The Rotoma–Matahi boat ramp is located at Matahi Spit Scenic Reserve on the shores of Lake Rotomā, accessible via State Highway 30 roughly 30 minutes from Rotorua.

The ramp sits within a reserve that fronts one of the clearest lakes in the Central North Island — a 10. 8 km² body of water known for its white sand beaches. The reserve is a popular base for waterskiing, jet-skiing, kayaking, windsurfing, and swimming.

A lagoon behind the spit provides habitat for local wildlife. Facilities at the reserve include the boat ramp, a picnic area, and public toilets. Dogs are permitted on a leash.
