The reason for this trrrible review is this. We bookedvthis motel about 3 weeks prior. When we arrived to book in we wete informed that thetr was no hot water in the room. We were offered the opportunity to stay but we would have to have cold showers. What really annoyed us that no one had botjrred to contact us about it beforr we arrived. We declined the offer and booked another motel just down the road. This motel informed us that the Furlong motel had been without hot water for about 4 weeks. Absolutely terrible customer service by the Furlong motel and we will never be staying there again. The motel we stayed in...the Kiwi Court Motel was excellent and will be where we will stay in future.

Parking was easy, air conditioning was fine. Queen bed was old and uncomfortable. We reported a gas leak to the manager just outside our room. The adjacent room reported it twice to him and he didn't do anything about it. Another guest rang the fire brigade. We had no hot water the next morning.

Room was good but unfortunately the back door of unit did not have a lock. Therefore I complaint at reception. They promise to fix it. But did not fix. Therefore it was quite scary to sleep at night with an unlocked back door. I woke up several times at night and had sleepless two nights. Just can’t believe that a unit on ground floor door had no lock. How anyone can feel secure at night. I should get a full refund.

This property has potential. BUT, owner & staff need educating on how to operate better.
Our unit first unit was horrible, mould on ceiling in bathroom, not clean, stains on mattress. They did however change us to a slightly better unit, but this to needed a good clean, including mattress. Some basic operation skills would help incredibly. The premises have huge potential, there's just lack of knowledge on how to do so.

The room was a bit tired and the curtains needed a backing and the bed cover needed to be cleaned/replaced as when you pulled them back the underside was stained. The room was very clean, especially the bathroom. Even though it was on the main road there was no road noise.

A fair distance off the road. Rooms nice and comfortable.
Only one thing I didn’t like was , only access to unit from one door. Which was around the back . Wasn’t great when it was raining . Apart from that , very happy with my stay.

The staff were very helpful and the unit was clean and tidy. The shower was really good. Some of the gardens were a little untidy. Our bed was a little hard and the door locks were annoying as they automatically locked when you closed the door so you had to take the keys whenever you went outside.

Even though the rooms have recently been decorated, there was an infestation of ants.
Also, the smoke detector had been removed to decorate but not replaced.
NOTE : The location of the baseplate on the wall was inappropriate and would seriously delay detection.

Good place to stay!

Good place to stay on the edge of town. The room appears to have been refurbished very recently so everything was new.

The room was equipped with a large TV and excellent air conditioning.

All in all a good option if you need a motel in Hawera.

Needs to be updated

Motel is well located and is quiet. The units have good amenities they are in need of updating. We checked in at the kiosk that also has food to purchase. The attendant was very friendly but neglected to give us the wifi password. The area was closed early evening and we could not contact anyone for the password.
