Solid main street with good dining and easy parking. If you're in that part of the country, this is a good place to make an overnight.

It is a nice small town, and easy to get to Hobbiton, but there is much more to do if you have a car to get around.

Just OK. They are lucky that they have Hobbiton.

I wouldn’t recommend going to the Waitomo Caves. It’s cool, but not worth the long drive from Matamata.
