Quiet peaceful rooms. Lovely staff.
Craig
Room maintenance was substandard for a supposed luxury apartment. Daily service was not done and was chased up and even then to a substandard. They didnt make the bed or clean the room. They just changed towels and emptied rubbish The fridge was on a lean, bed light not working, gas fire remote did not work. Whn reported to front desk they did nothing about it. When they said they would. The rack over the toilet was a head hitting hazard. There was a missing handle in the kitchen and a dirt mark on one of the supposedly clean robesno

The 3 bedroom apartment was amazing. Kids loved it. Will definitely go back
Dan
Great apartments in excellent location.
Great 3 bedroom apartment in a good central location near to shops, bars and restaurants. Nicely appointed with good kitchen facilities. Only let down was not the most comfortable bed and pillows. Other than that excellent. Wound recommend. Nice quiet location.
Michael
Beautifully spacious two bed room apartment. Very comfortable king size bed. Great shower and well appointed kitchen. Friendly service too. Really liked this spot. We even had new sofas delivered and set up when we were there. It was a quick 5 minute process and made our stay that much more comfortable. Thanks
Deirdre
Beautifully maintained property! A pleasure to visit.
Maurice
The apartment had comfortable beds and was luxurious.
Vic
Excellent accommodation, walking distance to restaurants and shops. Very friendly staff. Superior apartment. Absolutely would stay again
Darren
A great choice for families. Clean and comfortable, and just a short walk to the pools and shops. There’s a bit of wear and tear so don’t expect ultimate high end luxury, but everything works and the rooms are clean. We would definitely stay again. Although perhaps we’d request an upstairs unit next time as in the bottom apartment we could hear a bit of stomping coming from upstairs even though the rooms in general seem relatively well sound proofed.
Rachel
Immaculate well appointed accommodation, we stayed in the Rutherford suite, loved the pond outside our doors. 5 min walk into town.
Chris
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Nice staff, great facilities and Hamner Springs is a very special place. Every member of our very fussy, PITA family enjoyed themselves. Amazing.

Nice apartment, although this was the first time we have stayed in a ground floor apartment.
It was slightly dark, didn't get as much light as the upstairs apartments and noise from the upstairs apartment was very loud at times.
Also the outdoor patio although nice, not very private with people walking past constantly.

Tim
Everything we could of wished for awesome propery, kept very clean and attentive hosts. Definatley exceeded expectations.
Simon
This apartment was immaculate. Very well appointed with lovely hosts. The only thing I could say that I find frustrating is that when you have a full kitchen and there are no basics such as cooking oils and condiments that you need very little of and the local grocery store is really expensive for these items. Otherwise, it really had everything and we had a wonderful stay.

This was our favourite place. very clean, new and felt like home away from home. walking distance to shops. We loved Hanmer in general
Linkoln and Ngareta
Have stayed here a few times and always friendly welcoming service, property is always clean and has everything you need right down to the body moisturizer. There is insufficient parking to the number of apartments, so if you are to slow you will have to park on the road which is not ideal. A property of this caliber I would expect my own carpark.

Great quality accommodation even have underfloor heating in kitchen and bathrooms.

I thought it was nice and comfortable - just not luxurious - and quite expensive for what it was. ( although it was school holidays ) We also had a handicapped room which meant that we did not get a spa bath which would have been quite nice. We were also in a downstairs room which was quite dark and we did have quite a heavy footed family above us .
Verified traveler
Nice property with everything you needed in the apartment. Loved the fireplace.
Verified traveler
When the room was serviced the cleaner did the bare minimum only pulled up beds changed towels and empty rubbish bins

Third time is a charm
We have stayed here a couple of times when visiting Hamner and have never been dissappointed.
Lovely property with everything we needed for a comfortable weekend.
Great location too.

Kim
We had an amazing stay here. The only thing we would have loved was airconditioning or more fans especially at night as keeping the windows open just was not enough. The kids loved watching and feeding the ducks. It was great to have a small track to get into town quickly and easily too.

