Get away from it all, relax in a 1971 Bedford bus over looking lake Karapiro

"We weren't quite sure what to expect, as we are not normally into the glamping style of accommodation. But we loved every bit of what this place had to offer. Peaceful, no TV, surrounded by nature, over looking lake, fishing rod, kayaks, BBQ, selection of fresh produce on arrival, no neighbours anywhere close, what more could you want for serious downtime. Being a bus it has 'bus' sized amenities so you have to be prepared for that. Having said that it had a full sized very comfortable bed. Also...

Sleeping is upstairs while washroom/shower is downstairs which was a small inconvenience but not a major issue. Wayne was available whenever we had a question.

Kaimai Range Country Getaway

"The views are stunning and even on the first day when we had rain we were able to enjoy the outside and didn't care when in the baths. The accommodation is nearer to the main house than expected but we had no noise or concerns about privacy. We'd initially considered inviting another couple to join us for a night but glad they couldn't make it as the bathroom is off the master and we enjoy our own space. The location is definitely outstanding, even when it's windy it didn't seem to impact us....

Large modern studio set on two peaceful acres, just two minutes from CBD
10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (17)
"This is essentially a pole barn, and I assume it was once used as one, as indicated by the slight farm smell inside. The fact it's wide open is NOT a negative it's nice having room to move around, and the sleeping arrangements just work. Nobody (5) of us bothered the other while sleeping or staying up later than the rest. It worked out great. The kids played a game of pool, and we all fed the alpacas out back with nuts provided by the host. The host showed up shortly after our arrival to...

"Family from all over were meeting in Matamata for a BIG 60th celebration and 3 of our family booked into Tower Rd Motel. I was there first and found the check in process very easy. Our host was most informative and was able to direct us to our venue. She suggested we put the heat pump on as not a lot of sun had hit the room - we were most grateful when we arrived back after the party to have a nice toasty room to sleep in. Had a comfortable sleep and would definitely recommend, would stay again...
