About Us

RiverBed Motel is a family owned business consisting of two sisters, Korikori and Rongo, as well as Korikori’s Husband Michael Hawkins. Korikori and Rongo both grew up in Ngaruawahia and after 30 years of living and Working in Hamilton, have recently returned home.

This is a small, friendly motel with 10 ground-floor units, which catch the afternoon sun. We are close to State Highway 1 and easy to find. Because we are down a side street, all the noise and bustle is left behind. We are located near the shopping center of our little town, so everything is within walking distance: supermarket, banks, internet cafe, post office, churches and halls.
We are owner-operated, which means that we take care of everything including cleaning and maintenance.
