It looks as though I am NOT the first to have a HORRIBLE, SCARY, UNCOMFORTABLE experience after seeing what another reviewer has written and with talking to other people regarding our stay at Albergo. We also spoke to a few friends who are locals in Hamner who informed us they had heard of this happening before. In view of coming... More

This is entirely correct. The customer did not pay for 2 people and did book the cheapest room she described. We allowed them to stay and offered a private bathroom adjacent to their room.She refused to pay the full rate for 2 people which we consider theft She was given ample opportunity to settle the amount due, however she chose...

This B & B personifies great Kiwi hospitality. We stayed in the 3-bed cottage in the grounds which for our family of 5 was perfect. There was nothing too pristine that we had to worry about with our children. I think the main rooms and the 2 bed Alpine Villa are rather more plush, but for us the cottage was... More

We stayed here for one night on a short break over Easter. Really enjoyed it - spa, large bathroom, clean, great breakfast and friendly dog! Hosts friendly and very helpful when we had a problem with a booking elsewhere in Hanmer. Would stay there again.

Fabulous hospitality, amazing breakfast, great hosts. We stayed in the room with the spa bath, which was hugely comfortable, with heaps of room and doors opening to an outside seating area where we could enjoy the sunshine. It was a bit of luxury on our bike trip around the north of the South Island and we will definitely return.

We stopped in the Alpine Villa at the Albergo Hanmer from 20 February for 5 nights. The Albergo is situated a short two minute car journey from the town in a nice secluded spot. So you have the benefit of the seclusion that the Albergo gives you but also have easy access to the facilities in Hanmer itself. The hosts... More

We spent two nights at this lovely place. Everything (rooms, bathroom etc) are very good. But the best is the hospitality of the kind couple that makes the stay special. The first night we could use their kitchen to make up our own food. Afterwards we were spending the evening together in the living room, making music....It was a fabulous... More

Service and hosts were welcoming and lovely. Breakfast amazing, tasted great! However room and house cleanliness was not good. It was evident the room had not had a good clean for a while - mould in bathroom and toilet lid had what looked like splashes of urine of it. Floor was not clean - needed a vacuum and mop. Bed...

Hi Jayne, Sorry you were not happy with the level of cleanliness. We are a bit confused to the comments about mould? As to the toilet seat we can assure guests our regime is thourough and cannot explain this. We agree the carpet in the lodge is nearing renewal stage and hope to attend to this in the next season....

This was our third visit to Albergo Hanmer Lodge in as many years. We stayed in the fully self contained 3 bedroom cottage which has breathtaking views of the snow capped mountains from every room. The quality of cleanliness was superb and the ambiance in the Cottage and surrounding gardens so relaxing. Jo and Lindsay are fantastic, friendly hosts. Through... More

We really enjoyed our one night at the Albergo Lodge. Jo and Linz were lovely hosts. Although there was snow all around outside, our room was cosy and warm and relaxing after a hectic week at work. The kingsize bed was comfortable for a wonderful nights rest. The room was spotless and clean. The breakfast was magnificent. A wonderful choice... More

Thank you for your comments,however I would like to explain to our other guests that the $50.00 was charged to move much furniture back into place when the guest left. Also we should not be expected to pick up soiled nappies that have just been dropped on the floor. This guest aproached us for a refund of the $50.00 or... More
