It was in a very convenient location with easy access to both Hāwera and Northern towns. Clean and tidy facilities. It was handy having a convenience store on the premises.

Matatini 2025
Excellent everything. 50 minute drive to New Plymouth each day so early start and late return. Great to return home each night to a lovely home. Had everything we needed to relax after a hard day at "the office" - Matatini.

My great-grandparents and grandparents are buried in Hawera Cemetery. It would be good to have some way of locating their graves. I found some but not all. iSite staff suggested contacting the City Council but that was not an option on a Saturday.
