ブレーマー ロッジ アンド スパ(Braemar Lodge And Spa)

We stayed 2 nights in the deluxe spa suite and were moderately satisfied. Given the price of the room and coming from a 5 star hotel we expected better. the wallpaper was torn off in certain places and camouflaged by something, the mini bar was not complete. the instructions for the bathroom spa not super clear. The shower was also not completely waterproof. Too bad not to have real sheets for the cover. however, we enjoyed the view and the jacuzzi. comfortable bedding. for the breakfast option, not at all up to the standard of a 5 star, and that's a shame. also disappointed, the 2nd evening we wanted to order cocktails for happy hour, the bartender being present told us that the bar was closed for that evening and when we asked if we could have them in our room we were told said no you can order only food , why? while the bartender was present, is this laziness? The hotel spa amenities were all out of order as well. At this price and claiming 5 stars we were quite disappointed

I was a bit disappointed. I was expecting this to be a 5 star place, but there were a lot of things that were definitely not 5 stars. The robes were grey and didn't cover bigger people. One of them had pilling all over it, I didn't want to even wear it. The bathroom door squeaked loudly, so if one person got up to the toilet in the middle of the night, it woke the other person up. There were instructions on how to use the spa bath, but not on how to put the plug in. It didn't just plug in normally. We weren't able to use it on our first night which was very frustrating as it was one of our main attractions. I rang housekeeping the next day. Someone came and had a look and said that you had to turn a know on the side of the spa, how would anyone know that? The lock on the door to outside was broken and a small slide lock had been put on. Why not fix the main lock? I used the toilets to the side of the library and when I washed my hands, the tap was all loose and wobbled round. All these things are little but show that the lodge needs to have things fixed or updated. For $300 per night, you expect the best. The worse thing was on our last morning, we got to breakfast about 8:45, the restaurant closes at 9:30 am. There was continental and scrambled eggs and bacon. At about 9:00 am they stopped bringing out anymore bread to toast. No more croissants, eggs or bacon were brought out. There were about 6 tables with guests and everyone kept going up and checking, but they didn't refill. People were saying, they must have run out of food! But for some reason the waiter kept lifting the lids to the egg and bacon to see what was in there, but of course there was nothing as he hadn't refilled it and he was the only waiter!! I was really disappointed and wouldn't recommend it, unless you are getting a really good discount.

Good hotel that is well located. Got upgraded into a bigger room.

Pros: Clean and comfortable stay Big room and big bathroom with spa Con: Road is a little rough to get to hotel Limited checkin hours Breakfast buffet could be improved - hash brown was so hard..seemed like left over food

A strange mix of luxury and basic errors. Huge room, with many luxury features, but....had to transport our own bags on a luggage trolley to the room; only two hangers in the wardrobe (quickly remedied by staff); room safe didn’t open an when maintenance fixed that, wouldn't close, so given override key; door onto balcony wouldn't lock, but 1st floor and a quiet location so not a big deal but still unnerving; hot tub showing error messages so wouldn't work (real 1st world problem that but then its supposedly a 5* hotel); finally food in restaurant very average for the class of hotel. Great room but too many *******.

Exceptional. We have travelled extensively in N.Z. and internationally, and this would be the quietest room we have stayed in. Well soundproofed, spacious, tastefully decorated, beautiful and expansive views from the room, and a comfortable bed combined ensuring a good nights sleep. Handy to Hanmer (about 5-6kms away) with all it's attractions. Only stayed 1 night, but will be back.

Lovely room unfortunately there were multiple faults the main one being the shower leaking leading to the bathroom flooding

Very enjoyable stay in a nice room. I’m just submitting a review with Ray Mayer Lodge and here

Trainee upon check in didnt have a room assigned. Tv didnt work in room. Breakfast is very substandard. Manager tried to argue about my issues on checkout instead of listening.
