It all ends with this scene which is stunning. Only a 30 second walk from the car park to the river this shot was taken about a 5 minute walk further downstream on the main track at sunrise.

Hotel is old with small rooms which we found quite enchanting, the mineral pools down by the river were great and you should arrive in time to enjoy these. Dinner was quite ordinary though and don’t order the steak. Breakfast was enjoyable though. We would stay here again but order for dinner what you would expect to come out of the freezer well. There is nowhere else nearby to get dinner. Loved the grounds and ambience of the hotel. Would return.

On the night we were there, was a function, the restaurant and bar was very noisy and busy. The overall hotel was great, beds very good and excellent breakfast spread. We were warm enough as the heating in the rooms was very efficient but another blanket on the bed would have been nice. Access to pools, and the pools themselves were amazing. Would definitely return

The property made for a delightful overnight stop between the Waitomo Caves and Hobbiton. After the chilly adventure of exploring the caves, relaxing in the hot springs and enjoying a hearty meal at the tavern was the perfect way to end the day. I highly recommend staying here, and I’ll definitely return if I’m ever in the area again.

This is a very rustic property with lots of character. I didn't partake, but was told the included breakfast was very good (apparently the chef is a pastry chef) the room was comfy, and the area was serene. If you stay here you have access to the natural hot pools 24/7. The staff were friendly and helpful. We stayed 4 days and it was nicely convenient to a lot of places. (We went to Hobbiton and Waitomo glow worm caves). Matamata is convenient with other dining options, but the food at the hotel was very good. Very happy with our stay.

Absolutely breathtaking vintage hotel! The walk to the hot springs is lovely and very walkable. Being able to see the falls would add to the grandeur. I did not go into the hot pools but to a finger touch the water was warm.
