My partner, son and I loved everything about Melissa’s quaint little chalet - from the little touch of choccies left out for us to the fluffy fresh towels, immaculately clean, comfortable bed and plush pillows to the use of a washing machine and the best shower which exceeded my expectations given it was a capsule install. The outside patio area with solar lights was lovely to seat out in after our return from Hobbiton and thanks to Rheas knowledge of extra tour tix opportunities we managed to score tix for the night of our visit (which was the only reason we stopped into Matamata)
In hindsight, having paid way too much for an awful 3star hotel room in Rotorua, we should have stayed here for the 3 nights we were there and driven the short 45mins daily instead.
I thoroughly recommend Melissa’s chalet to anyone for a comfy overnight or couple of days stay. It would be ideal for a couple but even with our 11yo son it didn’t feel cramped.
