Relaxing Spa Experience

During my recent stay, my husband and I enjoyed a one-hour couples massage at the spa, which was absolutely wonderful. The ambiance was soothing, and the treatment was just what we needed to unwind. It really added a special touch to our anniversary getaway!

Delicious Dinner Delights

We had dinner at the lodge restaurant, and the food was fantastic. I tried the best cauliflower soup I've ever had, followed by a delicious rack of lamb. For dessert, the deconstructed banoffee pie was a lovely finishing touch. The ambiance made dining a truly nice experience.

Our stay at the Lodge in Hanmer Springs was truly a winter wonderland experience. The location offered spectacular views of the mountains, and our room was spacious and well-decorated. The dining experience was lovely, especially with exceptional service, although we encountered a bit of a hiccup with the bathroom being quite cold. Overall, the Lodge provides great value for those seeking a luxurious getaway, but there are minor issues to address for a perfect stay.

I had a lovely overnight stay here with a great deal that included both dinner and breakfast. The room was generous in size, cozy, and featured a lovely fireplace that added a nice touch to the chilly winter atmosphere. The restaurant offered fresh and seasonal dishes while the wine selection was impressive and reasonably priced. It was wonderful to relax in the lounge area where guests engaged pleasantly with one another, creating a welcoming environment. The only downside might be the lack of a view in some rooms due to tall trees blocking the mountains, but it didn't detract too much from my overall experience.

Although the spa on the balcony had a slight smell that was off-putting, it didn't detract from my overall experience. The dining was fantastic, especially the beautifully presented dishes. I highly recommend this spot for a relaxing getaway, but just be aware of the minor drawbacks with the balcony spa.
