This is a beautiful Bed and Breakfast with guests brought together each night to meet and say hello over a glass of wine . A truly lovely touch. The breakfasts are brought to your own room each morning ( you have a small suite with table etc.. as well as bed/s). The owners have been here a very long time... More

We stayed for a night in one of the self contained garden suits and it was super. The room was large with half the room dedicated to a seating area, offering a TV with sky. There was a fridge, coffee making facilities and a huge variety of speciality teas. The robes were black and fleecy and electric blankets on the... More

We enjoyed Cheltenham House for one night with 2 teenage children. Whilst we share a room, it was VERY spacious with lovely touches like robes in the wardrobe. Our bathroom facilities weren't en suite style but, as there weren't any other guests in our area, it wasn't a problem to pop on a robe and head the few steps down... More

We stayed with friends in the cabins behind the main house while in NZ for the Rugby World Cup in Sept 2011. They were beautifully decorated and very warm and cosy. Len's breakfasts were unsurpassed anywhere in New Zealand (and that is saying something). We loved the fireside wine at nightfall, chatting to other guests and hearing what we should... More

We had a wonderful stay at Cheltenham House in Hanmer Springs. Hosts Len and Maree were extremely welcoming and helpful. Evening drinks were great (and generous, too!). Breakfast was pre-selected from a menu the evening before, which meant there was greater choice in breakfast than typically offered in bed and breakfasts. Located within very easy walking distance to the spas,... More

Hanmer Springs is a wonderful town with a nice spa (though children should be more segregated from the adult pools) and there's no better place to stay than Cheltenham House. Our room (Clarence) was spacious with plenty of storage and seating, as well as a fireplace. Our bathroom across the hall was large and well-equipped. The outdoor hot tub is... More

We stayed for three nights at Cheltenham House during our month in NZ for the rugby world cup, and can thoroughly recommend it as an excellent place to stay. Hanmer Springs is in itself an interesting area, and the thermal pools are a must for any visitor. Len and Maree are welcoming hosts who are commited to providing a very... More

Len and Maree are the best hosts ever! Made our stay here feel absolutely too short. Each morning, Maree would bring breakfast right to our room, which was always impeccably clean. Got to explore their family rooms, play with the dog, have wine with the hosts each evening and even got to play on their piano. The location is also... More

My husband and I recently stayed for a couple of nights at Cheltenham House in Hanmer Springs. We couldn't recommend this property more highly. The standard of the room and the hospitality provided by Len and Maree (our hosts) were wonderful. We stayed in the Morse suite which has a king size bed and a sunroom attached in which a... More
