Where to eat and stay in Matamata

34 cafés, restaurants, bars, hotels and motels in Matamata, Waikato — compiled from open data and public registers. Free to search, and no venue pays to appear.

We hold 34 venues in Matamata — 24 places to eat and 10 to stay. That makes it the 9th-largest of the 160 towns and suburbs we cover in Waikato, carrying 2% of the region's venues.

Of the places to eat, 38% are cafés against a national figure of 28%. Matamata is 10 points more café-heavy than the country as a whole, which usually points to daytime and weekend trade rather than an evening dining scene. The full split is 9 cafés, 6 restaurants, 6 takeaways, 1 bars and 2 pubs.

11 of the 24 eating places carry a cuisine tag. The most common are indian (2), pizza (2) and filipino (1). None of them is far out of line with the national picture; the mix here is broad rather than specialised.

On the practical detail: 2 publish opening hours (6%) and 1 are recorded as step-free. That trails the 23% national average — worth ringing ahead rather than trusting the listing.

For a bed, Matamata runs to 10 listings — 5 motels, 2 b&bs and guest houses, 1 hostels and 2 holiday parks and campgrounds. Motels dominate, at 50% of the town's accommodation.

Places of a similar size — Newtown (34), Mission Bay (34), Wesley (34) and Greymouth (35) — average 15% accommodation. Matamata runs at 29%, noticeably more, which is what a place that takes in visitors looks like.

All of this is derived from open data rather than collected from listings sites: OpenStreetMap for the venues, public registers for verification. No venue in Matamata yet carries the six recorded attributes needed for its own page, so the rest are listed here, because a page with only a name and a map pin on it would be worth nobody's time. A blank field means unrecorded, not absent. Nothing here is scraped from a commercial directory, no venue has paid to appear, and we publish no ratings or reviews of our own.
