Top Arapuni Hotel Reviews

Tower Road Motel

Tower Road Motel

10/10 Excellent
"The price was right, and the accommodation was close to town, however, not really easy walking distance, but a very short drive. We went to Hobbiton from the information center in Matamata by bus and found that very convenient. We ate it a little restaurant where there was a guitar player, entertaining in the front, and shared fish and chips, which were very good. The hotel was perfect for our needs. It was a bit small in the hotel for the first night that was when the key was in the door on arrival. Everything was easy. Slightly dated, but clean and comfortable."
