The main point of our trip was to visit Hobbiton Movie Set. This is an amazing experience, our second trip. Have done both the lunch & dinner experience. Food, staff & experience rate a 10.
Had a great meal at Sofra, food & staff were great.
Breakfast at The Rich Coffee Cafe was nice and the staff were ok.
Visited the I-Centre too and found the staff to be helpful.

Great place to stop off at especially if travelling to Coromandel. Go out for Tea, (Chambers Cafe and Bar was lovely our go-to-place) ,get supplies and have a break.If you’re into Natural fibre, beautiful clothes and a cafe meal Annah Stretton has her Wharehouse/Cafe there with great bargains. ❤️Also Tearoha mineral Spas is 15k further up Rd and is brilliant in Winter. Haircut in mind…Silver scissors. (Book ahead)😁

Great little country town in a good location, close enough to the both Auckland and Hamilton cities but far away enough for peace and quiet.
A town with some great eating options of cafes and restaurants along with local tourism facilities.

If you are coming by car take the Old Tauranga rd & Pukekaure rd off state highway 2 (sign posted golf rd) from Bay of Plenty for excitement. Go & see the glow worms at night. Great walks & cycling along the river

This house was wonderfully built by the owner in a unique timber style and is very comfortable for a total of 10 guests.
The interior and exterior are arranged to gather all the guests on the several tables put at their disposal.
The garden is heaven and properly maintained.
It’s quiet and relaxing.
We highly recommend this house

We loved the friendliness of the hosts and the beautiful spaces and views. Our breakfast was divine and the hosts even treated us with cheese and crackers during the evening. We felt comfortable and warm and shall definitely make another booking.

Matamata was a complete surprise.
Matamata was a complete surprise. We ate at 4 different restaurants and each place had friendly staff and good selections on the menus. The information centre staff were wonderful and very helpful.
Hobbiton exceeded our expectations.
Will definitely be returning to Matamata

It is a shame we don't get to Te Aroha much.
It is a shame we don't get to Te Aroha much. We use to visit when we were children and it has not changed one bit. I'm talking 45 years ago. I find Te Aroha quiet and it is such a pretty town. We don't stay long to enjoy the activities but we did eat at the local Pub/Restaurant just across from our Motel and they do a great Lamb Shank. Apologies, can't remember the Pub. The Te Aroha Motel is the best.
