The location was superb with an easy walk to Hanmer shops, restaurants and hot pools. The lodge was very clean and warm with a lovely sunny deck and fire roaring in the reception area. The staff were very friendly and went out of their way to give us a car park to ensure security for our mountain bikes.

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.

The Mountain View’s were beautiful and the walking track...
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

Hanmer Springs is lovely.
Hanmer Springs is lovely. This motel overpriced, cheap and nasty. False advertising using "premium".
Hanmer is popular but don't resort to booking at this motel if you find others booked out.
Beautiful chalets set on a hill just outside the town. We appreciated all the extra touches. The owner was very friendly. The newspaper was delivered each morning. The kitchen had an oven, 2 tea towels and a hand towel. What we really loved were the individual reading lights at each bed, rare to find in most motels. Each chalet had a washing line and there was a laundry area we could use. The water was hot, the WiFi worked well and we had great views and one amazing sunset. Highly recommend.
I booked the retreat for my partners birthday. We read the reviews after booking with non refundable and thought to ourselves ohh no what are we in for anyhow our stay was nothing like what we had read. We were very happy with our choice in stay. I'm a clean freak and after the reading the reviews, nervous was an under statement.... it wasn't immaculate but overall was 9/10. I hope this review helps others when looking for accommodation in Hanmer. We booked the spa bath room! Thankyou 🙂
Dave and Jill are marvellous hosts - extremely welcoming, friendly and helpful. They go out of their way to help you get the most from your stay in Hanmer with their broad local knowledge. The views from the lodge are captivating and the gardens add to the beauty and restfulness of the location overlooking the village. The accommodation is luxurious with great attention to detail and comfort. An essential choice for a memorable experience in Hanmer Springs.
Nice location about a five minute drive from the spa area. There are forest walks in the preserve across the street from the holiday park that lead to town (about a twenty minute walk). This is an older property, but the owners have put a lot of effort into the rooms and the shared toilets are clean with plenty of hot water. The kitchenette in our room was well-equiped. There was a shared larger kitchen and a laundry, neither of which we used.
The host, Tristan, was super friendly. He welcomes us, walked us to the property, explained to us where was what, and also a bit about Hanmer and Kaikoura. It was a very good experience. The house itself was nice and 'cosy' with separate rooms, and a good sized kitchen. There was even a dryer which was fantastic. Five minutes walk from the springs which was fantastic!
Massive sized television which had Netflix! Loved it!
The size of the suites are very spacious and so is the ensuite. The bathrooms were designed with luxury in mind and have plenty of space for a couple to use together.
The location to Hanmer Springs is good and the views from the room is absolutely beautiful.
The buffet breakfast is very good and if this wasn't included in our room rate I would have scored much lower on price versus value.
We had a two bedroom unit with beautiful views of the hills from our outside seating area. The unit was very clean and well stocked with things you don’t often find in other motels e.g. torches and a first aid kit. The complimentary breakfast cereals,coffee, milk etc were replaced daily.
Only a short walk into the town. We didn’t use the car in the 3 nights we were there.
After 5 weeks touring NZ, the location great. The owner if this motel has done his
homework. Good shower adequate cooking facilities with excellent electric frying pan which is sufficient to do most things. Big plus: individual bedside lights and hooks to hang things, sorely missing from other motels
The reception manager personally escorted me to our room, which was a nice touch, and offered us towels to use at the Hanmer Spa.
Parking spaces were wide.
Once inside we were greeted by chocolates laid against a pinecone arrangement on the bed, and tasteful décor.
This was a great tidy and clean unit that was perfect for our quick stay in Hanmer. It was close to the main street and hot pools and had plenty of parking. The staff was lovely, and it was great having a little kitchen to use.
Lovely heritage hotel in the heart of Hanmer. The beds were so comfortable. Had a jug and tea and coffee facilities plus a small fridge. Basic continental breakfast was ok and appreciated. View from the window was amazing.
Superb all round. Terrific friendly staff. And ... a rarity amongst NZ motels ... good coffee along with proper milk - so simple, yet so rare. Room was warmed in anticipation of our late arrival back from the pools.
What a pleasant surprise. We though staying in the forest camp cabins would be roughing it but found that it more than was satisfactory. We made use of the communal kitchen which had everything we needed.
It was our 1st time staying here, it is a beautiful camp site, with great cabins and camping facilities. The management is fantastic and so very friendly and welcoming. Will definitely be back!!
Our room was immaculate and had everything we needed for a short break away. I loved the fact that there was a mini kitchen in our room. Underfloor heating was a real luxury.
Comfy bed and good facilities in a really big room, really appreciated the microwave and kitchenware. Bed was comfy and location was great for Hanmer Springs
