This plane was fabulous! The property is so beautiful you could have a wedding there. Sue is a fantastic chef and we had an amazing breakfast. Our room was lovely and had a door to a wraparound porch overlooking the
gardens and filled with the songs of the local birds. I highly recommend a stay here!

The room was sparkling clean and with lots of thought put into additional items such as toasters etc.
The location was fantastic, we were coming from Hobbiton by car and it was about 20 minutes drive, and close to shops and restaurants. There was a lovely big garden for kids, and a clean pool, which we didn’t use, but it looked lovely.
A Place in the Paddock is located in Matamata and offers a garden. Guests staying at this holiday home have access to a fully equipped kitchen and a terrace.

Centrally located town of the North Island worth an overnight stop for lots of sightseeing spots nearby and good eateries. We recommend Hobbiton to anyone, even if you are not a fan of the movie series. It is a very enjoyable way to spend a couple of hours. Also do not miss the unique Blue Spring in Putaruru.
The township of Matamata has many drinking and eating options for all budgets and some really nice places are reasonably priced.

We visited specifically to visit Hobbiton, this was a perfect stay for this purpose. We had a great meal at The Redoubt, although if eating on a Wednesday evening it helps if you enjoy Country and Western music. Pretty much everything was in walking distance. The area is really well looked after

Great place to unwind and just chill. Handy to Rotorua and Tauranga too. If you want somewhere away from the hustle and bustle of the bigger cities but with all the essentials, Matamara is the place to be.

We loved our stay at A Place In the Paddock.
We loved our stay at A Place In the Paddock. It was just what it says. A beautifully appointed 3 bedroom house with room for family and friends right in the middle of a working dairy farm. We all enjoyed our stay. We visited the nearby Okoroire Hot Springs in Tirau close by. The are beautiful natural thermal pools in the bush. A must do.
Absolutely fabulous room for a short stay in the Waikato. Matamata is a great location to be based in to explore - we did Hobbiton and Tauranga from here.
The room was really well appointed and you can see great care has been taken by Linda to accommodate her guests.
There's no cooking facilities apart from the toaster, but you are well set up with crockery to bring back something from one of the restaurants in Matamata and eat on the porch with a lovely outlook.
One of the best motels we stayed in our trip to NZ north island - very clean and modern -Everything was perfect and Spotless clean -
Location perfect all restaurants and shops nearby .. quiet and peaceful area ..
Parking at the motel was also very convenient and easy --
Hobbiton just 20 mins away
Me and my family loved our stay in Matamata and in Broadway motel - I loved the small down of Matata - should've stayed more nights !
The rural views from every room were so beautiful and serene. It is so local to Matamata where we were visiting relatives and my sister has already booked a re-stay to come with her girl friends. I am also planning to visit again soon and bring my husband. The rooms were fresh, welcoming and very comfortable. On a cold day, to arrive to the heat pump already going made it instantly cozy and relaxing.
Location for us in Matamata, close to the Hobbiton Movie Set, was excellent, about a 15 minute drive. Room was big, with everything you’d want. Laundry facilities a couple of doors down, heater for the cooler weather, plenty of power points to charge up your gadgets. Very affordable, great value for money.
The location to the shops and restaurants was great. There was a kitchen we could use to make tea and coffee at breakfast. the beds were comfortable. The bathroom was clean. there was a fan provided in our room. Although the hotel wasn’t fancy, overall we were happy.
So cute and comfortable!!! Delicious home made bread and fresh eggs for breakfast. It was so relaxing being out on a farm next to goats. And we had a delicious Italian dinner in Matamata. Super close to Hobbiton!! Thanks for a great night!
Hi Mia, thank you so much for the wonderful hospitality you showed us with the homemade bread and healthy, delicious breakfast. The place was superb!! We can't wait to return to New Zealand! Cheers, Poul, Karsten, and Holm
Everything. The friendliness of our host, the beauty of the garden, the goats' antics, the beautiful poplar trees, the stream near by.... the accommodation was really good... everything you needed was there. Thank you.
The room was clean and comfortable with all the facilities we needed. The bed was comfortable with good linen. The motel was very convenient for everything in Matamata but not at all noisy.
Location was in Matamata. Washing machine (in the bathroom). Creative writing and lies (both Bookings and own website) created a false impression of what we were getting.
A place in the Paddock is a lovely space on a farm just outside of Matamata- there is a small museum on property- the space is clean, quiet and just lovely!
