We go to New Plymouth every 4 years or so and our last 3 visits we have stayed at the Dawson and wouldn't consider anywhere else why. It is centrally located easy walk to bars, restaurants, seaside, shopping, attractions. Clean we have stayed in many motels and my wife is always impressed with the cleaning and the staff who do it. Courtesy bikes with a great ride along the waterfront. Always friendly helpful service. We look forward to our next stay.

Central - easy walking distance to shops, restaurants, Govett-Brewster Gallery. One block back from the waterfront. Quiet location. Breakfast available but we didn’t try it, menu looked good and reasonably priced. Great that there were no strong smells from cleaning/deodorizing products that are overpowering in some commercial accommodation. Just smelled clean and fresh.

If you are looking for a great location close to the Main Street and handy to many attractions with hosts that go out of their way to ensure your stay is perfect, then look no further. The Dawson Motels are spotless. Our room was spacious and included a spa to relax in after a busy day. Bikes are available to use so we biked to the Te Rewa Rewa Bridge along the seaside track which runs close to the motels. We can thoroughly recommend. Thank you Warren and Carol
