We stayed here to go to Hobbiton. We could see the horses from the window, and it was a beautiful picture-postcard view. The room was clean, and the kitchen was fully equipped with dishes and utensils, as well as an espresso machine. The owner was kind. It's a very nice hotel with good access to both Hobbiton and the town.

The main point of our trip was to visit Hobbiton Movie Set.

The main point of our trip was to visit Hobbiton Movie Set. This is an amazing experience, our second trip. Have done both the lunch & dinner experience. Food, staff & experience rate a 10. Had a great meal at Sofra, food & staff were great. Breakfast at The Rich Coffee Cafe was nice and the staff were ok. Visited the I-Centre too and found the staff to be helpful.

Matamata is a nice little town with the usual array of shops and some good eating places. Of course its access to Hobbiton, which was the purpose of our trip, but enjoyed a pleasant evening eating fish n chips in the wooded, shaded park area by the Isite.

We were in Matamata for a wedding at Hobbiton which was a great experience for us, even though we are not Lord of the Rings fans. Plenty of places to dine and from Maple Lodge was an easy walk into the main centre of town.

The hosts, Glenn and Mark, were amazing! They made us a lovely dinner and homemade breakfast which was phenomenal. The studio itself is decorated so nicely and cleverly, e.g. with USB sockets near the bed which is a rarity in places we stayed in New Zealand. They have a picnic table on their fields where you can enjoy a nice glass of wine with a truly beautiful and peaceful setting.

Lovely peaceful private location just a 15 minute drive away to Matamata. Also convenient for anyone planning to visit Hobbiton or the hot springs nearby. Lovely couple running the B n B. Breakfast included as well as lovely cakes & cookies as an extra treat. The yellowest butter you’ve ever seen. Delicious 🤤
