There is a lot going on in our town.
- In 2018, Matamata was named the ‘most hospitable’ town in our MPDC District.
- Matamata is located in a very central position to Tauranga / Rotorua / Cambridge / Hamilton / Te Aroha & Morrinsville.
- The lake at Karapiro, beaches at Mt Maunganui-Waihi Beach-Whangamata are not far away to visit; tramping in the Kaimai Ranges is good for a day’s tramp; the Hauraki Rail trail and the Waikato Expressway are on-going projects and they are not far away from being finished.
- We have many new subdivisions being developed in town to cater for the flows from the bigger cities coming to live in Matamata.
- Matamata has industry in racing, farming and more predominantly of late is tourism with Hobbiton being a well-known tourist spot now.
We are happy to show you around our town!
