Amazing gem - stayed overnight. Amazing room ( deluxe): quality and attention to every detail. Beautiful comfortable bed and pillows, perfect shower, immaculately clean, spacious, and tastefully decorated... To top it off - exquisite dinner at onsite restaurant, definitely on par with top-rated restaurants if not better. One regret - did not stay long enough to try the spa! Friendly and delightful break in a long trip. It is an enthusiastic review, - but we stayed in overpriced motels and this is not it!

We loved our stay at Hara House. The attention to detail that the owner has put into everything is commendable. The staff were so friendly and if we needed anything the owner (Shannon) made it happen with no problem. The property has complimentry bicycles, which we loved taking around town. We spent our time on the tennis court as well. We wish Hara House all the very best. You will definitely be seeing us again, especially with the opening of your Day Spa.

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.

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!

To describe our stay at Hara House in only a few words is no easy task! Fron the moment we arrived at check in, we were greeted with nothing but warm and friendly vibes. All the staff made us feel immediately welcome, and service was always met with a genuine smile. For our entire stay, Hara House felt like our home away from home, and as joyful as it was to be here, it's equally as sad to have to leave! Without a doubt we will find ourselves wandering back to Hara House once again... Lots of love, C&K xo
