Marchmont Gardens

Very comfortable, peaceful studio to stay in. Close to everything. Well suited our needs for a very pleasant stay in beautiful gardens

No problems.

A very comfortable and spacious suite with great garden

The owners' information notes the unit is called Mt Dunblane, referring to the local peak which the unit is facing. The official name (NZ Geographic Board) is actually Dumblane (just for the record) The sink access is so bad we almost left the final wash up to the owners

This property is an absolute gem. The unit was beautifully furnished, very spacious and a delightful place to stay. The owners had given much thought to those staying…… providing towels for the hot pools, a sweet treat to have on arrival with coffee, power boards on each side of the very comfortable bed to charge devices and more. As well as a beautiful unit there is a magnificent garden for guests to enjoy. I highly recommend Marchmont Gardens as a wonderful place to stay.

Absolutely nothing. Just wish we had stayed longer!!

One of our favourite places in our 6 week trip to the South Island. It is a luxurious and very well appointed unit with a huge comfortable bed. The views of Jan's beautiful alpine garden from the room with the distant mountains beyond were just fantastic. It's very quiet and away from the bustle of Hanmer village but only a pleasant 15 minute walk around the base of the golf course to bars and restaurants.

Everything was fantastic

Warm welcome, comfortable, clean and well equipped room. Lovely toiletries and great facilities. Gardens were great for walking and reflecting. Thank you for you thoughtful hospitality.

Nothing all good.

Stunning gardens, quiet, comfortable big bed and lovely host.

Nothing.

Beautiful gardens and well appointed unit.

The room was very spacious and well appointed. A lovely touch of home baking was in the room. The bonus was that it snowed overnight.

I felt it was expensive but we enjoyed our tranquil stay.

Everything! Easy check in, got shown everything, felt very welcomed and comfortable. We got little chocolates beside our beds and even some slice to enjoy!! Was so beautiful. The garden was peaceful and stunning to look at. Everything was clean, well looked after and comfortable! You can tell that. There’s passion and love put into this place.

No not at all. I couldn’t fault this property!

The peace and tranquility. It was an awesome escape. We slept so well and loved the gentle hum of bees as a background. Ideally located within 10mins walk of Hanmer centre and yet far enough away to avoid any touristy intrusion.... Oh and the views of the mountains were sooo nice.

Honestly there was nothing wrong, maybe a small bin could be added in the bathroom and a small table / shelf next to bbq but that is nit picking what is a great place to stay.

Lovely garden setting, friendly hosts, spacious and clean rooms. Good bathroom with toiletries provided. Private and secure with space to lock bikes up outside. Very quiet.

Hairdryer has seen better days.

Our room was spacious, exceptional and comfortable with all the thoughtful extras. Lovely bath products, chocolates beside the bed, homemade biscuits and freshly ground coffee. Then there’s the huge bed, big bathroom and patio to sit by the immaculate and stunning gardens which are a credit to them. We were delighted with everything including the super friendly hosts. Location is immediately near the golf course and bowling green and a short walk to the main street and restaurants. Will definitely stay again.

There was nothing we didn’t like.

Our cottage was clean and welcoming on arrival with extras such as fruit, chocolate, luxury soap & shampoo, body lotion and towels to use at the hot pools. The location was peaceful with only the sound of birdsong. We would happily recommend and return here again.

The warm welcome and generous touches a little something in the fridge some fruit and the most glorious garden in which you are welcome to explore. Peaceful serene and perfect.

It was clean, warm when we arrived. Views are great. We had some treats as we arrived we felt at home

Could hear noise next door

Great gardens and facilities.

Nothing

Very quiet and peaceful. Great facilities with extra touches. Comfortable bed. Wonderful host.

Spacious, perfectly clean which looked out onto an exquisite garden. The extra personal touches were greatly appreciated

I liked everything

Larger Smart TV

Everything was amazing, gorgeous and tranquil setting, beautiful unit, comfortable and with everything you need. Bathroom was big, comfortable shower with great pressure. Peaceful area and quiet, slept amazing.