Lovely Apartments
Lovely apartment and very clean. Central to all Hanmer attractions and welcoming hosts. Only downside was it felt that they were penny pinching a bit e.g. only one sachet of washing powder was provided and further ones had to be purchased at $2 each. One sachet does not go far with a family of 4 for a week.

Beautiful apartments! Nice & clean! Beautiful location!
Verified traveler
Beautiful property with a great location that is easily walkable to the village center. The rooms were immaculate and the bathroom/shower was large and had good water pressure and hot water. We'had a two- bedroom and it was perfect fot my friend and me. It was very warm fir New Zealand when we visited so fans were supplied since the property does not have air conditioning. However, by next summer rooms will have A/C. That is good news and we would definitely stay here again especially with the news of the A/C installation. We had a wonderful stay!

great staff, nice rooms and lovely view.
what i did not like was warning signs saying if the rooms are too messy and takes longer time to clean, they will charger 100 dollars. it was not a cheap place to stay at so i dont think that should be there

Lovely comfortable accommodation.
The apartment was a great size for our family of four. Clean and well presented, with the added luxury and comfort of a gas fire for the colder seasons. The beds were comfortable. The apartment is noted as a five star, luxury apartment and as such we felt that the WIFI should have been unlimited, in line with other similar accommodation in this day and age, and also given the limited Television/SKY entertainment channels. Just a thought as there are no other ammenities with this apartment complex - such as a pool, gym or anything really.

Great location, and the apartment was a really good size for an adult family.

We loved this property. The location was great, we were able to walk every where. It was a great place to refresh on our tour of NZ.

A home away from home. Second time staying here and won't be the last. Very comfortable and roomy apartment, great for the family. Very modern, clean and a real pleasure to stay in. Would have given full marks but as with my first feedback, I find the beds way too soft

Great views of the lake and surrounding mountains
Fantastic views from the rooms. Restaurant and bar has great service and the staff are friendly. A few small issues with light Brocken light switches and glass bathroom door.

Superb Apartment in great location
Village Lake Apartments are modern, spacious and well equipped. We enjoyed our stay both living in the apartment and because of its easy access to Thermal Pools, Hanmer Forest and the village.
The owners, living on-site, were very hospitable and helpful for all of our stay ensuring we had a comfortable stay and did not lack for anything.
The special towels provided for the Thermal Pools each day are a nice touch.

Lovely apartments however they do not have airconditioning and it was hot! Had trouble sleeping at night.
Had to request for clean towels late in the afternoon & the bed was uncomfortable.
For the price we paid per night I expected more.
We were advised we could walk thru the Heritage hotel to get to the main street but encounted a very rude lady that worked at the Heritage and told us we were not allowed on the property - made us feel very welcome!

A sisters weekend away - 4 of us traveled in from all over the country. We had a thoroughly lazy time. Great food and wine. Friendly service from all the cafes and restaurants we went to. Lovely shops. Looking forward to returning. Great to have free pool towels available from Village Lake for hot pools. Very friendly at check in. Easy walking distance to main street so we walked to dinner, breakfast, shops etc. Would definitely recommend this property.

Excellent on all fronts
Great room, great service, fantastic spot for a family to visit.
Geoff
Good location and spacious but with flaws
A well appointed apartment with mostly impressive facilities.
However the lack of air conditioning in a $300/night room is NOT acceptable. Not even fans were provided. The apartment felt hot and stuffy.
Also the total absence of insect screens (unfortunately common in New Zealand) was annoying.

Exceeded all expectations, absolutely fabulous!
Our apartment was scrupulously clean, warm, modern, well-appointed and maintained and best of all, so quiet! The spa bath was deep and divine and the heated floors made for a very comfortable morning and evening. The complimentary towels for the hot pools were such a nice touch, just showing how thoughtful the proprietors are and how much attention they give to detail. We absolutely loved staying here and we will be back!

We will definitely be back!
We stayed here for 5 nights with our baby. The apartment was very clean, comfortable and spacious. The gas fire was awesome. Staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Easy walk to the hot pools and restaurants. Would highly recommend.
