We spent just the one night here. There were three of us and all units have two or three bedrooms. The bathrooms are very big and well equipped. There is a full kitchen, big dining table and a big lounge with gas fireplace and TV. A very comfortable way to stay. Cost effective for two couples.

My fiancé and I have been coming to Hanmer Springs for our anniversary for ages and we always love to stay here! It's located right near the pools, restaurants and shops, all in walking distance. The rooms are large and are always warm! Views of the snow covered mountains from the couch make you want to stay inside all day!... More

Arriving in Hanmer Springs without a reservation was a deliberate move as we wanted to check out the town before making a booking. The first place was fabulous but did not quite fit our bedroom configuration. The owner of that establishment recommended Village Lake Apartments and she did so with a genuine concern for her customers wishes. I thought that... More

This was the nicest accommodation and best value we stayed in during our whole trip around the South Island. The apartment was large, modern and comfortable and included two toilets plus a full laundry with washing machine and clothes dryer. The ducks tap on the window asking to be fed in the morning and my kids loved walking, Pied Piper-style,... More

We've visited the South Island on 3 occasions (2 weeks each time) and this was our first visit to Hanmer Springs. What a charming place it is! Lots of things to see and do. Definitely put it on your list of places to visit, and definitely stay at Village Lake Apartments when you go! Near-new so ultra-modern and comfortable, the... More

I booked the apartment wanting to spoil my parents with a night away from Christchurch as I was visiting them from Australia with my boyfriend. The apartment first appeared as in the website. The living areas had a spacious feel and was close to the hot pools. There was a washing machine and dryer, and the apartment provided towels to... More

Hello Ming, Thank you for taking the time to write this review and I am sorry you had a less than memorable stay with us, we try very hard to make sure all our guests expectations are met or exceeded. With regards to the cook top being erratic we have checked this and all elements seem to be working fine,... More

This place deserves all its great reviews. It was lovely to have such a peacefull unit with a LARGE amount of space to unpack our days shopping in Christchurch in. It was beautifully appointed with a lot of thought going into the appliances used, the decor and even the toiletries showed that care had been taken to make things just... More
