Our Hosts: YWAM Matamata
YWAM Matamata is based in a beautiful rural setting, 7 km from Matamata, with the Kaimai Ranges as a backdrop in the Waikato region on New Zealand. The picturesque Waihou River runs alongside the base. For Lord of the Rings fans we are about 12km away from Hobbiton Movie Set. There are supermarkets, cafes, bookshops, restaurants, bakeries, pharmacies and departmental stores, as well as a library, swimming pool and playground.
What kind of clothing should we bring?
Winter -Warm clothing is needed for our winter, as we don't have central heating. It is recommended that you layer your clothes in NZ, for example long sleeve tops under warm jerseys or jackets and thermal wear or singlets. NZ weather can change during a day so bring suitable clothing for all weather conditions such as a rain coat.
Summer- Bring hats, sandals and modest summer clothing as we are a family friendly base and want to set an example for our young people. But you will also need extra layers for nights as temperatures can drop also.
Please note, NZ has very high levels of UV rays and sun burn is very common and can cause skin cancer. The health department advises people in summer months [October to April approximately] to wear 30+SPF sun screens and wear a hat between 10 am and 4 pm. This is especially important for fair-skinned people and those not used to being outdoors.
Do you have internet access on site?
Yes, we have a wireless internet connection. You can buy Internet vouchers at the Reception Office. We do however have limited cell phone reception due to our location near the Kaimai mountain range.
Accommodation
We have motel style units for our families and older students and cabins for young singles.
Linen (including towels, bedding and pillows), will be provided for you, so you do not need to bring these.
