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.
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.
I looked at a lot of motels in the area and chose this one because the seating area had a proper lounge suite, not the awful vinyl covered tub chairs. So our evenings were very comfortable. The unit was lovely and warm on our arrival and lies well to the sun. The shower has great water pressure and the kitchen area had all we needed. The bed was very warm and comfortable. A short walk to great food and the wonderful hot pools.
I've stayed in many motels thought-out nz and this was exceptional accommodation it was the cleanest I've seen beds were so comfortable it was quiet, lovely people who run it and so close to restaurants and town .Information was given about things to do in hamner on arrival .parking was excellent as well i think i can say this accommodation was classed as luxury well worth the money .we will be back
I always wanted to stay at this hotel since we came here when I was a lot younger and was disappointed hearing that it had being refurbished. Luckily the refurbishment progress managed to keep the old style look I remember it having, even keeping the fireplaces !! One of the best night's sleep I have had for a long time. Friendly staff and would love to revisit in the future.
Lovely modern and comfortable accommodation in park-like grounds. The owners are super nice people who make you feel at home and will go out of their way to be helpful. I liked it so much that I came back for a few more nights. I've stayed in 3 other Hanmer Springs hotels/motels previously and this is my favourite. Also the best value for money.
Lovely location on the edge of town with beautiful views especially at sunset. We were upgraded which was very much appreciated. Everything spotlessly clean, looked brand new. Emma the owner manager very helpful & welcoming. Hanmer Springs is lovely, recommend the walk up Conical Hill in the morning, & the thermal baths in the afternoon.
Loved the huge rooms, with magnificent views looking towards Hanmer Springs and mountains.
Very private outlook from our room.
Very comfortable bed.
Lovely large enclosed shower.
Not that we used them but indoor and outdoor spa’s and big open fire place add to luxury feel.
This place is so special - one of the most relaxing and well tended motels we have stayed in NZ, would stay here again in a heart beat. Our cottage overlooked the golf course, all facilities are well appointed and thought out and spotlessly clean and the gardens are immaculate.
Great place surrounded by forest, reminded me of school trips as a kid! Cabins are basic but cheap, kitchens are spacious and very well equipped. Many showers and toilets, you never need to wait. Close to walking tracks. We had a great time.
Our room was so spacious and relaxing, it exceeded our expectations. We loved our outdoor spa tub which had the most perfect views over towards Hanmer and the mountains beyond. The meals at the restaurant were incredible too.
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.
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.
Very comfortable, clean, spacious, accommodation with spa bath to relax in and stunning mountain views. Delicious food served at hotel restaurant for both breakfast and dinner.
I love the Hanmer Springs hotel. I think it's suffering from Covid downturn as it was very quiet. The rooms are comfortable and clean and the garden setting is beautiful.
Lovely character heritage home just a 5 minute walk to the hot pools. We had one of the cottages, very clean and quiet. Lovely hostess! Wish we had stayed longer.
