This is a really nice, cosy motel in Hanmer. We stayed in autumn and it was getting chilly outside, but nice and toasty inside. There are towels provided for visits to the hot springs - a must in this town - and the rooms are nice and comfortable. We had a studio room which is plenty roomy for two.

This is the second time we've stayed here. Clean, tidy, spacious, well equipped, free wifi, friendly staff. My only small issue is the lack of noise insulation from the room above, especially the plumbing. I knew when they used the toilet, the shower, the spa bath.

Stayed with another couple in a two bedroom unit. Spacious and warm. Great location, easy walking to pools, town and restaurants.

This hotel is amazing. Our hosts thought of everything you could possibly need. They were so welcoming even down to guest umbrellas sitting at our front door as it was showering. The rooms were impeccably clean and well equipped. Lots of lovely little extras to make our stay special. The motel is very central to the the pools and restaurants.... More

Picked this place whilst driving through the alpine pass at night and picked it based solely on reviews from trip advisor. The people who were temporarily looking after the apartments while the owners were away couldnt have been more helpful. This 2 bedroom apartment was warm, inviting and comfortable with a groovey little kitchen. Ive never stayed in such a... More

Due to a flight delay we didn't arrive until 11pm. Upon calling earlier we were advised that our room would be unlocked and the lights on. As we pulled up in the cold, misty mountain air with the smell of wood smoke in the air we were delighted to find that not only had the lights been turned on but... More

This was one of the best motels we stayed in during our tour of New Zealand. The people could not have been more welcoming and helpful, the location was quiet but very close to the centre and the place itself was of outstanding quality. We particularly liked the fact that there were dressing gowns, towels to take out to go... More

A fabulous spot, clean and modern - well set out for a family of 4. Friendly helpful staff. The only draw-back was an issue with the hot water, which they were working on when we left. Would highly recommend it for all.
