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.
Lovely stay. Dining options at the restaurant are amazing. Chales are cosy with private hot tub. Staff is friendly. Really recommend and will be back in the future. PS: Great option if you are visiting Hobbiton. (around 23min drive)

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 was such a fantastic spot to stay for a few nights, the grounds are immaculate, the hot springs incredible, the buildings are full of charm and character. We could have easily spent longer here, and to top it off the food was amazing!
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.
This place has had a lot of love put into it over the last three years. The hot pools are refurbished and so lovely. The pub/restaurant casual and delicious. Great place to visit
Central location in the Waikato, within an hour of Tauranga, Rotorua, Hamilton and Hobbiton.
Hot pools are handy and a golf course across the road. Staff were friendly and courteous and the food and beverages top class.
