Rooms smelt amazing when we arrived very clean and the vibe at Hara House was really nice. The pool and spa were great, and there’s a hidden walking track along the river just behind the property which was a bonus. Bit of a shame the tiki bar wasn’t open because cocktails by the pool would’ve been perfect, but overall we had a great stay and would definitely stay again.

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!

The only thing I was unhappy with were the pillows, they were very high and no low pillows anywhere to use. I had a sore neck in the morning after sleeping with a towel folded under my head. I did suggest to reception that they have at least 1 low pillow in the wardrobe. I also would have liked a microwave to heat a wheat pack for a sore hip
