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.

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 ☀️

Everything as I expected it to be. Very friendly staff. Very quiet from road noise. I will stay there again in the near future. I am a retired Motelier, and it was as I ran my Motel in Hamilton.

We were warmly welcomed by the friendly staff, and the room was very clean and well organised. The bathroom, towels, shower, microwave, dishes, and hand wash were all provided — almost everything we needed was available. It is a perfect place to stay for a night after finishing a Hobbiton tour.
