Set amongst mature trees and surrounded by the Southern Alps, this beautifully restored local landmark has been transformed into a resort with outdoor swimming pool, tennis and petanque courts.

Didn’t eat at the restaurant at all as the menu was a bit average so ate in Hanmer before we arrived. We didn’t do breakfast either but only because we planned to eat elsewhere on our travels. It’s a great location to sit in a spa and soak up the stunning views but just needed a spa . Even during previous stays the spa and covers were tired and dated . This is one of the main selling points of the property so they should focus on updating these.
Just 300 metres from the Hanmer Springs Thermal Pools, Kakapo Lodge boasts a guest lounge with a log fireplace and a large communal kitchen and dining area.

I grew up in Christchurch but now live in Melbourne so it was nice to take my partner there. Our family spent many stays in Hanmer growing up in the 80's.
It is nice to see that Hanmer still has the same charm and feel of Swiss Alps.
There is still mini golf; Hanmer Hotel and the walk up conical hill- all the things I remember.
It has grown and I see a lot more tourism but the Alpine resort feel especially in winter is still there....

A quiet Canterbury town with a restorative atmosphere.
A quiet Canterbury town with a restorative atmosphere. It has has not yet succumbed to big business high rise accomodation and over- commercialism, as seen in Wanake and Queenstown. It’s only 90 mins drive from Christchurch and its international airport. It’s cool in both senses. In a secluded valley off the main highway. Thoroughly recommend it for visitors to New Zealand. You can sit in hot pools, go mountain biking or walking. And there’s a farm animal zoo close by for the children. The adventurous can go bungee jumping. There’s skiing close by. And 4-wheel drives shirt and long.

Hanmer Springs is a great break away.
Hanmer Springs is a great break away. For most people, the Hot Pools, nice accommodation and restaurants are the main attractions. Our only negative is that as we drive a Battery Electric Vehicle, there is no fast charger in Hanmer Springs. There are two slow chargers at the pools, and we made use of one of those while we had a swim. The nearest fast charger is at Culverden and there's always a queue in our experience.

The Hot Pools are a great drawcard, always popular.
The Hot Pools are a great drawcard, always popular. Some great restaurants, cafes and bars. Lots of trees, provide welcome shade in summer. Plenty of walking and cycling tracks. Water sports - rafting, jet boats, fishing etc. Craft market on a Saturday. Always a busy place for locals and tourists, so book early.

The Mountain View’s were beautiful and the walking track varied from easy to difficult. The town was very pleasant, clean and well taken care of. The pools were wonderful and especially enjoyed being able to swim laps in the big pool which was never crowded. Overall it was a very pleasant place for a vacation
Good location, great views of the snowy mountains, cosy cabins providing everything you need, bunk beds were comfy, good 🚿 pressure, kitchen was perfect and dining/tv room. Unfortunately we were in the cabin by reception and dirty diesel vehicles kept stopping right outside our cabin with their vehicles running (noisy and polluting). This Top 10 is within walking distance to hot pools and everything in Hanmer Springs and we found it good value for money!
The place is opposite the Hanmer Springs water park. It’s is very handy for the shops and restaurants and also on the trail to the lookout point.
The room was nice and met our requirements. The room had dining and a breakout area near the tv, so plenty of space.
The staff were very friendly and offered us to use the hotel towels for the water park which was very kind as we had checked out.
A well organised room with excellent bedding, bathroom and tea/coffee facilities. The supply of large towels for our use over at the hot-pools, the use of the kitchen, dining room and lounge with fireplace, was very convenient and pleasing. Would recommend to any one wanting accommodation in Hanmer Springs, being located opposite the pools and close to all eating facilities
Lovely location on the edge of town with beautiful views especially at sunset. We were upgraded which was very much appreciated. Everything spotlessly clean, looked brand new. Emma the owner manager very helpful & welcoming. Hanmer Springs is lovely, recommend the walk up Conical Hill in the morning, & the thermal baths in the afternoon.
We had a lovely 3 bedroom apartment for 4 adults and 2 children under 5. We were on the ground floor which was perfect. Large kitchen. Short stroll into the village for coffee. Location was just right as was our stay for 3 nights in Hanmer Springs. Owner and staff were incredibly helpful towards our needs.
A wonderful place to stay with a beautiful panoramic view of Hanmer Springs from the balcony of our room. We could not have had any friendlier welcome from our hosts. It is just a short walk to the central part of town. Breakfast was typical New Zealand with fruits, cereals, toast and coffee or tea.
Very private, awesome host and hostess, made you feel at home, very comfortable bedroom and ensuite fulfilling all our needs. Very generous, yummy breakfast,parking availability and a nice quiet location. Highly recommend this B&B to anyone visiting Hanmer Springs
This was a great tidy and clean unit that was perfect for our quick stay in Hanmer. It was close to the main street and hot pools and had plenty of parking. The staff was lovely, and it was great having a little kitchen to use.
Lovely heritage hotel in the heart of Hanmer. The beds were so comfortable. Had a jug and tea and coffee facilities plus a small fridge. Basic continental breakfast was ok and appreciated. View from the window was amazing.
The location was perfect for all the things that Hanmer Springs has to offer. The staff were amazing with suggestions for things to do. The kids had a lovely time choosing and watching movies borrowed from the reception.
Absolutely stunning room and bathroom, just pure luxury. Will definitely re visit. We had terrible weather but the hotel was fantastic and having a lovely spa outside was just heaven.
Lovely character heritage home just a 5 minute walk to the hot pools. We had one of the cottages, very clean and quiet. Lovely hostess! Wish we had stayed longer.
