Hanmer Springs hotellia

Plussat: Superb accommodation, very well equipped, fabulous view off our 2nd floor deck, and wonderful hosts

Plussat: Quiet location - close to restaurants, shops, cafes and pools. Easy bike riding distance to tracks.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Great to have, a compact kitchen & a balcony with hill views.

Miinukset: Lovely decor, close to the pools, but in a quiet green location with great hill vistas.

Plussat: Beautifully appointed accommodation in the heart of Hanmer. Owners couldn’t be more obliging with suggesting great options for restaurants and cafes around the area. Unit was spotless, large and modern with a beautifully appointed bathroom and kitchen. I highly recommend and will stay here again. Thank you.

Plussat: Sijainti, sisustus, parvekenäkymät! Aivan ihana paikka, otettiin extrayö ja tullaan uudestaan jos joskus vielä täällä.

Plussat: The staff were excellent and the room was very clean and comfortable. Best accommodation I have stayed in Hanmer.

Miinukset: Clean, comfortable

Plussat: Room was very nice, clean and tidy upon arrival, the owners are lovely welcoming people, they tell you everything you need to know about your room and the town you’re in from walking tracks to places to eat and what they serve to activities to enjoy whilst your in town. Highly recommend The St James!

Plussat: Great location. Amazing views make sure to ask for a room facing out. Spotless and great customer service.

Miinukset: Public Recycling bin, playground and cafe close so was noisy in the morning.

Plussat: Cleanness

Miinukset: We were very happy, clean bedroom and great location

Plussat: The amount of towels in the unit. Usually you would only get 2 but here there were 4. It was fabulous.. The little chocolates they left on the bed for you as a welcome, just wonderful.

Miinukset: We wanted to go for a bike ride, I would have thought the motel would have had that as an extra facility as they have a wonderful bike track in Hanmer. We had to hire a bike from another motel.

Plussat: Location, comfort, clean, good hosts !

Miinukset: Parking bit tight , probably size of my truck didn’t help

Plussat: loved this motel! the location was absolutely perfect!! great room, had everything we needed!! also huge thank you to the lady (so sorry can’t remember her name!!) who made an effort to tell us about Hanmer and the things we could do there!!! we appreciated your help so much and made the most of our stay doing lots of the actives you had mentioned!

Plussat: Friendly check in, right down to the fresh milk for our tea, great shower and comfortable bed

Plussat: Friendly and helpful staff

Plussat: Very friendly and hospitable hosts. Nice quiet location but close to shops. Very comfortable with super breakfast. Enjoyed the pre-dinner drinks meeting the others guests. Would go back again.

Plussat: Large room with private sunroom for breakfast. Lovely hosts. Great location.

Plussat: Gorgeous home like setting. Len and Maree were extremely welcoming. Room was perfectly sized and breakfast in the room the next morning was a nice touch. Our hosts offered to lend us towels for the thermal pools just across the road and also kindly kept our chiller bag cool for us until we left. Really lovely place

Plussat: Everything regarding our stay was perfect. Len & Maree are the consummate hosts, and could not have been any more hospitable. A fun relaxing stay in a gorgeous property.

Plussat: The house was beautiful and so close to the main area of town. Our room was perfect with an opening out onto the front lawn. No traffic noise at all. Our hosts invited us to have drinks on the porch and meet the other guests staying which was a lot of fun. Our breakfast which was served in our room was beautifully presented and set up for us. We had an amazing stay and would not hesitate to recommend to anyone to book and we would book again.

Plussat: Breakfast was great and so were the hosts. Lovely couple

Miinukset: Maybe take off the website that they have a spa pool if it isn't working. Maybe spray by the main door as it smells like cat pee a bit

Plussat: We liked everything, from the warm welcome to the delicious breakfast.

Plussat: The Whirlpool in the bathroom was a really nice touch, which we enjoyed. A nice little town to relax a few dass

Plussat: Large comfortable room, comfy beds, and very nice bathroom with spa bath. Well equipped kitchen and nice little seating area in the back garden. Very quiet location.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: good location

Miinukset: shower facilities are outdated lacking of personnal touch!

Plussat: location private off the main road nice and quiet

Miinukset: soffa was a bit uncomfortable after a while

Plussat: Quiet, spacious studio, full kitchen stove top microwave fridge. Lovely private courtyard with birdsong. Clean and spacious bathroom with spa and separate shower. Easy parking. Short walk to pools. Lot of walks with easy access from unit.

