This lovely place is conveniently placed for your time in Matamata. We took a Hobbiton tour, enjoyed a St. Patty's Guiness and coffees in town. Friendly manager ( thanks Andy) ensures you have essentials in your clean welcoming room. Love the windows for fresh air and blooming hydrangea in the yard. Retro vibes.

What a great find in Matamata. This small property is well maintained and quite personable. You feel like you are living in a guest house vs a motel. Excellent, starched linens and sparse, but workable furniture. The host is great, allows guests to use their extended back garden play area, and the property sits right on the rails to trails path. Very convenient location for a stopover to Hobbiton. Would stay here again.

A lovely location and tidy room, great host who was lovely to chat to and gave great tips for places to eat, best time to leave to get to my Hobbiton tour etc which was super appreciated! Lovely cats to have a smooch with too! As a solo female traveller I felt completely safe and at ease here and would absolutely stay again.

We LOVED our stay here and Andy was so kind and helpful. The room was comfortable with thoughtful touches like hot chocolate mix and milk in the fridge. Very clean too! The town of Matamata was delightful with great food options, and you can’t beat the proximity to Hobbiton. I wish we would have had one more day just to relax and would like to come back!

We stayed at the Tower Road Motel in Matamata and arrived past check-in time. Andy was super accommodating and very helpful. The motel itself is adorable, clean, and quiet. They provided an informational guide with great tips about nearby areas, which we definitely would have taken advantage of if we had stayed longer. It's only a 15-minute drive to Hobbiton, which was one of the main reasons we chose this place. Overall, we had a lovely experience and would love to stay longer next time.
