Matador Motel — Hotel in North Island

We booked into this motel on a cold wet night after finding we couldn’t get into our family home till the next day. We were lucky there was a vacancy and were given a room with a Queen bed and single bed for my 89 year old mum and I. The room was just what we needed spacious clean had a tv with Netflix which we didn’t use but good to know. The shower had a good water flow lovely and hot seperate toilet from the shower and wash basin. The kitchen was well stocked and we made us both a cup of tea. The heater worked well and we were so grateful. The beds had lovely crisp sheets pillows were good height and we both had a good nights sleep.The wifi worked well and on reading the booklet provided about how to use the wifi we were very happy. This Motel is on the main road to Masterton and close to eating places and a super liquor store so it was handy to grab dinner across the road a few drinks couple of doors down so very handy to convenience stores also next door to a Mobil service station.A big thank you to the lovely owners sorry I forgot your names but mum and I had a lovely stay and would highly recommend your Motel to ...

Second time we have stayed at the Matador and we cannot speak more highly of this place as a motel choice if you are in the Wairarapa. Firstly, we choose the Matador because it is dog friendly and with our two dogs we are super delighted.

The price is competitive and reasonable for what you get. Its a short walk to a number of Carterton eateries and bars. If you plan on staying in or around Carterton then choose the Matador. You wont be...

If you are going to be staying anywhere in the area, it's worth taking that extra time to stay at the Matador Motel. There is a lovely couple that run it, and even in the chill of winter the place still looked tidy and lovely. Rooms are clean and tidy, have all that you need. They have swapped having sky in favour of Netflix and was nice to not have a data limit on their wifi. Something they do, that every acom should do - they have dimmable led bedside lamps with built in wireless charging pads for your phone!. I arrived at 530pm on a crispy 7 degree autumn day to them happy to see me and informing me that the light is on in my room, door unlocked and the heater going along with close places to have my dinner. Even tho I am here breifly they have made it such a joy to be here. Can...
