Beautiful property with amazing views from the room. The room was huge and so comfortable. Highly recommend staying and would absolutely go back again!! The only thing that would make this room even better is proper toiletries in the bathroom instead of joint shampoo and conditioner and a small throw on the couch to get all cosy by the fire

About 10 minute drive out of town, but truly worth it. We had room 15. From the time we walked in everything was wow. Large bathroom with a two person spa. King size bed and it also had a fire place. Out on to the patio and wow again. The views of gardens and the mountains was spectacular. Sitting on the patio with those views and the serenity of the area was awesome. Breakfast was included and was buffet style hot and cold, with those views again.

Great property if you like the quiet, it is a few kms outside the town and there is nothing around. Great views from the rooms. Very clean, facilities are ok but the gym is very small in a cold room. Annoying that the good breakfast does not provide free coffee other than Americano, on the three days we were there for two there was no barman to make the espresso and the cappuccino. The waiter did his best but the result was poor and they still charged us. Great hotel if you like the quiet

Lovely rooms average food.
Fabulous rooms which are to the highest level. This lodge also used to be a fine dining experience. Sadly not any more. The evening meal was average but the buffet breakfast was poor. Such a shame.

Very nice place. Cleanliness could be improved. Staff friendly, but attention to detail could be improved. 8 to 5 work ethic in NZ is disappointing. But that doesn't just apply to Braemer. It is a problem everywhere here.

Had an excellent stay here a couple years back. Was excited to return, however was quite dissatisfied this time round with the room The spa pool water was yellow tinged and felt slimy. Getting out I felt filthy and not relaxed, chose this accommodation specifically for the spa pool, so was disappointed that it didn’t appear clean. The spa bath had black marks/chips across the bottom making it look like it was full of specs of dirt. There was alot of rust on the body wash holder in the shower. The positive was the buffet breakfast, that was very yummy and good array of options.

Was nice and relaxing and enjoyable. The only thing that could be improved is the spa it wasn’t that hot it was almost luke warm water and wasn’t able to turn the temperature up so wasn’t able to sit in it for long as it was cold and that was the main reason I booked that suite
