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.
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.
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 🙂
Carrie and the rest of the staff were wonderful. I had a series of unfortunate hiccups delaying my arrival and they were very nice to accommodate me. The actual lodge is very very clean and inviting. The bed was comfortable with enough layers if you are cold (or too hot). The showers were always clean and the kitchen had all utensils you could need to cook with. The location was amazing as well. About a 4 minute walk into town and right next to the Hanmer Springs Spa and Pools!
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!
it had so much more than most motels rooms. there was a cooktop and microwave, sink and plenty of cutlery and crockery. The owners were incredibly friendly and helpful. With the rooms opening to outside with French doors we didn’t feel locked away in a motel room. There was a number of nice little touches with chocolates and bathroom products. would highly recommend the Settlers
A wonderful place to stay with a beautiful panoramic view of Hanmer Springs from the balcony of our room. We could not have had any friendlier welcome from our hosts. It is just a short walk to the central part of town. Breakfast was typical New Zealand with fruits, cereals, toast and coffee or tea.
Oakview was amazing. We have travelled to different places around the world and this was right up with the best. Everything has be thought of. Luxury fittings, dark curtains, comfortable bed…the list could go on. Close enough to walk to all Hanmer Springs has to offer. We will be back for sure.
Rooms and amenities were clean. Plenty of room within cabins for a young family. Amenities were well setup and all facilities available. Even had proper hot showers that were free!! - most other holiday parks we experienced on this trip were charging for shower use.
Very private, awesome host and hostess, made you feel at home, very comfortable bedroom and ensuite fulfilling all our needs. Very generous, yummy breakfast,parking availability and a nice quiet location. Highly recommend this B&B to anyone visiting Hanmer Springs
Everything. Have stayed in Hanmer Springs about 4 times now. All accommodation has been good, but this is way ahead. Won’t book anywhere else now. Room & facilities top class. Staff exceptionally polite, friendly and helpful. We will be back.
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.
The hotel is very well situated with lovely grounds. The staff were all friendly & helpful; the room well appointed & very clean/well presented on arrival. The restaurant provided one excellent meal in a pleasant environment.
Space for the kids to play. Well equipped kitchen. Great selection of movies to watch when it was wet. Cabins had good set out with space for bags and gear and plenty of hooks to hang towels and jackets.
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.
