I had an amazing time staying at Judith's place. She is a great cook and a wonderful host. She and everyone in her family is really nice, friendly, welcoming and helpful. The room I stayed in was clean and well ventilated. Judith even left a bottle of water in my room along with towels and map of matamata. Having home cooked meal with her and her family was the cherry on the cake. Her place is walking distance from i-site. If time permits she may even come to pick you up from i-site or drop you off at i-site. Overall I enjoyed my stay at her place. I would recommend her place to anyone who is looking for a cheap and nice place to stay in matamata.
