Offering free Wi-Fi, and a guest lounge with a fireplace, Drifters Inn just 80 metres from the famous Hanmer Springs Thermal Reserve. It offers rooms with flat-screen satellite TV.

Drifters Inn Hanmer Springs is 2 minutes’ drive from Hanmer Springs Golf Course and Woodland Walk Recreation Reserve. Christchurch International Airport is 133 km away. We really enjoyed our stay here. It was warm and comfortable, a very inviting place to stay. It is maintained to a very high standard and exceptionally clean. The decor is lovely. Small things but having nice toiletries and thoughtful care put into the tea/coffee/drinks area in the room makes a difference. We had a room with a large bed and a sofa bed which was very well made up for our child. Both beds were very comfortable. A lovely lounge area with a fire in the evening. Kind and very helpful staff. Would definitely stay again.