What a delightful quiet oasis we found. A gorgeous garden to enjoy and really comfortable accommodation.... but it was the personal touches that were the icing on the cake...a delicious chocolate slice in the fridge, a fruit bowl, chocolates, games and DVDs. Thank you so much. We should have stayed longer... next time!

Marchmont Gardens is an almost utopian place for any couple visiting for a few days. The King room comfortably accommodates a dining table for 4, couch , TV table plus about 60 videos and occasional chair. The large double bed was bedecked with a regal bedspread with matching pillows . The spacious bathroom was adorned with modern fittings, heater on the wall and under floor tile heating. The quality of furnishings is akin to that found in superior hotels. The cake slices plus bowl of fruit and chocolates on the bedside tables was a nice touch. One can sit on patio chairs and admire the rock garden while hearing the tinkling of a fountain as water cascades into the fish pond. The garden is surrounded by bushes with a cherry tree in the center providing shade.Majestic mountains in the distance crown it all. The small town boasts a range of restaurants that will satisfy most palets . It also has a laundry with a website. Reviews are laudable. Google it

There is nothing to dislike provided one has wheels, a car perhaps

Attention to detail, lovely fresh fruit, had everything you would need for a short stay, freshly ground coffee. Jan was lovely and very helpful, gardens were a delight, beautiful scenery, quiet & safe.

The weather on the second day of our trip hahaha

Spacious clean unit in a beautiful garden setting. Warm and friendly hosts. We arrived on a freezing night with snow lightly falling to find heating in room and underfloor bathroom heating on. Also fresh fruit n cakes … highly recommend! Loved our two nights here.

The room was really spacious, comfortable and private. There were thoughtful touches such as chocolates by the beside, slices as another treat, ground coffee for the plunger and beach towels for the hot pools. The outlook onto the beautiful garden was also a bonus!

Being in a peaceful location away from the main town centre did mean that we needed to drive at night to get to a restaurant. This wasn't a huge issue, just something to bear in mind.

Beautiful garden setting, 1st class studio with kitchenette & BBQ facilities, heating flooring in bathroom, lovely kind touches of slice & chocolate.

Couldn’t fault it.

Jan works so hard on the beautiful, serene garden.

This place is magic, it is a hidden gem. Everything was perfect, the gardens, the views, the accommodation. This stay was so relaxing, we will be back, but for longer next time.

Beautiful gardens, spacious room. We appreciated the thoughtful touch of having towels available to use at the hot pools.

Lovely spot in a lovely garden.

perfection, quality, Comfort, privacy

Everything was perfect. Top notch accommodation with lovely little touches like fruit and slices left out for us. Mountain bikes available for free and a massive selection of DVDs to watch.

Honestly, nothing.

Marchmont Gardens was a lovely place to stay . it was so clean with lots of extra little touches that. made our stay perfect

A little far out of the centre but host told us of a short cut

Great quiet peaceful location. Modern, very clean, comfortable unit, loved the black and red. Good range of DVDs to watch. Nice big bed that I actually slept through the whole night in (I don't usually when I'm away from home, so was very suprised) Beautiful gardens. Fitting unit name as we were in Hanmer to walk up Mount Isobel. Hostess Jan was lovely and friendly. Hubby loved the baking. By far my favourite place I've ever stayed and felt so relaxed at. I recommend everyone stay at Marchmont Gardens

That we only had enough time to stay one night, hopefully next time will be at least 2

Loved both the interior and exterior. Interior had lots of little thoughtful extras. Fresh fruit, fruitcake, bathroom treats shampoo, conditioner, handcream. Beautiful furnishings spacious room. Gardens were beautiful. Will definitely be returning.

Not really anything I didn't like. Would have been a bonus to have had cooking facilities oven, stove top. Proximity to town. But I knew this before booking so wasn't an issue for me but to someone else might be.

the garden with thr goldfish were lovely

.

