Set amongst mature trees and surrounded by the Southern Alps, this beautifully restored local landmark has been transformed into a resort with outdoor swimming pool, tennis and petanque courts.

The free breakfast was nice and the beds were comfy, the building has character and is spacious. The lady on reception was smiley and friendly.
Set in Hanmer Springs, Oakview offers 5-star accommodation with a garden. The hotel offers both free WiFi and free private parking.

Beautifully presented Apartment.
High end everything.
Very tastefully decorated.

Kakapo Lodge is comfortable and practical with shared bathroom and kitchen spaces. The whole complex is clean, tidy, warm and equipped with all the necessary amenities one needs for a great stay. We particularly enjoyed the fire being lit in the common areas as we stayed whilst it was getting colder, and the curtains being closed early evening in all the common areas. The owner/staff we interacted with were always super friendly, available when needed and professional. I highly recommend Kakapo Lodge.

A charming Swiss chalet-like hostel full of character, warmth, and nice touches for guests. Tristan is a natural at hospitality, with an innate sense of guest need. Warm, cosy rooms, a log fire, comfy beds and armchairs, a well equipped kitchen, a place radiating backpacker hospitality at its best. Highly recommended. Will remember it well.

I grew up in Christchurch but now live in Melbourne so it was nice to take my partner there. Our family spent many stays in Hanmer growing up in the 80's.
It is nice to see that Hanmer still has the same charm and feel of Swiss Alps.
There is still mini golf; Hanmer Hotel and the walk up conical hill- all the things I remember.
It has grown and I see a lot more tourism but the Alpine resort feel especially in winter is still there....

A quiet Canterbury town with a restorative atmosphere.
A quiet Canterbury town with a restorative atmosphere. It has has not yet succumbed to big business high rise accomodation and over- commercialism, as seen in Wanake and Queenstown. It’s only 90 mins drive from Christchurch and its international airport. It’s cool in both senses. In a secluded valley off the main highway. Thoroughly recommend it for visitors to New Zealand. You can sit in hot pools, go mountain biking or walking. And there’s a farm animal zoo close by for the children. The adventurous can go bungee jumping. There’s skiing close by. And 4-wheel drives shirt and long.

Hanmer Springs is a great break away.
Hanmer Springs is a great break away. For most people, the Hot Pools, nice accommodation and restaurants are the main attractions. Our only negative is that as we drive a Battery Electric Vehicle, there is no fast charger in Hanmer Springs. There are two slow chargers at the pools, and we made use of one of those while we had a swim. The nearest fast charger is at Culverden and there's always a queue in our experience.

The Hot Pools are a great drawcard, always popular.
The Hot Pools are a great drawcard, always popular. Some great restaurants, cafes and bars. Lots of trees, provide welcome shade in summer. Plenty of walking and cycling tracks. Water sports - rafting, jet boats, fishing etc. Craft market on a Saturday. Always a busy place for locals and tourists, so book early.

This was one of the best properties on our travels.
Loved the location. Everything we needed. Even towels for the hot pools. Cabin warm and very comfortable. I could have stayed longer.
Hot pools were amazing.
I would love to come back.

The Mountain View’s were beautiful and the walking track varied from easy to difficult. The town was very pleasant, clean and well taken care of. The pools were wonderful and especially enjoyed being able to swim laps in the big pool which was never crowded. Overall it was a very pleasant place for a vacation
Beautiful motel rooms with everything you could need. The team was very welcoming on arrival and we were lucky enough to be upgraded to a very big family room. Though we didn't even use the 2 bedrooms as we were a couple it was very spacious and we will definitely book this room next time we are in Hanmer with a bigger group as it would be perfect. The views from the master bed were stunning! Sadly we were only staying for one night - we wished we could have stayed longer. Will definitely be back, thank you team Scenic Views!
The suites are very large and really comfortable with everything you could need. The bathrooms are fabulous and include a spa bath, which we didn't use. c.7km out of Hanmer Springs you are a bit 'captive' for dinner but great location if you want to relax and explore the area. Dinner was good and not too pricey - we had the lamb shank and parmesan encrusted salmon. The hotel was quiet when we stayed so there were not many staff members evident. We only stayed one night so didn't make use of the spa etc.
WOW!!!! We had stayed in some pretty amazing motels over our week away but then we got to the Settlers Motel and we were blown away by the apartment we had. It was clean, beautiful and even little chocolates placed nicely on our beds against some small pinecones.. Just added to the beauty of the place...
The hosts were AMAZING, so welcoming and accommodating.
I recommend this motel and look forward to another stay there one day.
Stunning location overlooking Hanmer Range, situated five mins outside of Hanmer Springs in secluded and quiet location. Property has only three rooms and a cottage. It is also a wedding venue. There is no restaurant and no breakfast but cheese board and your own bottle of wine on arrival, included in the price. This place is real luxury, spotlessly clean and well run.
We booked a cabin for 3 nights. Us and our 2yr old and 4yr old. The cabin was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. It has a lovely little deck area then onto a lawn which was perfect for the children. A playground in the main camping area also fab. Toilets and showers really close. Everything was clean and the owners are lovely. We had such a great time.
It has the best location in Hanmer Springs, on a walking distance to the thermal pools, cafes and the shops. The hotel building is surrounded by an exquisite garden and has an easy access parking. The room we got had a beautiful patio looking at the garden. The room rate included a great breakfast served in the stylish dining room overlooking the garden.
We were warmly greeted by Dave and immediately given a tour of the beautiful room, balcony and common spaces. You could tell they wanted this to be the best stay of our trip to New Zealand. The bed was wonderful, the oversized bathroom and luxury shower were great, the balcony and its commanding view over the entire town and valley were spectacular.
Drifters Inn was the perfect place to stay in Hanmer Springs. It was situated right in the centre of the action and across the road from the Hot Springs.
Everything was perfect and the kitchen was immaculately clean with a comfortable dining and sitting room for self catering. We highly recommend Drifters Inn.
The room size and appointment, the spa bath on the deck and in the bathroom, most comfortable bed, great views and quietness, good breakfast. It takes 10 min by car to the Thermal pools at Hanmer Springs, and we needed a car anyway to get to the lodge from the airport (it's about 200 km to the nearest airport)
We had a lovely 3 bedroom apartment for 4 adults and 2 children under 5. We were on the ground floor which was perfect. Large kitchen. Short stroll into the village for coffee. Location was just right as was our stay for 3 nights in Hanmer Springs. Owner and staff were incredibly helpful towards our needs.
Peaceful stay in Hanmer, very close to the forest park / sculpture walk. Would be great for kids / families as there is a trampoline/play amenities. The accommodation met all our needs & the Easter eggs were a nice touch.
Out of all the motels we stayed at in Hanmer I would rate this one of the best! It's a lovely motel with the bathroom and kitchen quite separate from the bedroom and it was very convenient having the oven to cook in.
