The bathroom was so clean, tidy & dry. The room was so clean & bed was so comfy. The receptionist lady was so helpful & very informative with good big beautiful smile. It was also a Dog friendly place, big spaces for dog to run around.

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.

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
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!
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
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.
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.
The room was clean and we liked it had all the bits and bobs we could need which other motels often forget (iron, corkscrew etc). The managers/owners were very friendly and accommodating too. Great location too; within walking distance of the pools, bars, restaurants and walks.
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.
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.
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.
service was fast and efficient. check in and check out was fast. parking right in front of hotel with many food options right around the hotel and you can walk to the main hanmer hot springs attraction.
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!!
I have stayed in a lot of different motels in Hanmer and this is by far my favorite. Fantastic location, wonderful staff and great value for money. This will be my motel of choice from now on!
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
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.
