Tower Road Motel is a great property run by great people. Andy was very communicative and helpful about our reservation and check-in because we were arriving late. We will definitely stay again!

Very comfy

A bit further out of town than it looked on the map, but that turned out fine. Very nice host and very welcoming, even his cat was there to greet us! . A “comfy” place to stay in and best of all, quite spacious. The only thing is that the shower cubicle was very small so gave it a miss as we were returning home that day.

Weekend away.

I was in Matamata for a family celebration. I had stayed at Tower Rd Motel last year so I was pleased to be able to book there again. I felt very welcome and the staff are approachable and friendly. The motel is easy to locate, just out of Matamata, and I was able to walk to my venue - it was a lovely day with beautiful Autumn colours to admire. The motel room I had was clean, roomy and had everything I needed. The bed was comfy and I had a great sleep. My only 'gripe' - I like strong tea and I found the teabags to be quite weak. Not a biggy. I'd recommend and would stay again when in Matamata.

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.
