a short stay while travelling
accueil tres chaleureux. Bel hébergement, tres propre et bien équipé, sans oublier des lits tres confortables.

Nichts auszusetzen. Personal, Sauberkeit, Größe des Zimmers, Einrichtung, Parkmöglichkeiten. Alles hat gepasst, habe super geschlafen. Nur 15min von Hobbiton entfernt. Jederzeit wieder!
Room was clean and tidy. Great shower. Comfortable bed. Phoned motel prior to stay and the manager was very friendly and helpful
Nothing
Very friendly and welcoming owner, very well equipped room.
I was enthusiastically welcomed by Andy and immediately wished I were staying longer. The unit was thoughtfully equipped and you could tell that the owners care. I was only staying one night in order to visit Hobbiton but discovered that there is a lot to do in the area and I definitely would like to return and ride the Bike Trail.
Refurbished rooms, spacious and comfortable.
Location and the rooms where very homely
Nothing we both loved it
Really friendly welcome. Rooms were a good size and very clean. Powerful hot shower.
Nothing
Although an older motel it had all that we required.
Nothing
Host was super friendly and 2 room unit was very well equipped. Very comfortable beds and quiet location as well.
I would like more water pressure for the shower.
The place was amazing. The pics don't do it justice. I loved the friendly staff and the spacious room. The shower pressure was epic.
There wasn't much that I didn't like.
Great personal approach
All good
Super limpio y ordenado, cumple expectativas y está aun mejor de lo que se ve en fotos. Es silencioso y alejado del centro pero cerca a la vez.
Me gustó todo. Lo único malo que pasa en todos lados es que se escucha a la habitación de al lado. Nos despertó una señora hablando por teléfono en altavoz muy temprano fuera de la habitación, en la mesita de afuera. Pero eso no es culpa del alojamiento 👍🏼
Stayed while visiting family. Close location to family was a bonus. Fabulously clean. I chose based on reviews about great nights sleep in very comfortable beds. This is True so big ✅️!! Will Stay again.
