Set amongst mature trees and surrounded by the Southern Alps, this beautifully restored local landmark has been transformed into a resort with outdoor swimming pool, tennis and petanque courts.

Great location just out of town, peaceful and quiet, but close enough to thermal springs.
Very clean, spacious cabin.
Just 300 metres from the Hanmer Springs Thermal Pools, Kakapo Lodge boasts a guest lounge with a log fireplace and a large communal kitchen and dining area.

Kakapo Lodge is comfortable and practical with shared bathroom and kitchen spaces. The whole complex is clean, tidy, warm and equipped with all the necessary amenities one needs for a great stay. We particularly enjoyed the fire being lit in the common areas as we stayed whilst it was getting colder, and the curtains being closed early evening in all the common areas. The owner/staff we interacted with were always super friendly, available when needed and professional. I highly recommend Kakapo Lodge.

A charming Swiss chalet-like hostel full of character, warmth, and nice touches for guests. Tristan is a natural at hospitality, with an innate sense of guest need. Warm, cosy rooms, a log fire, comfy beds and armchairs, a well equipped kitchen, a place radiating backpacker hospitality at its best. Highly recommended. Will remember it well.

I grew up in Christchurch but now live in Melbourne so it was nice to take my partner there. Our family spent many stays in Hanmer growing up in the 80's.
It is nice to see that Hanmer still has the same charm and feel of Swiss Alps.
There is still mini golf; Hanmer Hotel and the walk up conical hill- all the things I remember.
It has grown and I see a lot more tourism but the Alpine resort feel especially in winter is still there....

A quiet Canterbury town with a restorative atmosphere.
A quiet Canterbury town with a restorative atmosphere. It has has not yet succumbed to big business high rise accomodation and over- commercialism, as seen in Wanake and Queenstown. It’s only 90 mins drive from Christchurch and its international airport. It’s cool in both senses. In a secluded valley off the main highway. Thoroughly recommend it for visitors to New Zealand. You can sit in hot pools, go mountain biking or walking. And there’s a farm animal zoo close by for the children. The adventurous can go bungee jumping. There’s skiing close by. And 4-wheel drives shirt and long.

Hanmer Springs is a great break away.
Hanmer Springs is a great break away. For most people, the Hot Pools, nice accommodation and restaurants are the main attractions. Our only negative is that as we drive a Battery Electric Vehicle, there is no fast charger in Hanmer Springs. There are two slow chargers at the pools, and we made use of one of those while we had a swim. The nearest fast charger is at Culverden and there's always a queue in our experience.

The Hot Pools are a great drawcard, always popular.
The Hot Pools are a great drawcard, always popular. Some great restaurants, cafes and bars. Lots of trees, provide welcome shade in summer. Plenty of walking and cycling tracks. Water sports - rafting, jet boats, fishing etc. Craft market on a Saturday. Always a busy place for locals and tourists, so book early.

This was one of the best properties on our travels.
Loved the location. Everything we needed. Even towels for the hot pools. Cabin warm and very comfortable. I could have stayed longer.
Hot pools were amazing.
I would love to come back.

The Mountain View’s were beautiful and the walking track varied from easy to difficult. The town was very pleasant, clean and well taken care of. The pools were wonderful and especially enjoyed being able to swim laps in the big pool which was never crowded. Overall it was a very pleasant place for a vacation
Beautiful motel rooms with everything you could need. The team was very welcoming on arrival and we were lucky enough to be upgraded to a very big family room. Though we didn't even use the 2 bedrooms as we were a couple it was very spacious and we will definitely book this room next time we are in Hanmer with a bigger group as it would be perfect. The views from the master bed were stunning! Sadly we were only staying for one night - we wished we could have stayed longer. Will definitely be back, thank you team Scenic Views!
I looked at a lot of motels in the area and chose this one because the seating area had a proper lounge suite, not the awful vinyl covered tub chairs. So our evenings were very comfortable. The unit was lovely and warm on our arrival and lies well to the sun. The shower has great water pressure and the kitchen area had all we needed. The bed was very warm and comfortable. A short walk to great food and the wonderful hot pools.
We booked a cabin for 3 nights. Us and our 2yr old and 4yr old. The cabin was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. It has a lovely little deck area then onto a lawn which was perfect for the children. A playground in the main camping area also fab. Toilets and showers really close. Everything was clean and the owners are lovely. We had such a great time.
We were warmly greeted by Dave and immediately given a tour of the beautiful room, balcony and common spaces. You could tell they wanted this to be the best stay of our trip to New Zealand. The bed was wonderful, the oversized bathroom and luxury shower were great, the balcony and its commanding view over the entire town and valley were spectacular.
It was the second time we'd stayed here, and we chose it because it's just over the road from the thermal springs. The staff are lovely and the rooms are warm and comfortable. There's a very well equipped kitchen that guests can use, and a large guest lounge. Would definitely recommend for a stay in Hanmer Springs.
The fact it was a heritage hotel gave it real appeal to us, the grounds are well manicured and the central location made it a pleasant stay ,. the room was spacious with a large comfortable bed . We enjoyed our evening meal there , one of the better meals we had for some significant time along with breakfast
The room size and appointment, the spa bath on the deck and in the bathroom, most comfortable bed, great views and quietness, good breakfast. It takes 10 min by car to the Thermal pools at Hanmer Springs, and we needed a car anyway to get to the lodge from the airport (it's about 200 km to the nearest airport)
After 5 weeks touring NZ, the location great. The owner if this motel has done his
homework. Good shower adequate cooking facilities with excellent electric frying pan which is sufficient to do most things. Big plus: individual bedside lights and hooks to hang things, sorely missing from other motels
Alpine Adventure Holiday Park is such a beautiful spot, tranquil location and ideal for families. The amenities are plenty and overall it's a lovely place for a holiday, with everything you could need, whether camping or in a cabin. We spent 1 week here and didn't want to leave.
Peaceful stay in Hanmer, very close to the forest park / sculpture walk. Would be great for kids / families as there is a trampoline/play amenities. The accommodation met all our needs & the Easter eggs were a nice touch.
Out of all the motels we stayed at in Hanmer I would rate this one of the best! It's a lovely motel with the bathroom and kitchen quite separate from the bedroom and it was very convenient having the oven to cook in.
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.
Space for the kids to play. Well equipped kitchen. Great selection of movies to watch when it was wet. Cabins had good set out with space for bags and gear and plenty of hooks to hang towels and jackets.
Absolutely stunning room and bathroom, just pure luxury. Will definitely re visit. We had terrible weather but the hotel was fantastic and having a lovely spa outside was just heaven.
