Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Mataura?
Given Mataura's small size and rural setting, the best area to stay is generally within the township itself, particularly near Bridge Street.

Mataura is a compact town centred around State Highway 1 and the Mataura River. Bridge Street serves as the main thoroughfare, where you'll find the local shops, cafes, and the Mataura Museum. The town is known for its strong community feel and its connection to the river, which is popular for fishing.

For those looking for a quiet retreat or a base for exploring the wider Southland region, staying in Mataura provides a practical and authentic experience. It's a good fit for travellers who appreciate local hospitality and a peaceful environment away from larger tourist hubs.

If you're a keen angler, staying in Mataura offers easy access to the Mataura River, renowned for its brown trout fishing.
When is the best time to go to Mataura?
The best time to go to Mataura is during the warmer months, specifically from late spring to early autumn (November to April), to fully enjoy the outdoor activities and natural beauty of the Southland region.

During these months, you'll experience longer daylight hours and milder temperatures, which are ideal for exploring the local walking trails, fishing in the Mataura River, or visiting nearby attractions like the Catlins Coast. January and February are typically the warmest months, superb for those who enjoy being outdoors.

For those interested in fishing, particularly for brown trout, the peak season runs from October to April. Anglers will find the river conditions generally more favourable during this period, with a higher chance of a good catch.

While winter (June to August) can be cold and wet, it offers a different kind of beauty with crisp, clear days superb for a cosy getaway, often with fewer visitors and potentially better value on accommodation.
Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?
You can cancel your hotel reservation on Expedia, though it depends on the cancellation policy of your booking. Most bookings are refundable if canceled within 24-48 hours of the scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. If free cancellation is available, you can cancel directly through your Expedia account by logging in, going to "My Trips", and selecting your reservation. To find flexible deals, filter your search by "Fully refundable property" for hotels in Mataura.
How much is the nightly rate at a Mataura hotel?
Prices for hotels in Mataura often vary, but you can find a great deal from CA $145 on Expedia. All sorts of factors affect price, such as the time of year or the days of the week you choose for your stay. Find the best deals by being flexible with your dates, and sort search results by "Price: low to high" for the cheapest rate.
