Staff are really friendly and lovely. Love the powerful shower, comfy bed. Perhaps the bathroom can do with a few more hooks to hang clothes. We booked 2 rooms, but my kids room didn't get serviced for one of the 3 days. And coffee didn't get replenished. No big deal. I had knee problems so going up and down the stairs was challenging at times but didn't realised that the rooms were on 1st floor when i booked. Perhaps informing customers of the 1st floor rooms might be helpful. Overall happy and will do business with you guys again. Thank you.

Great Overnight in Hamner Springs

We got caught in a Hwy 1 closure along the coast and had to change our route to get to Christchurch. Managed to find this little gem just before closing. Owners were very kind to get us settled. Was just looking for a place to overnight after a very long drive. Quant resort town with spa. Be aware that the streets roll up early and restaurants shut down before 8 or so. Only pubs thereafter. Nothing fancy for the small room we selected but good value and was just what we needed. Nice that it had a microwave. Would stay there again.

Comfy beds, good quality bed linen, a fully equipped kitchen, spa bath, and sky tv made it very pleasant, despite having two toddlers with us!
