Located in Hanmer Springs in the Canterbury region, Hanmer High Country Views provides accommodation with free WiFi and free private parking.

Each unit comes with a terrace offering mountain views, a flat-screen TV, a well-fitted kitchenette and a private bathroom with shower, free toiletries and a hairdryer. A fridge and toaster are also featured, as well as a kettle.

Guests at the lodge can enjoy a continental breakfast. The location a little bit outside of the town was so quiet and so beautiful. The house is surrounded by a 360 view of the mountains. When you open the curtains in the morning or sitting outside on your own terras you see the best the world has to offer right at your doorstep. The accommodation feels bright new and everything is in so clean and good quality materials are used. The bed is wonderfull! The fridge is filled with delicious things to have breakfast in your own bubble on the terrace. After just two days of hiking, a bit of shopping and going to the hot springs we felt so relaxt. I think this was one of our best stays during our trip through New Zealand.
