Nice spacious unit with everything you need. The TV was small and just free to air stations but I believe they are in the middle of upgrading TVs to all room. The motel apparently has spectacular views to Mt Taranaki but unfortunately there was too much fog and cloud during my visit to see it. Would definitely stay again if visiting Hawera

Room was clean but hot, no air-conditioning. Room could benefit from screens on doors and windows as lots of mosquitos and midges. Doors needed to be open to let breeze through. Service was excellent and friendly. Have stayed previously where there were horses which maintained the grounds. Hopefully the new owners will allow other animals to graze on the grass to bring it back to lush green

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. Karen and Steve were excellent hosts. We were travelling by bus and the motel is located a fair walk from town so Karen took time out from her busy day to pick us up from
the bus stop and to take us to the grocery store which we greatly appreciated. She also got us in contact with the local taxi service who also were very helpful and friendly.

The setting of the motel is beautiful, surrounded by trees in blossom, and with a view of Mt. Taranaki. The room was very spacious, with a well-equipped kitchen. A back door opened onto a deck, with comfortable wooden deck chairs, overlooking a beautiful big lawn surrounded by trees. I would have liked blinds over both the front and the back doors, as these let in a lot of light at night.

We liked the rural aspect and the privacy of each unit looking out into the paddocks where the horses were housed. We did consider the crockery to be a bit on the petite side particularly the coffee mugs and the cereal bowls. Also the venetial blind in the bathroom is a bit on the tatty side. They would be the only negatives in an otherwise very comfortable stay. We would use this motel again but would bring our own bowls and mugs.

All the farm animals were wonderful my kid had a blast petting them the room was clean and huge! The room was also very bright and very cheerful. But beware the owner is kind of funny. She made a really snide comment about controlling my child and was a little bit on the nosy side. I’m not sure if she knew I could hear her snide comment or not she made it as she was walking out of the room after being nosy.
