Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Extremely disappointed to arrive after check in time to be notified there was no dinning or food available on site. If we had been at least notified of this we could have brought some of our own food along as the lodge is approximately 8 km away from any available food in Hanmer. Then found the spa pool with our room was half empty and cold. The poor cleaning staff was sent to fix but knew nothing about the pool then proceeded to have to check multiple other rooms for a spa that was operational and clean. I’ve stayed at Braemar on multiple occasions and this was by far the worst performance yet. Extremely disappointing and reception staff didn’t seem to care at all. Won’t be going back and definitely won’t be recommending to anyone in the future.

Overall experience was good. Wasn’t aware that to get to the lodge you had to drive on a gravel road off the highway. Wasn’t easy in my car. The room was beautiful, but was lacking a few amenities eg. Towels, robe, drinking water. Room service was quick and the food was good. Loved the outdoor spa! Overall was a pleasant experience

Hi We were slightly disappointed as we booked a room with an outdoor spa but the spa only had jets working on one of the seats. Not good enough really considering how exclusive the resort is. Regards Allison
