Hey bumblebee - one of the girls at work grew up there, so asked her thoughts...below was her reply - hope this helps!!

Well I had a very enjoyable time there and I would definitely be happy to move back and bring a family up there. There are a lot of horsey people there so quite a bit of money in the place.

Primary School wise I would probably say Matamata Primary would be the top public Primary school followed by Firth Primary School. Otherwise another really good one is Hinuera School which is a couple of minute drive out of town (there is a bus out there daily).

Matamata Intermediate & College were great and always had a good academic record and the numerous sports stars of course!!

I would probably avoid;
-George St
-Western St
-Elizabeth St
-Central & Barnard st’s
-Waharoa


Nice Areas;
-Tawari St
-Findlater St
-Rata St
-Sheffield St/Station Rd (nice family areas-close to schools)
-Eldonwood (pretty fancypants!)

Oh my dad works in Matamata, and My dh went to intermediate and High school there. I know heaps of people that went to the high school, Casey Williams from teh silver ferns, um Grant Mcquoid who plays for waikato or BOP rugby, I think.

My best friend went to the Christian school there and got kicked out for hitting another girl. lol she was like 5 at the time and is the sweetest person you'd never thought she'd do that.

Matamata is a lovely place to drive through. DS1s Dad lives there and he goes for the holidays, and loves it. It's got that small town feel to it. ]]> Thu, 03 Feb 2011 21:19:52 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37853&PID=1258592&title=matamata#1258592 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37853&PID=1258414&title=matamata#1258414 Author: chunkymonkey
