Top Matau Hotel Reviews

RotokauwaI Farmstay private, cosy ,great walks and views

10/10 Excellent

"Awsam"

The Drydock in Stratford, Central Taranaki

8/10 Good

"Nice new and clean place with good access and parking. Nice view of the mountain from the lounge. Had the pleasure of the company of the neighbour's cat Crackers. He's a hard case thinks he owns the joint. A couple of negatives for us were missing window coverings in the kitchen and one in the lounge left us feeling exposed at night. A few noisy dogs at a property across the driveway."

1900's Villa on the forgotten world road

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed this property’s warm fireplace that heated the house, decks we could sit out on and enjoy the view. It’s seclusion and amenities including the continental breakfast. Had nice thick curtains for a good sleep in. We enjoyed the entertainment system watching dvd movies, and played some of the board games provided. The house is stylishly decorated.The house cat, named Kitten , is peaceful and loves her head massaged. We had a lovely stay. Thank you."

Onaeros Cute Little Cottages - Taranaki Retreat

10/10 Excellent

"Loved this little place. Perfectly set up for the kids and our dog - the kids were happy to stay and play rather than explore the local area!The hosts were very thoughtful leaving home grown fruit, homemade jams, bacon and eggs plus breakfast things. We were not expecting this, and were pleasantly surprised.The cabins were nice and warm, even in the middle of winter. We used the heaters but were able to turn them off, or on low, after an hour.We will definitely be back!"
