Location was excellent for Hobbiton and Waitomo Caves visit! We could walk to a lovely (and very yummy) coffee shop each morning and a fun brew pub at night. There were other restaurants on the street, but one was having a private party and another was fully booked. If you’re looking for super luxury travel vibe, it’s very hard to find in this area, my friend who is a pretty posh gal was a bit worried. However the Broadway Motel was IMMACULATELY clean, spacious, and very welcoming. We both were very please and highly recommend it!

Nothing! It was great.

Fantastic kids play area. Clean and tidy room which was a good size. I recommened this to a lot of hotels as it seems to be a reoccurring thing. But the single bed for kids in family rooms where there are beds near living and kitchen areas should be in bedroom. So you can get the kids to bed and stay up and watch TV and use the living areas while they sleep.

The pool has very sharp and uncomfortable edges and steps. Especially the kids one. Watch your children when splashing around. My son got a few scratches and grazes. It was very expensive Unfortunately our fridge wasnt working properly so we couldnt keep things cold or frozen..

The owners of the property were so incredibly friendly and helpful - firstly allowing for an early check-in at 12pm, and then with every in person interaction that followed. Our villa was absolutely gorgeous, very modern and clean, and exceeded expectations, with a huge bathroom that made getting ready for the wedding I was attending a breeze, seperate bedroom and living room space and a great sized kitchenette with everything you might need. The location was a real highlight, right on the Main Street which was perfect for a bottle of wine and a bite to eat, and it was only a 3 minute walk to the I-Site for Hobbiton pick up.

Genuinely couldn’t fault it - one of the best stays we’ve had in a long time! Only wish we could have stayed longer.

The room was sparkling clean and with lots of thought put into additional items such as toasters etc. The location was fantastic, we were coming from Hobbiton by car and it was about 20 minutes drive, and close to shops and restaurants. There was a lovely big garden for kids, and a clean pool, which we didn’t use, but it looked lovely.

An extra shelf or some hooks in the bathroom would be good, as there wasn’t much space to put toiletries, but that was a very minor detail.

One of the best motels we stayed in our trip to NZ north island - very clean and modern -Everything was perfect and Spotless clean - Location perfect all restaurants and shops nearby .. quiet and peaceful area .. Parking at the motel was also very convenient and easy -- Hobbiton just 20 mins away Me and my family loved our stay in Matamata and in Broadway motel - I loved the small down of Matata - should've stayed more nights !

There was nothing we did not like

Beautiful room, private, nice back patio area, big bathroom, very helpful and friendly staff. Loved how clean it was when we arrived. A very, very amazing stay for sure. Anytime my family and I are coming down to Matamata we will make sure to stay here again. p.s - apologies for popping fat manus in the pool. It was too nice not too lol

That I couldn't take the bed home with me lol because that was the best 2 sleeps I've had in a very long time.

Being greeted with a smile by the owner at night was very memorable. Not only that, the lovely owner helped to get us this very last minute booking, and made us feel so welcome. I explained to her that another motel had told us very rudely only a few minutes after the due booking time to not come, even after I had explained we were running late due to car trouble. This other motel was so so rude and happy to leave us stranded in the middle of the night. So with this motel in Matamata, they not only saved the day but they made our stay very very comfortable - basically they cared, whereas the Morrinsville one couldn't care a less. So from now on when I go to visit my elderly mother, I will come back to this motel where the owners have run this business for 41 years. The room was lovely, the shower fabulous, the pool which I tried out was just on point, then in the morning we were greeted by lovely white doves - now you can't get better than that. Thank you Matamata, thank you Broadway Motel - myself and the other granny travelling with me are so grateful and will come back.

Nothing, it was perfect

The owners were so welcoming on arrival and explain everything clearly to you on arrival. It had everything we required for our stay and the kids loved the big garden and all of the equipment in it. They also thoroughly enjoyed the pool and hot tub! Location was great and shops were a walkable distance.

There is nothing we disliked about this property

I arrived well after check in ends and the lady was more than happy to still check my partner and myself in. I was very stoked with how friendly and kind she was. The room was so beautiful , they had robes aswell , the beds were phenomenal and the facilities were clean and gorgeous. Highly recommend. Will be returning again.

That I didn't stay there for another night , highly recommend.

I made a booking but unfortunately due to a lag in the system there was not a room available for my second night. The motel owner contacted me within the hour to break the bad news which I was disappointed to hear as i was looking forward to my stay. However, I sincerely commend them for calling me as soon as they realised there was a problem giving me as much time as possible to make alternative arrangements. Communication is king and these guys do it well.
