Provider-sourced guest reviews.
Loved the location and friendly staff. Was great to have an oven to cook with too!
No hot-mits to get food out of the oven. Couches and bed were not comfy.
Good
Friendly staff, nice views. A good-sized milk bottle left for us, pool towels provided to use for free. Good sized rooms
Beautiful location, and nice facilities with everything you could need. Great for families.
Nothing comes to mind. Great value and enjoyable stay.
Neat, clean, & very wam villa, also close to the shops.
Location and lay out
Dated
The room was super clean, beds extremely comfortable, shower pressure okay. They had put the heater on so when we arrived it was lovely and warm. We were really impressed
Nothing
The location was on.
The notices from the staff seem passive aggressive. If they really want me to “leave the room as I found it” I’ll make sure to put the hair back on the bed sheets. You’re going to “fine” me for over dishes? Would also be helpful if they answered their after hours door bell.
The chalet was very clean and well kept .
It would have been good to have an outside line to hang togs and towels after having a swim at the hot pools .
Clean and tidy
Price for room. Old dated kitchen, toilet on a lean
Convenience
Couch felt dirty
Convenient location close enough to easily stroll to township.
Kitchen could do with an upgrade. The small couch could do with an upgrade to something more modern and comfortable.
Quiet and peaceful setting, beautiful view. Very clean and tidy. Friendly staff.
The shower was very, very weak, though the water was (eventually) nice and hot.
Great location, easy to access and short trip to down. The beds were comfy and the staff were friendly.
The room was very dated, several maintance issues such as one light was cellotaped to the wall, extensive water damange in the bathroom, the bathroom door was hanging off and the hot water was extremely low pressure. Itchy woolen blankets and quite dated electric blankets.
It was very cosy and comfortable
Units suited us, may come again if it’s a girls weekend and we don’t have our dog.
I didn’t like that this property is no longer dog friendly. That is one of the main reasons we have stayed in the past and will now have to find another a dog friendly motel for future bookings. I.e Bella Motels said they were dog friendly when I inquired for next time.
The space was good for our family
You couldnt use the oven as the dials had nothing on them so didn't know temperature. When flushed the Toilet it spilled all fetal matter onto the seat. There was no service we stayed a week no new towels or rubbish emptied etc.
Excellent location and easy to find
Clean tidy had everything we needed and was close to the town centre
N/A
Helpful,happy and friendly staff made checking in easy. Weather was wet and cold but rooms were toasty warm.
Friendly and accommodating staff
TV reception a bit patchy
We have stayed here several times as it is always clean and tidy and comfortable. The staff are lovely. It's a good location, not far from the shops and the hot pools.
Warm, homely, everything we needed. Loved it.
Nothing.
Comfortable and quiet. No pets was a bonus.
Spacious room, dated but perfectly adequate for our needs. Updated bathrooms and a great location.
Stayed here at least 6 x love the quiet vibes cosy atmosphere 2 mins to town .
Perfect location, friendly staff clean facility and room was spacious
Pillows needs replacement very thin and heat pump is quite noisy
Nice and warm unit, quiet and cozy.
Bed was too soft. TV didnt work, even the app they suggested.
Cosy chalet, great hosts, clean and tidy. Awesome shower pressure. Good value option.
Nothing to complain about. A slight five minute incline uphill from the village but not a big issue. Highly recommended and great value.
Convenient location and helpful to be able to book a single night stay for a weekend
Beds were older and soft so not as comfortable to sleep on. Marketing materials indicated that there were three beds in the second bedroom. The third bed was in the lounge which was fine for one night but would have been tricky for more nights.
Comfortable & clean
A little tired
Villas were quite nice views close to town.
Bedrooms are a bit cold.
Separate room for couple
The door slider going to the toilet could be better, it doesn't closed properly and the person who is in the kitchen or at the bed (in the living room) can see the toilet.
A whole house which felt cosy. The houses are not modern but very comfortable and we had everything we needed.
The views. Nice tidy comfortable warm rooms
Close to Hamner Springs central. Cute little chalet with cooking facilities. Great parking. Friendly greeting on arrival.
Just needs updating.
A great stay. All good.
Could have had some info on TV. Channels etc
La propriété, proximité avec le centre-ville et la montagne, tranquillité.
Les lits jumeaux peu confortables pour des adultes
Rooms with complete facilites
There is no heater inside the rooms.
Hanmer Springs is such a lovely place. Our chalet was excellent value for money and I would definitely recommend this place
No complaints at all.
Chalet number 12 was a pleasant surprise, bigger than expected, well appointed, very clean and had good outlook. Staff were friendly and welcoming.
Super easy, great location, perfectly warm and comfortable.
We had to pull the mattresses onto the floor to sleep as the beds were so bad they sagged in the middle so much it was impossible to sleep on them without wrecking our backs by morning.
Great location, excellent views. Friendly staff. Spacious chalet with both bath and shower, clean and tidy
A little dated but very clean and tidy
The most amazing views, the chalet contained everything needed and was comfortable, warm and spacious.
A great location to feel close to the town while also enjoying the scenery. Safe for young children and a lovely easy play area for the young ones to enjoy. Great heating in the property and space. Lovely customer service and a great selection of DVD’s to choose from. Thanks for having us.
Great value, quiet and tranquil with loads of parking.
The location of the property was good.
The configuration of the unit was poor. Needed to walk through the kitchen to the shower and toilet. The toilet is right beside the kitchen and affords little privacy. The wifi connection was poor, making TV connectivity very average. The beds were not particulrly cpmfortble. The aircon was finicky to use.
Great location, walking distance to town amenities. Perfect for a two person stay with two separate sleeping areas and space to move about.
Nothing really. Adequate for an overnight stop prior to the ferry
We found the TV to be a challenge to operate
