Top Waiau Hotel Reviews

Edit Hanmer Springs

10/10 Excellent

"Great location in Hanmer Springs. "

Settlers Boutique Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Not often do I find accommodation where it is even better than it looks in the photos on websites - Settlers Boutique Motel has been beautifully renovated with a lovely look and feel. I got a warm welcome and shown to the cosy warm room thanks to the heat pump being already on, which was a nice touch. The room had been tastefully updated with lovely modern furniture, very nice bed linen and fantastic wallpaper! The room was beautifully presented with lots of attention to detail that was appreciated. Navjeet the house keeper left a lovely note and I really appreciated her great attention to detail and beautiful presentation of the room. The owners were lovely to talk with and clearly have a passion for tourism which is very hard to find these days. Highly recommended and I look forward to visiting often on my work travels to the area."

Private fabulous views including woodland reserve - Private Cedar Hot Tub

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful, great location! Lots of small details that made it a wonderful stay (blankets, games, appliances)! We went mid winter and it was super warm. There is a pretty sharp incline to flat at the top of the drive which will probably scrape the bottom of your car if its not a truck, but the was heaps of roadside parking and its not far at all from the front door!"

Hanmer Springs TOP 10 Holiday Park

10/10 Excellent

"The 2 bedroom units where we have stayed were great! They are clean and in great condition! They have great activities for kids like the playground, trampoline, mini golf and carts ride. The staff are great and friendly! The only two things that might need a bit of work would be- the playground might need a bit of work on it and the parking spots between the units was too tight to park the car in due to the shrub/bush which would need trimming back. Otherwise, overall, it was a great stay and we would definitely go back again! "
