Location was pretty close to the main street. Atmosphere was so amazing town had a relaxing vibe and love all the nature around the township. We had the 3 bedroom apartment super spacious warm and had everything you needed staff absolutely amazing and very attentive to our needs. Fantastic communication regarding our stay. Great value for money, smelt amazing and so clean when you entered the apartment I was so happy. We were the noise level but sorted and we considered others when required. A+ service. Apartment had everything we could need. Came to celebrate our 26 th year anniversary, 5th yr married and my 1st yr in business and we sure did 🤗 thanks to our wonderful hosts we will be back with our family soon 😁 cheers and I highly recommend this stay place.

We’ve stayed at several places in Hanmer Springs over the years, but Village Lake will definitely be our go to from now on. The apartments are well equipped, and perfect for a family. We had an issue with our Air Con late in the night. However, Dom came immediately after our call and sorted it out, making sure we were good for our remaining stay. The small Christmas gift with a handwritten card was also a lovely and thoughtful touch. Unlike many holiday homes that are unmanned and rely only on text communication. This place feels genuinely welcoming, with staff present and available throughout the stay. Very Good service and a place we’ll happily return to. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Wow Wow Wow. Dom and the team have a top location, in the centre of Hamner with kindness, cleanliness and service which is perfect. We stayed over Christmas and a wee gift was left for myself and mum, going above and beyound. The apartments are stunning with views over the hills and a very short walk to the pools. ( 2 mins) But it is the people that make the difference and this team shine. Thank you for a return stay and for being so helpful and welcoming. Hope to see you next year. A jackpot win to stay in this lovely, quiet setting. Appreciated Ang and Mary

Staying at this apartment was an absolute pleasure. The space is very well maintained and equipped with all the high end facilities which made our stay super comfortable. A perfect place to relax. The location is perfect and easy to access everything. Hospitality was on point. The host were warm, professional, responsive and attentive to every aspect to make sure a smooth and peaceful stay. I also appreciate the efforts and prompt service provided. We also asked for some local recommendations to go through which was bang on. Rare to find these kinds of host. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend - a place where luxury feels effortless!
Response from Property: Thanks for your kind words. It was a pleasure to have you stay with us. Look forward to seeing you again soon. :)

Disappointing-not 5 * Have stayed at what was very good accommodation several times over the years but sadly this property has lost the “luxury” aspect. It is now 4 *. Will look to other properties before booking this again as top end price for Hamner. PROS: great location-easy 5 min walk to town quiet 2 bdm/1bthrm apartments and 1bd 1bth have plenty of room with bonus of additional toilet in 2 bdrm apt. Good supply of cutlery & crockery Soft furnishings in good condition Good off street parking CONS: Contrary to advertising & in room info It is not serviced, excuse was they don t want to break your privacy. -towels not replaced until you go to office & request -rubbish not removed -we had 2 apartments, each occupant felt the lovely toiletries they historically had are now watered down also have to take bath/hand gel from sink to shower as only one supplied, annoying if you forget as have to climb out of bath (shower over bath) to retrieve it. -bathroom door water damaged and swollen (dry therefore historic) -don’t top up teabags or coffee unless you go down and ask for them Very old hairdryer still stuck on wall with “do not use” sticker on it. Why wouldn t you just take it off & replaster/paint the small wall-looks tacky not luxury -definitely not cleaned to the same standard as previous visits ie: backs of doors dirty, walls with a few chips out of them, rug in lounge felt grotty, outdoor furniture not clean. It has a general feel of lack of maintenance ie bargeboards need doing, outdoor rubbish bins overflowing We did speak twice to the lady on reception (not as engaging as the lady on check in on the Friday) but she seemed very disinterested. Felt a bit sad on departure as was always our go to in the past.

We stay here every time we are in Hanmer and it is an amazing place. The apartments are luxurious, beds incredibly comfortable, rooms very clean every time, never any issues from any of the times we have stayed here. Staff are so friendly and very helpful. You can borrow towels for the hot pools as well. Kitchen is very well stocked and the laundry facilities are great - means you can keep up to date with the washing while you are away, saving you a ton of washing when you get back home. An added bonus is the heating - heatpump plus gas fire means you are so warm during winter, air conditioning in the heat of the summer. We can't wait for our next visit.

We had a wonderful time, these units are so worth staying in, from the little touches like the excellent fudge left for us. To the lovely gas fire. They are spacious and well stocked, with a nice outlook. The couple whose units they are , are super helpful and kind. The price they gave us was super competitive. All in all it was a great experience. As we really wanted a restful time we chose not to have a service each day, no problem we were left alone to relax. (We even got some extra fudge) so kind.
Response from Property: Thanks for your amazing feedback Carmel. It was great to have you staying with us. We are glad that you enjoyed your time at the property, and here in the beautiful Hanmer Springs. Looking forward to host you both once again soon !! :)

After numerous stays at this establishment, our stay this time did not meet our expectations. Firstly we had to request the white robes which are normally in the apartments, then we found that the fridge was not turned on and when we managed to do so it continually beeped loudly. The manager attempted to fix the problem however was not able to do so, nor was the tradesman that came the next day. We were offered a chilly bin with a bag of ice!! We would think twice before re-booking.
Response from Property: Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We apologize for the inconvenience you experienced with the fridge during your recent stay. Please know that the issue with the fridge was a technical problem, and we made every effort to rectify it promptly. We did attempt to resolve the problem with the help of our staff, and also called a professional electrician. However, considering the fact that it occurred over the weekend, the parts were not readily available, making us unable to take any further action. We also offered you a room change to ensure your comfort. However, the room change option was not to your satisfaction, despite our genuine efforts to accommodate your needs. Regarding the white robes, please note that our staff was quick enough in getting the apartment ready for you to check-in, even though when you had arrived before the official check-in time, and we promptly provided them to you later in the day. Additionally, 2 free pool passes were also provided to you. We strive to deliver excellent service to all our guests. Your feedback is valuable to us as we continuously strive to improve our services and enhance guest satisfaction. We appreciate your understanding on this issue.

Loved every aspect of this property. Location is great with spectacular views. Walking distance to all that we needed in Hanmer. The apartment was beautiful, well appointed, warm and comfortable. Staying here was a real treat. The hosts were helpful and lovely to deal with. Would definitely choose to stay here again and highly recommend.

I have stayed here a few times and it always impresses. Unlike many of the places I re-visited in New Zealand, they haven't increased their prices exorbitantly. Clean and comfortable, with great facilities and accessories. I will be back.
