“Excellent value for money.”

Reviewed 19 April 2013 via mobile

Clean and friendly, 50mb of free wifi was a nice surprise. Shame about having to come through the pub, but no problems with noise. Kitchen was clean, withmicrowave and kettle. Worth a stay if going to hobbiton.

“Clean and Comfy”

Reviewed 1 March 2013

After having our trip delayed we were a little stressed driving from Auckland to get to Matamata. The lady at the desk was ready for us and the room had everything we needed, I would have added a clock radio and tv. It was very clean and the beds were comfy. Great for my family of 4. We had to...

“Restaurant staff”

Reviewed 6 February 2013 via mobile

Went into restaurant n bar n told there were no tables. She was curt n rude. We went to Indian restaurant ova road. When we looked in restaurant 45 mins later was only half full. We were well dressed n orderly. Lost four adult customers.

Sometimes we have a large booking and need to keep tables and chairs available. We are not a 'take away' and don't want to rush people, going out for dinner should be an enjoyable and relaxed experience. Apologies if you were disappointed, we are not in the habit of turning down business without a genuine good reason. More

“Squeaky clean”

Reviewed 21 December 2012

Absolutely the cleanest place I've ever stayed - it practically sparkles. Conveniently located, cheap, with few amenities. Free but limited wifi, no TV or phones and no one on duty at night or on Mondays. There's an emergency number to call, but without a phone, that's difficult to do. The 'kitchen' is just a refrigerator, sink and electric kettle. Cooking... More

“Good value and location”

Reviewed 25 January 2012

Stayed in Matamata so I could visit the Hobiton tour which takes you out to the movie set for the Lord of the Rings trilogy. I wanted somewhere central and the Horse and Jockey certainly is. The rooms are basic and small but very reasonably priced - I paid NZ$65 for a double with en suite. The rooms are very... More

Thank you for a lovely review, we aim to keep our rooms very compatible and target a market of travellers who 'only need a place to sleep'. More

“Bargain with a few little problems”

Reviewed 12 October 2011

The good and the bad! It couldn't be more central, right in the middle of a delightful small NZ town, a block to the visitors centre where the Hobbiton tour leaves from (but check if the tour's on because they were due to start filming the day after we went) and a friendly old fashioned (well, it is NZ) pub....

As most of our costumers are 'one night stayers' we aim for tidy, clean and affordable rooms. We have added a fridge to the kitchenette and coathangers in the wardrobe, apologies for this inconvenience. Unfortunately building regulations don't allow us to have cooking facilities upstairs, but we serve lovely food in our downstairs restaurant. More