Plussat: The room was thoughtfully arranged, with beach towels, a kitchenette and a spa bath which was great. You’re off the Main Street of hanmer springs but not by far, and still it was so peacefully quiet it felt like we were the only people in town. Loved the late checkout too - was a blessing as we overslept and were running out the door when we checked and realised actually we could slow down have a bath and enjoy our last hour there.

Miinukset: It was a bit weird that we never saw anyone from the property - checkin was an email and a note on the door, and on checkout we had no idea what to do - leave the keys inside, in the door, try and find someone.. we probably wasted 10 minutes discussing what to do and decided to just leave the keys there and hope for the best.

Plussat: Didnt have the breakfast??

Miinukset: There was someone elses pube in the bathroom sink - haha!

Plussat: It was lovely and private, with nice outdoor private patio. Also loved the large spa bath.

Miinukset: Nothing was bad

Plussat: All of Hanmer

Plussat: Lovely clean, everything you could need. Service was brilliant - even providing us with our own bbq for our stay. Thank you we will be backB

Plussat: Love that it was family run, with the added personality of three child friendly dogs on site. Perfect location - walking distance to town attractions while maintaining a tranquil setting.

Plussat: The staff were so lovely and the room was amazing

Plussat: Location was fantastic, quiet but well positioned. Views were exceptional

Plussat: Service was wonderful, staff extremely wonderful. Friendly dogs around the property who love a pat. Would happily recommend to anyone and will definitely return.

Plussat: The owner was fantastic, we loved everything about the motel

Miinukset: Nothing everything was amazing thank you for a wonderful stay

Plussat: Rob and rhiana were so nice, friendly and went above and beyond to our request. They had three gorgeous dogs that were so friendly also. The facilities were fantastic , with the location being spot, perfect distance to walk into town only ten minutes and far enough out of town to enjoy the peace and quiet of the country side. Definitely recommend

Miinukset: We didn't have enough time there. Hoping to be back one day

Plussat: Rhian and Robert are most welcoming hosts. The units are arranged both for privacy and to allow appreciation of the peaceful gardens. Town centre is within walking distance, yet the location sits in a peaceful, rural feeling setting. The units themselves are tastefully presented and tidy. It would be easy to stay for an extended visit, as all the essentials are there. The spa tub was a welcome bonus. Thanks Robert and Rhian

Miinukset: No complaints at all.

Plussat: The location was ideal, close to hot pools and shops.

Miinukset: Bathroom ceiling needs to be sanded and repainted as paint is peeling.

Plussat: Located in the Centre, availability of kitchen to use, big lounge areas, books to borrow

Plussat: Everything

Plussat: Super clean, the owners and staff were helpful and friendly and I loved that each room had its own wreath on the door for Christmas. Drifters also had the best Christmas tree in New Zealand!!

Miinukset: Nothing at all. It was all great.

Plussat: Wonderful hosts and lovely rooms. We were travelling by bike and they were very accommodating!

Plussat: friendly helpful staff

Miinukset: all good

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The views were great staff friendly great location.

Miinukset: The couch was a little small and shower.

Plussat: Beautiful Lockwood chalet

Miinukset: Very little water pressure in shower

Plussat: Tidy and clean cottage right in Hanmer Springs. Although not very modernised it met all our expectations and we had a very comfortable two night stay here. Can thoroughly recommend, great value for money.

Plussat: Such a cute little cottage, with great views of the hills and only 5 mins walk from central Hanmer. Nice areas to sit in the sun around the cottage, very private, spotlessly clean. There’s nothing ‘flash’ about it and it has everything you need, which is very relaxing. Very friendly people run it. We recommend it for all ages. We’ll be back.

Miinukset: Nothing, all good.

Plussat: Loved the chalets

Miinukset: The wind at night

Plussat: Great accommodation for a large family. Chalet quiet, really comfortable and very well appointed. Location short walk from town center and hot springs. Hosts very friendly and service excellent. Wonderful view of mountains every morning. Watching kids play on trampoline from our room each morning was a highlight. Always hard finding accommodation for large family, there are 5 of us, but this was ideal. Will definitely stay again.

Plussat: Very good staff nice and friendly

Miinukset: Couldn’t fault anything about this place it’s in a nice quiet but convenient location, we received a warm and friendly welcome at reception, the chalet was spotless spacious and comfortable all at a price that competes well with any other option including Airbnb. Would def return if we ever get to visit Hanmer Springs again.

Plussat: Great accommodation, friendly and welcoming staff. Great location - handy to hot pools and good restaurants.