I really liked the peaceful, relaxing location, well-appointed room and the lovely garden and mountain views.

We thought the kitchenette sink could have been bigger for washing larger items.

the gardens were amazing . the service and the room was also amazing

nothing it was perfect

Not applicable

Everything excellent with Jan being very accommodating

We had a car but it would have otherwise but quite a walk into town - no problem for us. Room and gardens were amazing Small kitchen. Bathroom with nice touches. Towels provided to take to the pools in addition to showring towels. Would strongly recommend for anyone with a car. They allowed us to park not only our car but also the trailer we had with us. The gentleman was really friendly and helpful.

I cannot fault the place. Would not suggest without a car.

spacious, clean and very beautiful

nothing, it was perfect.

Garden & room were sensational & the best place I have stayed in New Zealand - 10 out of 10

absolutely nothing

private beautifully decorated very comfortable with lots of extras which made it a pleasant experience

nil

Jan was delightful and very accommodating with late check out request. Cute little touches like a dessert pastry, lots of tea bag options and milk in the fridge. Bed was very comfy and the garden was BEAUTIFUL. Views of snow capped mountains from our room once the clouds cleared up. Would definitely stay again.

Friendly host very quiet and relaxing beautiful gardens lovely personal touches

We should have taken our sky login and password with us.

Great relaxing garden atmosphere. Nice unexpected little welcoming items in unit.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Marchmont Gardens. It was close enough to town but also far enough away to feel a Little bit rural. The treats were much appreciated.

A beautiful self-contained unit with a very helpful host. Set in a gorgeous garden it was a pleasure to sit in

This is a superb place to stay in Hanmer Springs. The unit is spacious, clean and of very high quality. Jan was welcoming and helpful. This would be the accommodation we’ll want to stay in next time we come back.

The property is surrounded by well kept gardens - giving the chance to sit in the room and look out, or go and sit in the gardens and enjoy. The room is well equipped and comfortable. The walk into town is not a major issue. Definitely a place Id happily return to.

Lovely hosts. Spacious unit with everything you could want and need and more. Loved the welcome treats. Wonderful place to stay for peace and quiet. Highly reccomend.

A spacious place to stay with lovely touches. Close to the town centre but far enough away for peace and quiet. 😁

Absolutely fabulous place to unwind for a few days. So private and luxurious. Couldn't be faulted. Highly recommended. Incredible hosts that were so welcoming and available when required.

Lovely room, beautiful grounds, comfortable bed and lots of extras. Highly recommend.

Loved the views, the garden and the very pleasant 1.5km walk to town. The unit was generally comfortable - bed perhaps slightly firm and TV a bit small and distant but no big deal. Equipment and supplies were good and the place was spotless. Very good breakfast option. An excellent choice for a relaxing stay in Hanmer.

One of the nicest places we have stayed at in our road trip throughout the South Island. Peaceful beyond words, so much so we decided to stay an extra day. Fabulous host and the little treats were lovely. The gardens at Marchmont Gardens are a sight to behold, and lovingly cared for. We will recommend to friends, family and our overseas visitors. We ourselves will no doubt be returning.

Lovely stay in a beautiful garden

Exceptional gardens, close to town, wonderful hosts

Big spacious room,very comfortable bed our stay was very pleasant. The garden is spectacular and anyone who loves gardens this is a must see.Very inspiring

Marchmont is a little piece of paradise set amongst beautiful gardens. Very comfortable spotlessly clean accommodation with a kitchenette to self cater if you want. Jan is a wonderful host and it is well worthwhile taking the breakfast option to sample all her homemade goodies. We spent 5 nights and enjoyed biking, hiking and soaking in the Hanmer Springs hot pools. This would be the best place to stay in Hanmer Springs

This property is ideal for a couple get away - it is quiet and set in a beautiful garden. The amenities are excellent and the owners lovely. Highly recommend

The family only rents out 2 rooms. She keeps them in very good condition and very clean; great value for money... TV channels could be better, though.
