A museum piece of Kiwi motels from the 1980s
This motel is a preserved relic of what motels were like in NZ during my first visits ca. 1987-1990. Very misleading photos. Next to busy road, pretty rough condition. Single person was working that day and was clearly overwhelmed by it. Furniture was in pretty bad shape. Cannot see the TV from the queen bed. Was way overpriced too, but this was likely due to Te Matatini going on in New Plymounth, every room in Hawera and NP was taken

Handy base close to hospital
Good value motel very close to the hospital. Stayed in an apartment which was very clean and tidy with good facilities. It's located on a busy roundabout so there's a bit of road noise to contend with - earplugs are supplied!

Such a shame the road noise was loud all night and I did not sleep well because of it. This was the only mark down for the property. Realises something was off when I saw the packs of earplugs in the dresser.
Otherwise it was a very nice place.
