I highly recommend Avon Motel in Hawera. The rooms are pristine and comfortable. Great showers, divine sheets on the beds and easy open communication to ensure all our needs were met. Location is also wonderful.
Dont look beyond staying here.

Room and facilities were great. Host was very rude to us but very happy and chatty with others that were older than us.
Location and value for money but will be better if host wasn’t rude and short with people. Felt like she was very judging towards me and my friend when we gave her nothing but respect
