Haruru Motels

I booked this place first and then found the reviews on here which then made me a bit nervous about what our stay was going to be like. But after staying here I wish I never read the negative comments as I found we had nothing to worry about. This place is absolutely fine and you get what you pay for. There are definitely better places to stay at but you will be charged for these types of places obviously. The room we stayed in was actually good and was modern (modern TV, air con, carpet, beds). It was clean and tidy and looked like the photos that I had seen online. The room had a private bathroom, tv, air con/heater unit, kettle, mugs, tea, coffee, sugar, small dining table/chairs and the beds. The beds were clean and comfy. Wifi worked well from our room. We didn't use the communal bathroom or kitchen but had a look, and these rooms were basic, but clean and tidy. Nice deck and close to Haruru Falls. Plenty of parking and friendly staff. I would have to say the gardens/outside areas could do with more work/maintenance but overall this place was great and good value for money. You get what you pay for and it depends on your priorities when it comes to accommodation. I just like a place to be clean, tidy, friendly and look like the images online/no false advertising and this place ticked all those boxes!

We spent just one night here but really wish we could’ve stayed longer. The bed was amazing - it was firm and supportive and felt like my own bed back home 👍🏻 (no the run-of-the-mill squishy topper). The unit was immaculately clean and attractively decorated. The sparkling pool was too tempting to miss so had a wonderful swim after our day’s activities. Despite being near the main road, it was surprisingly quiet. We’d definitely recommend this as a great place to stay over.

Wish I could give it zero, genuinley don’t know how these new owners have any good reviews. Can Honeslty say it’s the worst site we have been on after travelling the north and south islands extensively. Bathrooms filthy dirty no hooks on doors etc. also we’re not cleaned once during the stay and it was obvious (wet tissues near sinks for duration, tissues on floor and waste in toilets) water was only luke warm not “hot” camp kitchen was beyond words, nothing worked and just plain filthy. Could of dealt with this as we could cook in our own van however Jenny and Murray are the rudest people we had the misfortune of coming across. Attitude on the phone and when checking in. Murray constantly checking what everyone’s doing and left us feeling quite uncomfortable. Made my girlfriend feel especially uncomfortable and came across very creepy. Threatened us for using the wrong bin on accident and spoke to my girlfriend (aged 25) like only a bully would! He humiliated us Infront of other campers trying to enjoy there stay. He Made us feel uncomfortable the whole stay as we didn’t want to be around him. He spoke down to us the whole time whether it was because we were young and he felt he had “power” over us or he is just genuinley not a nice guy. We wanted to leave however he told us “good luck” when asked if we could have a refund and leave. We are not the type to complain at all as we are very open minded however this was our last night in NZ and we felt it had been completely ruined and was such a shame to end our trip on such a bad note. They are both in the wrong industry if they can’t speak to people with respect. The whole bin issue could of been handled so well however Murray chose to be aggressive, entering our van and swearing at my girlfriend. We were both very shook up for the rest of our stay and couldn’t wait to leave unfortunately. I can only hope that this review helps other young couples or infact any other guests steer clear of this site until new management takes over. I am sure management are going to reply to this so I look forward to there response
