The rooms were great, would have loved a second double bed but didn't really matter. The heater was on and the cabin warm and dry. The staff were very friendly, every thing like toilets kitchen and washing facilities were close to our cabin which was a big plus for us.
Select Braemar Lodge & Spa is a luxurious lodge nestled in the foothills of the Southern Alps, close to the village of Hanmer Springs.

Didn’t eat at the restaurant at all as the menu was a bit average so ate in Hanmer before we arrived. We didn’t do breakfast either but only because we planned to eat elsewhere on our travels. It’s a great location to sit in a spa and soak up the stunning views but just needed a spa . Even during previous stays the spa and covers were tired and dated . This is one of the main selling points of the property so they should focus on updating these.

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.

Hot pools were amazing.

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
Beautiful chalets set on a hill just outside the town. We appreciated all the extra touches. The owner was very friendly. The newspaper was delivered each morning. The kitchen had an oven, 2 tea towels and a hand towel. What we really loved were the individual reading lights at each bed, rare to find in most motels. Each chalet had a washing line and there was a laundry area we could use. The water was hot, the WiFi worked well and we had great views and one amazing sunset. Highly recommend.
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.
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.
The place is opposite the Hanmer Springs water park. It’s is very handy for the shops and restaurants and also on the trail to the lookout point.
The room was nice and met our requirements. The room had dining and a breakout area near the tv, so plenty of space.
The staff were very friendly and offered us to use the hotel towels for the water park which was very kind as we had checked out.
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
We had a two bedroom unit with beautiful views of the hills from our outside seating area. The unit was very clean and well stocked with things you don’t often find in other motels e.g. torches and a first aid kit. The complimentary breakfast cereals,coffee, milk etc were replaced daily.
Only a short walk into the town. We didn’t use the car in the 3 nights we were there.
Stunning location overlooking Hanmer Range, situated five mins outside of Hanmer Springs in secluded and quiet location. Property has only three rooms and a cottage. It is also a wedding venue. There is no restaurant and no breakfast but cheese board and your own bottle of wine on arrival, included in the price. This place is real luxury, spotlessly clean and well run.
It was the second time we'd stayed here, and we chose it because it's just over the road from the thermal springs. The staff are lovely and the rooms are warm and comfortable. There's a very well equipped kitchen that guests can use, and a large guest lounge. Would definitely recommend for a stay in Hanmer Springs.
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)
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.
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.
The hotel is in the very center of town, close to all shops, restaurants, and only a few minutes walk from the spa pools. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel gardens were lovely and well maintained.
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
Our room was immaculate and had everything we needed for a short break away. I loved the fact that there was a mini kitchen in our room. Underfloor heating was a real luxury.
Beautiful historic building in the centre of Hanmer Springs. Gorgeous gardens around the Hotel. Walking distance to everything. Lovely friendly staff and comfy bed.
Comfy bed and good facilities in a really big room, really appreciated the microwave and kitchenware. Bed was comfy and location was great for Hanmer Springs
