Matariki Motor Lodge

Excellent location, clean, friendly, good price, good water conservation policies. If this review doesn’t go through, it’s Trip advisor!s fault as it’s the second time round, hence abbreviated from the first. Review on trip advisor? Too many hoops to leave a review on your website. Really like Matariki lodge. Repeat customer.

The shower is excellent especially the mist feature. Very lovely lady behind reception, very helpful. Nice and tidy motel, very clean. Comfortable beds and great size plus a variety of pillows. Would highly recommend staying here. Rooms are a great size aswell for the whole family or even a couple. A great place to stay A++++++

Lovely room, nice and spacious and clean. Comfortable bed and quiet setting. Easy access to wherever you want to go. Shops are only a few minutes away. Greeted with a smile and very friendly. The dogs are great too! Definately would stay here again.

Stayed here for 3 nights while in town for a wedding. Lovely and clean, with large, sunny rooms. Kitchenette was very well-equipped and bathroom was spotless. Great water pressure, extremely comfortable bed, and great parking. It was our first visit to Te Awamutu, we would definitely return, and absolutely would stay here again.

Arrived to a clean, warm room. After a long day at work it was great to come back to a clean and tidy room. Room was cleaned daily. Linen was restocked. Kitchen area was extra clean. I felt safe, this was a safe place to lodge in. Easy access to township. Great resturants! All in all an excellent accomondation.

Reading all these previous reviews makes me feel like we stayed in a completely different place. We drove 6hrs and got to Matariki around 7:20pm to a seemingly grumpy male “host”, no welcome, no walking to room, no small talk. A second interaction on the next day of our visit was no better, would almost say was much worse as he snapped when asked a general question. The beds are fairly comfy and the room was clean but a bit dated, the towels need a good napisan and there were ants through the bathroom. We were in a back unit so road noise wasn’t an issue. The motel serves its purpose but I definitely wouldn’t be rushing back and especially not to the rude/not suitable-for-customer-relations male “host”
