A good place to stay

Clean, modern, well equipped with good facilities. Recommended.

Start of tranzscenic railway. Seal colony at Westport and Shantytown both worth a visit. Monteith's brewery tour also well worth doing. Bring a raincoat / umbrella or both? Maybe even some westcoast slippers? Enjoyed our stay ay Greymouth.

A great place to stay

This hotel was very good value and a great place to stay at. The location is very central and convenient, almost directly opposite the thermal pools and an easy stroll to restaurants, bars and shops. Our compact second-floor room consisted of a comfortable king-sized bed from which we had a great view of the snow-covered mountains. The complimentary buffet breakfast was a welcome and delicious bonus.

Would definitely stay there again.

Hanmer is a great place to either relax and unwind or be as activity-packed as you desire. Spending time in the hot thermal pools is a ritual as are walking some of the many forest and hill walks. We took a drive to the Jollies Pass Accommodation House whilst others went in the other direction for a day at the skifield. Next time we will have a round of mini golf and get lost in the maze.
