Villa Walton

Lovely lovely home in the gorgeous Waikato countryside, serene and restful. We were treated like royalty, and it was the perfect place for an intimate family wedding. Thank you so much for a memorable stay!

AMAZING HOTEL !!!Beautiful garden and comfortable bedrooms paying attention to EVERY single detail. Everything extremly clean.Charming owners. Also super good and delicious breakfastWe have been in different hotels in Australia and NZ during the last weeks and this has been THE BEST with difference !It is a pity that we are to stay only one night !Really good hotel. Highly recommended !

We had a wonderful stay. Diane was the perfect hostess and made us feel extremely welcome and comfortable.Villa Walton is a restored upmarket Villa in a beautiful leafy setting surrounded by working Dairy Farms. The views are lovely and the rooms and beds really are comfy with lovely large modern ensuites.The food genuinely was amazing especially the delicious home cooked muffins!Thanks Diane for making our stay so special. I can highly recommend Villa Walton to anyone wanting a superb New Zealand experience.

Haven't had the full experience ourselves yet as we only visited. But it was lovely to have met the owners and were given a lovely tour and history of the place all the same. It's beautiful what this couple have achieved in such a short time and I look forward to recommending it all the same. The B&B is a 1904 charming villa with all the modern accents, every bedroom has its own ensuite and there's a cottage too. This particular occasion it became a small intimate wedding venue indoor/outdoor options. The immaculate grounds making perfect backdrops for photos.

The Villa Walton! Where to begin! Neil and Sue, wow! The accommodation is breathtaking, the gardens are beautiful but it actually comes down to you two (Ted and Jimmy top of course). You guys make this place absolutely incredible, the details, the food, the thoughtfulness, just everything. It’s perfect!Tara and I had such a special and beautiful stay, getting wedding ready and being able to share that with family and friends. We ALL loved The Villa Walton. We truly couldn’t imagine being anywhere else! If you are looking for a place to stay and unwind, get wedding ready, or just indulge.. look no further The Villa Walton is the dream!Neil and Sue, thank you for everything! We truly couldn’t be happier! (I’ll add photos as soon as I have them)You guys are the best!!

Our stay was short but unforgettable at Villa Walton thanks to the love and attention to the details from Sue and Neil. Incredibly beautiful cottage in such an amazing environment as the Matamata area is. We arrived quite late but the check in happened in a quite expedite way thanks to the kindness and flexibility of our hosts, who had everything ready for us and gave us some restaurant recommendations in Matamata. The cottage is like a dream and so the room. Clean, beautiful, warm…We felt entirely at home. The early breakfast (first breakfast, for hobbits like us), handmade by Sue was simply amazing and put us in the right energy level and mood to visit Hobbiton afterwards and keep at our best almost till dinner!. But, above all, it’s the kindness and love distilled by Sue and Neil which made our short stay experience at Villa Walton memorable. Thanks dear hosts for your warmth of heart and professionalism.For those planning to visit New Zealand, a stay at Villa Walton should be a must.Thanks so much and looking forward to visiting you again soon!.

Just stayed over at this amazing 5 star B&B in Matamata region of NZ north island and cannot recommend it highly enough. Neil and Sue are the perfect hosts as well as being top chefs. Hubby and I felt very pampered so if you are looking for a piece of paradise tucked away in a tranquil, beautifully appointed period cottage with amazing gardens the Villa Walton is it!! Thanks Neil and Sue.

My husband and I stayed two nights during our honeymoon in NZ. Villa Walton was a highlight due to the friendliness and welcoming nature of the owners; the beautiful gardens; and the delicious cooked breakfasts. One of our favourite dinners during our trip was at Villa Walton; for $65 pp we had a lovely 2-course dinner of lamb rack and roast vegetables, and an amazing chocolate/raspberry brownie. We've never had such perfectly cooked lamb, we really recommend it!Another couple there at the same time noted that they regretted only staying one night, and we were glad we had booked two nights.

From the moment we arrived at Villa Walton we felt at home. The hosts gave us such a warm and friendly welcome, they really go out of their way to make your stay feel special. They cooked us a really delicious, healthy and fresh meal for dinner. The house itself is beautifully decorated and luxurious. It was lovely to wake up to birds singing and the beautiful views of the countryside. The breakfast was also 5 star. We didn't want to leave! Would highly recommend this lovely place to anyone, it's incredible!