Plussat: Convenient location and quiet

Miinukset: Room quite compact although bathroom a good size and everything you needed

Plussat: The whole room was immaculate and clean

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: This hotel was really excellent in every way. The owner was very helpful he even gave me a jump on my car wouldn’t start. He was also handy with giving us advice for getting around and for things to see.

Miinukset: It’s in a great location easy walk to all of the attractions including Hot Springs stores and restaurants.

Plussat: Location was superb. Lovely clean unit, friendly staff and everything we needed was provided.

Miinukset: Pull out sofa bed a little uncomfortable

Plussat: This place is awesome... ended up going back because I liked it so much. Tristan does an amazing job and the place is very comfortable. Its close to everything you want to be near in Hanmer springs.

Miinukset: leaving.... I just wanted to stay forever!

Plussat: Hosting team was very friendly and helpful. Room was clean and cosy. Very well organised kitchen.

Plussat: There was a guitar to play

Plussat: Everything was clean, very warm welcome by the male owner, close to the hotsprings

Miinukset: Despite having put up signs that there should be no noise after 10pm, Yoko kind of rudely told us to be quiet as everybody else was apparently asleep at 9:30pm and also pointed at another sign saying no alcohol after 9pm. We were treated like we were totally inconsiderate of the other guests although we were just having a chat and a glass of wine and were not in any way loud or drunk AND it was not even 10!! So why would you put up such signs and still be disturbed by people talking BEFORE 10pm?! I don't get why one cannot have a glass of wine after 9pm. What is the point if you have to leave the common area at 10pm anyway.

Plussat: Staff very cordial, the kitchen and the location was perfect.

Miinukset: Bath room outside the dorm, a real pain in the neck to get up in the night to relieve yourself

Plussat: The host Yoko was very friendly and helpful. The location was excellent, close to town and also surrounded by beautiful hills. The outdoor area was very pleasant.

Miinukset: Even though I advised the hostel, on the day I arrived, that I would only be staying two nights instead of the three I had prepaid for, they refused to refund any of the third night (I left Hamner after two days anyway). My advice is to avoid prepaying with this hostel.

Plussat: I booked 1 room for 2 people, so I was pleased to see that it was a private room inside a hostel.

Plussat: It's close to the hot springs. 5mins walking distance.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: Proximity to town and hot springs gardens beautiful. Room comfortable. Very clean. Sweet cottage feel

Miinukset: Only thing we didnt like is no air conditioning for hot days. And NZ does get hot days.Wish it had a breakfast option but all in all we would definitely book it again. Hubby loved the brownies.

Plussat: Great location and wonderful amenities

Plussat: Beautiful rooms in a lovely location with spectacular gardens

Plussat: The slices of brownie in the room for us on arrival were lovely, thank you

Miinukset: Shower causes flooding of the bathroom!

Plussat: The home baking. Being close to the town and friendly owners

Miinukset: The shower had excellent pressure but the shower head needed to be more adjustable

Plussat: Pleasant if tad old fashioned. Nice home bake to greet you. Spacious room.

Miinukset: Decor bit tired.

Plussat: The unit was beautifully presented. A delightful view of the garden. The Spa bath was lovely. The homemade brownie on our arrival was a lovely touch. Very central. All in all we loved everything about our stay.

Plussat: I loved our room. Comfy. Cosy and so clean. Good location also. Walking distance to everything.

Plussat: The bed was very comfy and the bath/spa was a great touch!!

Miinukset: We enjoyed being by the road on the bottom floor by the balcony for the sun and fresh air however it was noisy at night time however nothing against the motel.

Plussat: Great location! A short walk to the village centre and pools, and yet far enough for a quiet night in. Immaculately clean. The motel follows environmentally friendly practices. Comfortable beds and pillows. Water pressure for shower was perfect. We also had a mini crisis after-hours (past 8.30pm) and yet the owner didn't hesitate and opened the office up to help us out... just genuine help, no extra/surprise charges. Kids loved having access to Netflix and unlimited WiFi. Thank you for a perfect and relaxing stay!!

Miinukset: Separate bath and toilet... but not a big deal.

Plussat: How big the room space is, and the nexflix access.

Miinukset: Balcony didnt have much privacy.

Plussat: Friendly staff, spacious rooms, comfy beds, great location, quiet.

Miinukset: Only thing was there wasn't anywhere to sit outside. Next time I would ask for a room with a wee balcony.

