We spent four nights in Melissa’s place which proved a perfect base for exploring the Matamata area. The chalet was clean and had everything you might need - including a washing machine which was really useful! Melissa was a great host, checking on us to offer extra fans which was much appreciated. It’s only a short drive into the town centre which has some great cafes and restaurants and you can catch the coach to Hobbiton which is well worth a visit. Would definitely recommend!
