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 "

Top Ararata Hotel Reviews

Kerry Lane Motel

Kerry Lane Motel

10/10 Excellent
"Nice spacious unit with everything you need. The TV was small and just free to air stations but I believe they are in the middle of upgrading TVs to all room. The motel apparently has spectacular views to Mt Taranaki but unfortunately there was too much fog and cloud during my visit to see it. Would definitely stay again if visiting Hawera"

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Ararata?
The best area to stay in Ararata, Taranaki, is typically in the nearby larger towns like Hāwera or Eltham, as Ararata itself is a small rural community without dedicated tourist accommodations.

Hāwera is the larger of the two and offers a good range of facilities for travelers. It's known for the iconic Hāwera Water Tower, which provides panoramic views of the region, including Mount Taranaki. The town center along High Street features local shops, cafes, and dining options. This area is convenient for families as it provides easy access to amenities and is a central point for exploring the wider Taranaki region.

For travelers seeking a quieter, more local experience, Eltham is a suitable option. This smaller town is known for its dairy industry and has a relaxed pace. It offers fewer accommodation choices but provides a genuine small-town New Zealand feel.
When is the best time to go to Ararata?
The best time to go to Ararata, Taranaki, New Zealand, is during the summer months, from December to February, for the warmest weather and most daylight hours.

During this period, the days are long and generally sunny, with average temperatures ranging from 20-25°C (68-77°F). This is ideal for outdoor activities like exploring the Taranaki Coastal Walkway or hiking in Egmont National Park. Travelers looking to enjoy the region's natural beauty will find these months offer the best conditions.

For those interested in cultural events and local festivals, the shoulder seasons of spring (September to November) and autumn (March to May) also offer pleasant weather and fewer crowds.
