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...
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 small village with plenty to do.
Nice small village with plenty to do. Many walking and bike trails, nice shops and the Thermal pools were great for all ages. Plenty to keep families amused.
The whole town had a nice vib.
The down side would have to be the cost of eating out at the cafes and restaurants.

Great thermal pools.
Great thermal pools. My wife booked had two sessions in the spa rooms - a facial and a massage - while she was doing that I ventured on the new waterslides (at the age of 71) - they are now included in your admission charge. As we we were staying for two nights, we booked a two day ticket to the pools, this is good value and it's great to be able to pop to the pools early in the morning when there are fewer people around.
One evening we had a good meal at the Hanmer Springs Hotel (where we stayed), the second night we tried the Spice Village Indian restaurant, which I thoroughly recommend.
Great lunch one day at the Powerhouse cafe - by far the best cafe in Hanmer in my opinion.
We also went on the quad bikes at Hanmer Attractons - we were able to choose a quad buggy which is a two-person vehicle. This is well organised, with an instructor/guide who puts the emphasis on safety.
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!
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 had a really great stay at Kakapo Lodge. The staff were very welcoming and helpful when I checked in and out. The room I stayed in was lovely and had everything I needed. The whole lodge was very clean and tidy and there was ample parking space at the lodge. The lodge was easy to find and right by the thermal pools, which was great. I would definitely stay there again when in Hanmer Springs.
A really comfortable place to stay in beautiful part of NZ. Hanmer Springs has a ski village feel with every building well cared for and in good condition. The apartment was a short walk to the Springs and easy access to walks in the local hills. This is a place that Kiwis go to relax. We had a great time with them.
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)
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.
We went to Hanmer Springs for the thermal pools and to sight see on the way, while there, and on the way back. Very fortunate there was a market on and a car show as well.
The accommodation was good, dated yes and basic, but suited us for two nights.
The hotel is in the center of town just a few minutes walk to the springs. The rooms are a good size and comfortable. The pool is a great place to unwind. The breakfast was more than adequate for us to start the day.
Good friendly, relaxed, family atmosphere. This is not a luxury site but it is comfortable and the owner makes an effort to ensure the kids experience a good old fashioned camping vibe.
Great value for money.
The room was lovely but unfortunately the hotel appears to have just been taken over by new owners . They don't even know what their guest book states and they are running it on the cheap
Very enjoyable stay. Room was extremely comfortable, wonderful breakfast spread, good location at a short drive/long walk into town. Would stay here again if traveling to Hanmer Springs.
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.
