Accomodation was luxurious. It was disappointing that we couldn’t dine at the restaurant & that room service wasn’t available until after 8pm. We ended up driving into Hanmer Springs for a meal & drinks. No soap in the shower.

The lodge is set on a low hill in the countryside a few kilometers outside Hanmer Springs and the views from the units are incredible. The suite itself was spacious, immaculately clean, and a gorgeous open layout. There is no kitchen and the on-site restaurant is only open at select times, so you'll need to venture into Hanmer Springs for some of your meals. The check-in was simple and smooth, and the Tharindu (Front Office Manager) was friendly and accommodating. Hanmer Springs itself is great for a two (maybe three) day stay, with hot and cold pools, so everything for the family. Hanmer Springs golf course is a challenging par 68 with a couple of memorable holes. All in all, if you're heading for this part of New Zealand Braemar Lodge is a sure bet. Request a room on the upper floor if you want the best view.

Lovely place to stay

Only stayed one night. Lovely facilities and a quiet location. It is a short drive to Hammer township. There is a restaurant onsite although we didn't eat there. Room was very comfortable, and clean.

We had an absolutely incredible stay at this hotel! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the breathtaking view—it was truly the highlight of our trip. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel special, offering warm and welcoming service throughout our stay. The thoughtful little touches really made the experience unforgettable, such as the adorable dog bed and bowl for our furry friend, and the romantic swan-shaped towels with rose petals scattered across the bed to celebrate our honeymoon. Every detail was perfect, and we couldn't have asked for a more memorable getaway. Highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking for an exceptional and personalized experience!
