9.2/10 Wonderful! (555 reviews)
Great spot just on the outskirts of Matamata, quiet and cute and comfortable. You could walk into town on a nice day, but we drove in since it was spring and rainy or overcast. Lovely spot, would stay again!

It is a nice small town, and easy to get to Hobbiton, but there is much more to do if you have a car to get around.

I wouldn’t recommend going to the Waitomo Caves. It’s cool, but not worth the long drive from Matamata.
