For leisure, mountain biking and rafting trips can be arranged at the tour desk. Other facilities include a garden, barbecue areas and a children’s playground.

Beautiful chalets set on a hill just outside the town. We appreciated all the extra touches. The owner was very friendly. The newspaper was delivered each morning. The kitchen had an oven, 2 tea towels and a hand towel. What we really loved were the individual reading lights at each bed, rare to find in most motels. Each chalet had a washing line and there was a laundry area we could use. The water was hot, the WiFi worked well and we had great views and one amazing sunset. Highly recommend.

    All accommodation in Hanmer seems to be very expensive but this motel was reasonable. I liked having a separate bedroom, if I didn't want to listen to T.V. there was somewhere else to be. The unit was old, but had been thoughtfully updated and refurbished, with a good heat pump, modern furniture and overall it was very pleasant.

    Superb all round. Terrific friendly staff. And ... a rarity amongst NZ motels ... good coffee along with proper milk - so simple, yet so rare. Room was warmed in anticipation of our late arrival back from the pools.
