    Great location right across from supermarkets & i-SITE office! 😍 Clean and comfy room but struggled with the noisy pub below. Could've used better bathroom supplies. Had a decent stay overall!

    satisfactory walk out in the morning, conveniently located bar, decent evening pub menu

    Disappointingly small room size!!! Only one shower shared among too many rooms!!! Shared kitchen filthy without proper utensils!!! Misleading online description!!! Basic and outdated shared bathrooms providing limited comfort!!! No soap or shampoo provided, which is quite unfriendly!!!

    noise
    inconvenience

    an absolutely delightful stay, if you ignore the noise from the bar below my room. The lovely view of the rubbish bins outside. I expected at least a complimentary drink after such inconveniences. next time, I'll be sure to stay anywhere but here! almost gave a glowing review, but i just couldn't forgive the chaos.

    My stay at the Horse And Jockey Inn was quite pleasant. The location is ideal, right in the heart of Matamata, making it easy to explore nearby shops and cafes. The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable, ensuring a restful night's sleep.

    Service at the restaurant was lacking.

    Great spot for families!

    Really loved the family suite we booked. It was clean and spacious, perfect for us. Just wished there were more beddings. it was a bit chilly at night. Dinner was yum but on the pricier side for a pub.

    tidy room
    delicious meal
    elevated pricing

    clean room and great food, but a bit overpriced

    The room was tidy and comfortable, providing a quiet space for a restful night's sleep. The location was ideal, right in the heart of the area. The meal at the hotel exceeded my expectations, with a variety of delicious options available. I appreciated the friendly staff who made me feel welcomed during my stay.

    The pricing felt elevated for what was essentially a basic pub room.

    billiards
    clean room
    comfy beds
    slow service

    Great stay with friends! We enjoyed playing billiards and exploring nearby Skydive Waikato and Matamata Golf Club, just a short drive away. The staff were nice, and the room had all we needed. It was clean, and the beds were comfy enough for a restful night.

    The only downside was the service at the restaurant. our orders took a long while to arrive, and we felt a bit forgotten despite the busy scene.
