Wow just that! Elegant, sophisticated, warm, peaceful and welcoming. Hara House is perfect in every way. Shannon was absolutely amazing and so warm and welcoming. The detail in every aspect of this luxurious accomodation is stunning. You can see how much thought and detail has been put into the style, feel, look and comfort.

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!

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.

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.