Plussat: Hosts great, garden exceptional, close to everything including golf course Lots of personal touches made it special

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Really well presented. Everything we needed. Jan was an excellent hostess

Miinukset: Loved everything

Plussat: Beautiful accommodation in a very quiet and stunning location. Our hosts made us very welcome and had thought of every small detail of comfort to make our stay special. We were only sorry to have to leave. Can thoroughly recommend staying at Marchmont Gardens.

Plussat: Homemade cookies, heated bathroom tiles, draws of DVD's, bedside chocolates, Moccona coffee and plenty of milk supplied for coffee's not the crappy little long-life ones. They went above and beyond for all the small details. and a beautiful location surrounded with gorgeous gardens. Would stay again!!

Miinukset: I wish I got the breakfast haha

Plussat: excellent host, place very clean and everything you needed was there. Towels for the pools was a great bonus as well. So handy to walk across to the hot pools. Then easy to go into shops and food. Great parking , we had x2 cars and plenty of room.

Miinukset: Nothing - perfect thank you

Plussat: Location was good walk to shops no problem. Had a kids play area. Was a quiet location.

Miinukset: Room was dated old style bathroom but was clean. Old and small tv.

Plussat: Lovely gardens and more like a home than a hotel, good facilities and friendly staff

Miinukset: Step onto balcony needs repair

Plussat: Great views. Good facilities and good location.

Miinukset: A few more kitchen items would have been useful like a salad bowl and sharp knife.

Plussat: Close to town, friendly staff, comfortable bed

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: was a nice laid out room with a good kitchen and nice size living area

Plussat: Great location and Jane was most helpful with advise for dinner and sights.

Plussat: Excellent facilities in room. Extremely clean and excellent service by staff. Very friendly staff who made our stay very enjoyable. Will stay there again

Plussat: Hanmer Springs was a lovely experience for us.

Miinukset: Everything was fine.

Plussat: Comfy bed, excellent shower, well equipped kitchenette. Located not far from Hanmer pools. By main road but motel is quiet and peaceful. Lovely views to mountains. Motel is immaculately clean. An off street carpark is available for each motel unit. There is a laundry and recycling station. This is one of the best motels I've stayed in, across Aotearoa.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The room was clean. Outdoor seating area was sunny.

Miinukset: The room was very bright, the back wall/door was frosted glass with no curtains. There was a very noisy fridge in the room as well as a loud ticking clock. The bed was hard and the internet was slow and kept dropping out. There were 2 choices when using the water, either hot or strong but not both. Did not replenish coffee tea or bathroom items after the first day.

Plussat: Beautiful room, view and location

Miinukset: The shower heads were broken and leaking No tooth paste in the rooms

Plussat: The location and the hot spa on our balcony and the fireplace.

Miinukset: Staff couldn't understand english and actually care about our concerns of security. Also no one answers the phone after hours if you have any dramas. You are pretty much left to cater and care for yourself. Very dissapointing for this level of accomodation.

Plussat: I liked this property, the views and staff were amazing. It did get quite noisy at night though and you could hear the people in the rooms either side.

Plussat: Large room

Miinukset: On arrival into the room, I was overwhelmed with how luxurious it seemed and excited to spend two nights here until I had a couple of minutes to myself. While having a spa bath, I noticed the toilet had not been cleaned and was visually dirty (ew). Once I got out of the bath my foot then fell through the drain cover which was not secure. I then tried to have a shower with both shower heads on, only one worked. I reported both the drain and shower to the reception lady who said someone would fix it in the morning.. isn’t this meant to be a 5 star hotel? Just before getting into bed I also noticed that the KING bed was not a king bed but instead it was TWO single beds pushed together. In the morning I had given my laundry to the same reception lady who had worked the night before and once that washing returned it was still damp and put back into the same dirty bags the washing was given to me in. Throughout the antics of the events the night before and morning of, the lady at reception could not give a refund but moved us to another room due to my complaints but had no other intention of fixing my disappointment of this meant-to-be 5 star hotel that is meant-to-be in working order. I requested a little compensation for my total disappointment and was disappointed once again with a bottle of wine (and no cheese platter which was actually meant to be with the wine). On the second morning we were given a complimentary breakfast which was also terrible, they forgot have the order and it did not taste as though it came from a 5 star hotel. If I was served this in a cafe I would have laughed and walked out. To give some credit to the reception lady, she did off us an additional night free of charge at the hotel but I honestly couldn’t think of anything worse and I already have travel plans! She did not go out on any sort of limb to help us and would not let us speak to the manager.

Plussat: Was very pleasantly surprised by the restaurant. The food was outstanding and reasonably priced. As was the wine.
