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.

My son and I stayed at the Tower Road Motel for one night. The room was really clean and comfortable. It was a quiet place to sleep and easy to get to the sites around Matamata. The owner was really friendly and accommodated our early arrival. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

What a delightfully retro Motel!!! We loved the location (just outside of town), easy parking in front of our room and plenty of space for our stay. Also, Andy the owner was very welcoming.

Nicely appointed rooms that would be comfortable for more than a night's stay. Liked the opportunity to sit in the small gazebo at the back of the garden. Although out in the country it is situated on a busy road so a lot of traffic noise.

Tower Rd Motel was a comfortable stay with plenty of room for an affordable price. I stayed due to its 15-20min drive to Hobbiton. Check in/out was easy with friendly staff. A short 2 minute drive into town and you'll find a few good food options around. Would recommend it to anyone passing through Matamata
