Amuri estate is a great place to enjoy some peace and quiet. The house is beautifully build and very well designed and tastefully decorated. I had a specious room with quality furnishing and an extremely comfortable bed. It’s awesome to wake up and enjoy the spectacular views of the vast valley and the Hanmer mountain rage in the backdrop. I... More

We stayed at the Amuri Estate Retreat for three nights in the lovely cabin. The views are just beautiful and being able to open the big wooden double doors to bring the outside in is a great touch. Lisa and Chris are excellent hosts and the breakfasts are wonderful -especially the blueberry pancakes. One of the best things about this... More

We arrived late in the afternoon after a flying into Christchurch (2 weeks after the earthquake) and were immediately welcomed by Chris and Lisa. The accommodation was excellent as was the friendly pre dinner drinks in the lounge area. The views are excellent both from your room and the lounge area and breakfast was very filling with a large number... More

A great place away from the crowds but close enough if you want to get involved. Fantastic views. Great hosts who are very warm and hospitable but respect your privacy. Having the stand alone cottage was a good choice but a room in the main building would have also been superb. Decor extremely nice. Everything has been done well with... More

So aptly named as a Retreat, just outside of Hanmer Springs. A real get-a-away, so peaceful and private enabling the best sleep. Unfortunately for us the views were limited as we had poor weather however the setting is superb, overlooking the whole valley. Amuri is beautifully furnished. Chris & Lisa are so hospitable. The whole experience was like visiting friends... More

We are part way through a month travelling round New Zealand and this is by far the highest standard we have come across. From the warm greeting and superb views to the excellently appointed bedroom and stunning guest lounge it is only unfortunate that a score of five is the highest available because this is five plus! Not cheap but... More

A lovely, out-of-the-way place to stay in the highlands. Sunrise over the mountains is quite a sight, and Hanmer Springs is just down the road. Delightful owners who made me feel really comfortable and welcome. Just a great place to walk around, or to base operations for trips. The mountains, the springs, a little bungee jumping all really close. Breakfast... More
