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.

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.

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!
