Their reception staff stayed awake until my son's arrival...at 2AM!!! Due to the reception staff's kindness, someone was on duty to greet my son and provide him with a lovely room and a late check-out. As a mother, I am extremely happy with how well staff at The Furlong Motel looked after my boy.

Kelly and her awesome team go the extra mile to ensure a home away from home experience — nothing is too much trouble. The grounds are kept immaculate, rooms are very tidy, clean and comfortable. Thank you Kelly and team for looking after the boys so well this milk season. Very best to you. Karl Royce-Bainbridge, Geraldine Transport.

Pleasantly surprised. The property offers excellent value and comfort. The room was spacious, clean, and clearly well-maintained. The air conditioning was brand new and the interior appeared recently renovated with no signs of mould or dampness. Housekeeping was carried out daily with good-quality towels provided. The bathroom was particularly impressive — very spacious and seemingly a brand-new installation. The room was well equipped with a water kettle, oven, toaster, and cutlery. I would happily recommend this property.

We had a wonderful stay at The Furlong. Beautiful, peaceful surroundings and a very comfortable, well-kept place. The team was welcoming and attentive, making the whole experience relaxing from start to finish. Highly recommend and would happily stay again.

This place really exceeded our expectations. Great location, on-site service station with plenty of supplies and friendly staff. The rooms were amazing, very clean and the shower had great pressure. Would highly recommend this little gem — amazing value for money.

We recently had the pleasure of staying at the Furlong and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. Our room was spacious, clean, and well-appointed. We were so impressed that we extended our stay for an additional night. We highly recommend Furlong for its excellent location, superb amenities, and exceptional service.

We had a last minute decision to stay in Hawera. Place was great — warm, cosy, clean and well presented. After a quick phone call, hosts were more than accommodating for our late arrival. Highly recommend the buffet dinner, staff were also accommodating and in no haste for us to enjoy our dinner.

Stayed in a refurbished room for two nights. Everything was spotlessly clean and comfortable — despite being close to the main road it was really quiet. The staff could not be more helpful. The food at the on-site buffet was incredible with something for everyone and at $36 was excellent value.

We enjoyed our stay at Furlong — everyone was helpful, welcoming, and the unit was of a high standard and clean. Even hot chocolate sachets were a bonus, plus extra blankets available for a chilly night. A great place to stay.

Thank you so much for a lovely stay. Myself and my grandson aged 2 enjoyed our stay — the owners were very helpful and their daughter would come and share chocolates with my moko. The room was comfortable, warm and clean. I loved the shower, it had great pressure. I will definitely return. Price was really good considering what you get.

Awesome place. Very neat and tidy. Great and prompt staff. Looks like the new owner has taken care of everything — would highly recommend to everyone. Easy to find, right on the highway. Will definitely visit again. Thanks for the hospitality.

Vikas Shokeen

Our one-night stay with family and friends was delightful. The rooms were spotless and cozy, equipped with all necessary amenities. The Furlong Team was incredibly helpful and attentive. Both check-in and check-out were straightforward and hassle-free. For the price we paid, it exceeded expectations.
