Most facilities, such as the local general store and any potential guesthouses, are situated directly on or just off State Highway 2 as it passes through the village. This road serves as the primary artery connecting Matamau to larger towns like Dannevirke to the south and Woodville to the north, making it very practical for those travelling by car. > > > Couples looking for a quiet retreat will appreciate the peacefulness of Matamau. Accommodation here often consists of charming guesthouses or farm stays, providing an intimate setting away from the hustle and bustle. It's an excellent base for exploring the Manawatū region's natural beauty, with opportunities for scenic drives and enjoying the rural landscape. > > > For travellers seeking a convenient stopover on a longer journey through the North Island, staying close to State Highway 2 is ideal. It allows for easy access back onto the main route, ensuring a smooth continuation of your trip without detours. ### When is the best time to go to Matamau? > During this period, you can expect average temperatures ranging from 20 to 25 degrees Celsius, with plenty of sunshine. This makes it superb for exploring the surrounding Manawatū region, including walks along the Manawatū River or visiting local farms and gardens. For couples looking for a relaxing break, the long daylight hours offer ample opportunity for scenic drives through the countryside and enjoying al fresco dining. > > > Alternatively, the shoulder seasons of spring (September to November) and autumn (March to May) also offer good conditions. Spring brings blooming flowers and a gentle warmth, while autumn provides crisp air and colourful foliage. These seasons are particularly good for solo travellers who prefer cooler temperatures for hiking or cycling the various trails around Matamau without the peak summer crowds. ### Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia? ### How can I save on a Matamau hotel booking with Expedia? ### How much is the nightly rate at a Matamau hotel? ## Explore a world of travel with Expedia -
