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.

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!

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.

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.

We had a relaxed 2 night stay. The staff were personable and friendly, especially the wait staff in the restaurant. The food was excellent and we loved course we tried.
The rooms were clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.
We had a hit of tennis and used the free bikes which was a lot of fun.
Thanks for having us!
