Set among 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.

Nice cabin with good facilities within walking distance of the centre of town. Staff were friendly and helpful. Having a carport was helpful in the rain. Room was clean, beds were comfortable.

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.

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
Good location, great views of the snowy mountains, cosy cabins providing everything you need, bunk beds were comfy, good 🚿 pressure, kitchen was perfect and dining/tv room. Unfortunately we were in the cabin by reception and dirty diesel vehicles kept stopping right outside our cabin with their vehicles running (noisy and polluting). This Top 10 is within walking distance to hot pools and everything in Hanmer Springs and we found it good value for money!
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
Great to be so close to everything.
Kids loved playing in the grounds and the morning breakfast! People complain on here about the range offered, but so few hotels offer breakfast anymore, it was great to have it! The kids loved the choice and the toast machine!
You can order/pay for real coffee at the bar too.
If you’re a large family or two groups, you could book joining outside cabins.
The staff were super friendly and offered a lot of advise about attractions and told us we could book cheaper activities if we said that we were staying here which was awesome. The room was lovely and was a very generous size for a hotel room. With lovely big bright bathrooms. I would highly recommend and I would be more than happy to stay here again. It is also very close to amenities
Fabulous views, underfloor heating magic, room service very good. Location close to centre of Hanmer Springs, walking distance to the thermal pools. Will sure come back to stay at this property. Could see the snow on the mountain tops. Frosty when we stayed but sunny days. Loved the autumn colours at this time of the year. Easy drive from Christchurch.
A very well appointed, spacious, clean holiday home. Was super comfortable and perfect for our large family. The location is beautiful and very quiet. The hosts are super accomodating and we so nice to take us out to see the Mares and Foals - who are even friendlier! We will definitely stay here again next time we are in Hanmer.
Beautiful lodge set on the hill with an amazing view of Hanmer village and basin. Our room was very comfortable and offered lovely views of the manicured gardens with the birds frequenting the birdhouses below our deck off our room. Breakfast was excellent and our hosts were very welcoming. We highly recommend 8 on Oregon!!
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)
I have stayed at Drifters Inn quite a few times now. I enjoy going to Hanmer Springs as I travel frequently to the South Island, having an office in Dunedin. This time I had my friend Laila with me and we both enjoyed staying at Drifters Inn.
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.
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.
The location was perfect for all the things that Hanmer Springs has to offer. The staff were amazing with suggestions for things to do. The kids had a lovely time choosing and watching movies borrowed from the reception.
Ideal location, perfect accommodation for a family visit to Hanmer. Will definitely stay here again next time we come to town. We stayed in a 2br apt, full kitchen facilities, nice private patio, all good.
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!!
Loved the kitchen and cooking facilities. Under floor heating was a bonus. Shower was amazing. Pillows were great…not hard like most motels. Bed was clean and warm. Sky channels were good
