The Tower Motel is in a great location, just minutes from downtown, restaurants and cafes and from all kinds of wonderful hikes as well as Hobbiton The rooms were sparkling clean and the little kitchenettes had every amenity. We would highly recommend staying here if you are in the Madamata area.

Lovely motel in the heart of Matamata. Clean rooms, easy parking, great amenities within the room, and lovely setting, including farmland, horses, and a wonderful walking path right outside the hotel. Also, very close to Hobbiton and for visiting the area around this lovely city.

We have been here the second time during our holiday in NZ, last time one year before. We would come ever again, such a lovely place to be and a very friendly host, who remembered us. We might never come to NZ ever again (we are from Germany) but if we would, we would book this place again. Thank you Andy for everything ☀️
