Classy modern motel
Modern motel with a touch of class that is incredibly clean, comfortable and warm. Communication was great and it was easy to arrange a late check in and early check out. Wish we could've stayed longer, and will definitely stay again when we're in the area!
Any motel looking to refurb should look at Hara Hotel as a beautiful example of what can be done!

A beautiful place to stay.

Everything about Hara House is awesome. Rooms are modern and very comfortable. Facilities are awesome - Pepperberry food is as good as anywhere I’ve ever eaten. Spa was relaxing. Use of bikes and tennis for free was an added bonus. Definitely stay here if you can get a booking!

Overrated and overpriced for what it is which is a refurbished motel.
All geared around eating at their restaurant. All the staff were very friendly and bed real comfy.
You wouldn’t be walking into town.

This was the perfect spot for our long weekend getaway. The room was impeccably clean and uniquely designed. Parking was a breeze, and we loved the complimentary bike hire, which allowed us to explore the nearby bike trail. The staff were lovely and accommodating, and having a beautiful pool right outside our room was a wonderful bonus.
