The room looks clean! You just have to check some stuff to make sure they're clean, like utensils and other things hidden. Overall, with the view and a decent room to stay in, you get your money's worth!

Matamata Lodge has 2 types of accommodation. King Studio known as the cabin and The Kaimai King Studio. Matamata Lodge is the gateway to Hobbiton, Wairere Falls, Tauranga, Rotorua, Waitomo Caves. A great location for using as a base. Matamata Lodge is a charming retreat in the Waikato region of New Zealand. It offers a mix of relaxation and adventure, set against the backdrop of beautiful natural landscapes. Here are some highlights of what Okauia Lodge has to offer: 1. **Scenic Surroundings: ** The lodge is nestled in a picturesque rural setting, providing guests with stunning views of rolling hills, native bush, and distant mountains. 2. **Comfortable Accommodation: ** Matamata Lodge offers cozy and well-appointed cabin, designed to provide a comfortable and restful stay. The Cabin features modern amenities while retaining a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The Cabin is set off from the main house, it boosts a King Bed with ensuite and a kitchenette that has the latest coffee machine, microwave, electric jug, toaster, sandwich maker, fridge/freezer. Matamata has a bbq for those staying longer who want to stay in and cook, relax and enjoy the magic of the mountains and enjoy the outdoors. BBq is located on the patio with outdoor dining. We offer continental breakfast daily. So, take a break and unwind at this peaceful oasis. Relax on the deck and look down the valley right thru to the Kaimai Ranges. Only minutes away from Matamata & Hobbiton. The property is a starting point to exploring the surrounding countryside. The lodge’s location makes it an excellent base for discovering the natural beauty of the surrounding areas. We are a working lifestyle farm with sheep, cows, and hens. We love the fact that you can enjoy your own oasis, completely private, but on hand should you need us.
