Great motel. Manger was very obliging and helpful. Room was clean and tidy. Would stay again. Beds clean and comfortable. No room service but that was OK. We only stayed 2 nights. Pleased with everything and not that far to see my family. Air con came in handy.
Hospitality abounds in Matamata at the Horse and Jockey Inn. A warm welcome, helpful menu suggestions, generous portions of tasty pub food in a relaxed atmosphere. Tender spare ribs smothered in delicious sauce with crispy coated fries. The Thai salad was spicy with tender chicken. An enjoyable dinner.
There is a motel half an hour away from Hobbit. The bungalows built on the side of the mountain were not well ventilated, the outside of the room was very cool, and the room was stuffy and hot, and only one fan was provided for the two rooms. The room sheets are fairly clean. The only pool water that can be advertised does not know how long it has not been changed. Very strong smell of disinfectant water!
What a great place to stay! Sue, the owner, is so welcoming and really went above and beyond. The house is absolutely beautiful and so are the grounds. I took dozens of photos. The gardens are filled birds singing and beautiful flowers. The room itself was beautifully decorated and had an extremely comfortable bed and very nicely decorated ensuite. This is a wonderful place to stay a romantic getaway. Sue is also a great cook! The very large breakfast she made for us was fantastic. I highly recommend a stay here!
The 7 of us had a lovely stay at the hotel, it is a historic hotel so not really many mod cons like you'd have at a city motel, like air con, sky tv and the modern room services, but the staff were amazing and they were very short staffed, and most staff were on duty from breaky to close. The food was to die for, I think over the 4 days we tried at least 1 of everything and it was all 10/10 A free continental breakfast is available to guest, and each morning there were delicious surprises for the guests, which had you guessing each day what it would be, and hoping for donuts The cabins were kept very nice, clean, warm and towels were serviced daily, a few things had been removed from the room but on request we were given replacements, such as fan (it was 24c), a hand basin plug and a missing tv remote, each cabin had its on spa pool which we had on cold as it was refreshing, coffee/tea were available also but no milk. On the grounds there is a camping ground, tennis course (rackets available) , 3 thermal spring pools, a 9 hole golf course (clubs available to hire) a bar area with a cool jukebox, outdoor cafe/restaurant area, indoor restaurant and internally there were lots of comfy rest areas to sit and chill or play chess/drafts or read and books were also available. I'd recommend this place to all, it was def a great venue for our group to spnd new year, we would go back for sure, and the staff made it the experience it was, thank you each and everyone of you
We enjoyed the comfortable accommodations and idyllic setting, overlooking a stunning, green valley dotted with lowing cows. Our hosts, Shona and David, were warm and welcoming (despite our rather late-evening arrival) and were very kind and accommodating during our stay. Kauri Lodge is located in an excellent central location for visiting the Waitomo Caves, Rotorua, and Lake Taupo, among other interesting destinations. We recommend Kauri Lodge for anyone looking for a homey, rustic, farm stay experience. Thank you, Shona and David!
