Independent in Matakitaki from NZ$157

"Very new motel, wonderfully equipped, very modern and beautiful design, very clean. Living room and kitchen together and a large separate bedroom. The staff was great, courteous and friendly. Everything was great and to our satisfaction."

"My room was in good condition. Comfortable bed and the heater worked."

"Despite being unwell and it raining all day we had a great time in the bus. It is beautifully decorated and quirky, something unique and different to the usual short term rental experience. It was lovely to sit and recover and watch the river flow by as we ate delicious lemonade fruit that was provided (seriously they are so good, some of the best fruit we have ever had). The kids loved the bus and unusual layout and despite not getting to use it much the grounds were also nice. Murchison as a town surprised us too, lovely cafes and nice people. The owners were very nice and communicative and obviously care about doing a good job. Theres a few little niggles around functionality but they are small and add to the charm really. recommend"

"Very quiet."

"We liked Philip’s hospitality and the Riverside Room as well as delicious breakfast."
