Sherwood Ranch Cottages - 405 Woodbank Road

Perfect size for our group of two families. Fire was on when we arrived and the owner is very good with communication.

The price is steep (although unfortunately that's pretty normal for Hanmer Springs)

Quiet place

Nothing much to say but we came at the wrong time. The weather was not good and there was a problem at the bridge and we were stuck in the house.

Clean, peaceful, we had everything we needed and clear instructions were given about the place. Communication was so efficient

Non whatsoever

Great tranquil location.

The feeling of home and the kids feeding the horses in the morning. Having the games to play with the kids. Being in the farm lands as we live out on the farm area back in Christchurch.

The little milks were curdled/off. That's about it. Everything else was great

Really appreciated the extra carrots in the fridge to feed the beautiful horses with, also loved the clean sheets and dishwasher + tv. Having plates, bowls, utensils, etc were very handy as well.

There were many dead insects (mainly flies) around the bathrooms, sinks, in cups/bowls, and window sills. Also would recommend getting a water filter so tap water can be drinkable. Fortunately my group of friends and I did bring water bottles but once they ran out we had no water to drink.

Great location, very scenic and warm

Clean, spacious, warm, close to town, wood supplied for the fire

Was wonderful, but a mirror in the bedroom would’ve been a help and a few extra pots and pans. Otherwise five stars.

Very clean and tidy well set up. Lovely views. Warm and cosy

I’m a repeat user. Great property

The weather was rubbish

Contacted owners re aircon not working but didn't receive a reply. Booked the property partly so that my grandson could feed the horses but they weren't in the adjacent field and we couldn't get to them.

Plenty of room, well equipped kitchen, comfy beds and proximity to the horses! Carrots in the fridge for feeding horses was a nice touch.

Bathrooms and toilet a bit tired.

Horse patting

Some fence with live wires but no warning signs

We really enjoyed our stay. The house was clean, tidy, and very well looked after. The host was absolutely lovely and incredibly thoughtful — we let him know we would be arriving late at night, and he kindly lit the fire in advance so the house was warm when we arrived. A beautiful extra touch was finding carrots in the fridge along with a lovely note explaining which horses we were welcome to feed and pat. The kids absolutely loved this and it made the stay even more special. We highly recommend this house and would happily stay again.

We loved the privacy and space it was beautiful

The whole stay was amazing, the warm fire, feeding the horses, the location was awesome. Most enjoyable Location was great too. I liked being out of town a little.

Great location, comfy accommodation, horses were a bonus, highly recommend.

Great property and had all the amenities

We were just getting ready to check out when a lady came to the property at 9:55 and told us it was time to leave as she needed to clean for the next guests. We still had five minutes left before check-out, but she seemed quite rude and annoyed with us, which made the experience a bit unpleasant.

The only problem in accessing the key was that Booking.com had sent a different code to me by email along with a number of other emails and I lost track of the helpful text sent by the owner. Also - question above. We did not specifically request a quiet room but we got it anyway! All 3 double rooms were quiet. My husband and I used the smallest of the 3 rooms but it was fine.

IEverything was great. We were unsure where to leave compost and recycling but left these in the kitchen for the owner to put in the appropriate place.

Awesome locations nice and quiet and great for the whole family

Nothing

Very quiet location. Far enough from town. Very relaxing.

Spacious and clean

Everything was great

Loved the ambience of the property. Loved how it was away from town center

Thin walls

Everything was fantastic well equipped for our family. Facilities were amazing, space was great, the kids loved the horses. We will definitely be back! Highly recommend!

What a peaceful quiet location. Loved the horses and mule in the paddock next to the Cottage.They were very friendly and loved pats. Beautiful big deck where you can sit and relax and enjoy the scenery.

Neatly furnished and spacious cabin short distance from Hanmer. Quiet neighbourhood wit some views of the surrounding mountains.

Would be nice to have a small table and a couple outdoor chairs on the massive sunny patio.

Super good space. Will book again. 30 second drive to hangar. 5 into Hanmer

Beautiful location

Nothing it was fantastic

Cleanliness

Being able to feed and pat the horses. The quietness but also the birds singing. Fire was lit and house was cozy

Lovely space, comfortable beds.

Great ranch style accommodation

Cottage was comfortable had everything we needed as a large family. Nice bedding and electric blankets for cold nights.

We could not find the BBQ - perhaps in the garage but there was no instructions to get it there and was not sure if we were allowed inside to fetch it as it was locked. Electric fence around the cottage had ne nervous as we had n 2 year old running around.
