Drifters Inn

A great place to stay. The owners are very welcoming and the use of the kitchen, dinning and lounge area was a really nice touch. It was very nice to sit around the fire at the end of the day. Rooms ticked every box, quiet and climate controlled, plus all the amenities you could want. Would stay there again.

What a lovely surprise 👍 with a super friendly greeting. There is a commercial grade kitchen available for guests that is fully kitted out with cooking gear, hot plates and ovens, microwaves, a coffee machine and so on. Big lounge area with a mix of tables and soft furnishings, tv, games and similar plus outdoor courtyard with tables and BBQ. Had a relaxed night cooking some local chorizo and Zuchinni with Italian gnocchi and a tomato and basil sauce enjoyed with a bottle of Hawkes Bay Syrah. Rooms are modern and well equipped and while not huge have everything you need with the lounge and kitchen facilities available. Highly recommended if you are visiting Hanmer Springs 😆

Perfect location & very comfortable rooms, we found the staff super helpful, friendly. Loved restaurant next door fire & ice, but highlight hot springs across the road. Will definitely stay here again

Very central and right across the road from the thermal pools. Friendly and helpfull staff.

Hosts were amazing and property is so cosy and home like with a gorgeous inviting lounge area and even a kitchen to prepare food if you need to. Rooms are immaculately clean and modern. Definitely will be the only place I stay in Hanmer every time. Right across from pools as well and the hotel provides beach towels for convenience too!

The owner was very friendly and welcoming.Told us where everything was and what areas we were able to use eg Lounge and Kitchen areas. Room was well thought out and very comfortable. We would definitely look at staying there again .

Great friendly staff, good with kids too. Right opposite the hot pools and in the middle of town,

Clean and tidy , great staff, handy to everything

We stayed just one night as part of a pamper package which also included massage & hot pools entrance. The room was comfortable & facilities excellent. We loved the fact there was a shared kitchen we could cook in. The roaring fire in the lounge and range of board games was excellent. The owners were friendly and helpful. A good central location as well. We'd choose to book into this motel again should we return to Hanmer.
