Glad we didn’t pay full-price. Whilst a lovely location, unfortunately it is looking old, tired and in need for a refurbishment. Spa baths were tired, showers need upgrading. Lovely we could take our dog and they supplied a bed and water bowl.

Our key card didn’t work, and when we finally got into the room, it was completely unclean—towels on the floor, bed used, etc. We asked for a new room before heading to dinner and received one, but there was no compensation beyond an apology. Nice place, but it needs better management and more staff.

Our stay at Braemar Lodge was definitely a highlight on our tour. The spacious room, the cosy gazfire, the great view and private spa were a real treat. We had room service and the food was very good too. Staff is a little scarce. Also the spa treatments were not available on Wednesday. But we loved the place and will definitely be back on our next visit to New Zealand. Then for a longer stay.

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.
