Thank you Sherry, for your 5 out of 5 review, it was very interesting talking to you, about where you have been and what you have done in the hospitality business. We hope we can meet up again sometime in the near future. Travel safe back to your home in the South Island!

Super hosts. Private separate accommodation in the loft room. You might expect a first floor room to be hot and cramped but it was truly the opposite. Well ventilated and very roomy with great bathroom and kitchenette facilities. Great hosts who made sure we had their number as a backup if taxis let us down. But turns out it was a lovely easy flat walk back from town to Eldonwood B & B.

Loved my stay at this bed & breakfast. The couple were very welcoming, very friendly and gave us great recommendations of things to do & see during our stay. The room was very neat and tidy and absolutely perfect for our stay. Would definitely recommend staying here!

Very nice and quiet. An enjoyable stay. Stairs to the room are a little narrow.

Thank you Jonathan, for your review. Sorry that you found the stairs a little narrow, they are the standard width and regulations requirements.

Amazing hosts with a lovely property, within easy walking distance of Matamata Main Street. Room was well equipped and very comfortable. Bed was especially comfortable. Faye cooked breakfast from scratch and it was delicious. Hope we are able to return some day and would highly recommend.

Good - Nice hosts. Great breakfast. Close to Hobbiton. Bad - Poor hairdryer, weak power but extremely hot. Room is small with no place to sit except bed.

Dear Guests, Thank for your review, We appreciate your comment about the hairdryer, we will look at replacing it with a bigger one. We are not sure what you mean by weak power? Most of our guests don't like to stay in their bedrooms, they like to come out to the living room or dining room area and sit and talk and have a drink. There is also outdoor furniture outside all the bedrooms where guests can sit if they choose too!

A Home Away from Home

Posted 28 Jan 2020 on Hotels
The Eldonwood B&B is the perfect place to stay for a comfortable stay with a personal touch. Willie and Faye are absolute gems, friendly and personable with a genuine sense of caring for their guests. Their kind demeanor makes this a perfect stop for someone who enjoys a home-like experience while traveling. The room itself was very clean and comfortable, as was the bathroom. The grounds are beautiful and well kept... a perfect pairing with the beautiful weather. I look forward to the day we come back!
