Friendly staff, the 2-bedroom family unit was perfect for what we needed. It was warm, quiet, clean; my bed was so comfortable! The shower pressure was great. Had a hot plate for us to make dinner on, space for 4 people to be in easily, and although around the corner from the Springs - the walk was easy, quick and because it's nestled that little bit back from the main road it was extra quiet! They gave us towels to use for the pools. Honestly one of the best motels I've stayed at - great for families in that 2 bedroom unit!

Amazing and friendly staff. Our go-to place from now on in Hanmer. Even offered us fresh towels for the hot pools after we had checked out and would wash them once dropped back at their laundry. 5 stars all around.

The whole experience from checking in to leaving was everything and more, great staff and accommodation the room had everything and nothing was not thought of. We were welcomed by Brit who was charming - the room had all we needed and was decorated beautifully - great bed, comfy sofa and arm chair - lovely spa bath and a little outside area to sit in privately. Couldn’t have asked for more. There was even complimentary laundry washing and drying machines. Thank you for a great stay

Very convenient. Across the street from the thermal pools and just off the main drag. There are nice towels available to use att the pool as well. The one problem is that it says it has netflix but the wifi does not have enough bandwidth to support streaming. It was buffering all the time.

The motel is located close to the pools and is in a quiet location. We booked a room with a separate king sized bedroom and balcony. The room was good and had pretty much everything you would want to be able to cook except a dishwasher. Very close to the forest walks - I would recommend the sculpture walk. There are great food options in Hanmer and several bars.

Really loved our spa room which had a complete kitchen as well as the spa bathtub and an outside balcony. Bed was comfortable and the location was superb just a five minute walk to the thermal pools and a similar distance to the Hanmer Forest entrance on Scarborough Terrace. Highly recommended. The nicest room we have had in New Zealand so far.

Two weeks into our holiday, this is the loveliest place we have stayed so far. The owners were both so friendly and helpful, and the room was gorgeous. Lots of very thoughtful little touches. It was nice to be just off the main road and nice and quiet, but still very easy walk to everything. I can recommend this accomodation without hesitation, and if I am lucky enough to come back to Hanmer springs again I would stay here again in a heartbeat.
