5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

Solid main street with good dining and easy parking. If you're in that part of the country, this is a good place to make an overnight.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

It is a nice small town, and easy to get to Hobbiton, but there is much more to do if you have a car to get around.

5/5 - Excellent

Enjoyed dinner and drinks at The Redoubt Bar and Eatery in town. Good food. Good service.

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveler

Just OK. They are lucky that they have Hobbiton.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

I wouldn’t recommend going to the Waitomo Caves. It’s cool, but not worth the long drive from Matamata.
