Drifters Inn

Guesthouse

Lovely place to stay. Great hosts. Very clean. Great facilities.

The staff were awesome and so friendly, the Inn is close to all the restaurants and right across the road from the pools. The rooms are well thought out and could quite easily fit 2 adults and 2 young children in one room. Fantastic place :)

Great place to stay, close to everything and very quiet.

Nicely decorated spacious rooms. Interior throughout building is lovely Warm welcoming hosts to greet you on arrival. Staying one night on a tour, would definitely stay again though.

We stay here once a year. Adele and Andy always remember and are very friendly and caring. Beautiful rooms, fab amenities and the fire is amazing. Plus right across the road from hot pools. Towels supplied.

Very very clean, slept really well, loved sitting in the lounge in front of the open. Great place to stay.

From the moment we arrived everything was awesome. Staff where very helpful and welcoming. Room and facilities where lovely and clean and comfortable. Location is awesome also. Will differently stay again.

Stayed last night.
Warm and welcoming staff.
Apart from a bit of noise from the group staying. Was quite loud and made it hard for my partner to get to sleep when he had a migraine. Facilities were excellent. Would definitely stay again just not on that side of the block by the lounge.

Awesome place to stay in Hanmer… great facilities, clean and tidy modern rooms, lovely owners, nice by the fire, very central location for everything in this little paradise. Highly recommend this place.

Such a lovely place to relax while having a wine by the fire.

Great place to stay do recommend for friends and family.

Really enjoyed our stay at the drifters inn. Clean and tidy rooms. Nice and warm and Andy is a legend!

Really good. Nice warm clean. Friendly. Lounge comfy.

We were VERY impressed. Lovely staff who made us feel at home. Location was perfect. We never write reviews, but felt we had to considering how great our experience was. Highly recommend.

Good location. Room is neat and clean with a kitchen at ground level to do own cooking and a lounge area. Staff/owner Andy is friendly and helpful. Enjoyed the stay here.

Wow from the moment you arrive the staff are amazing, the rooms are comfy, location A++++ and the beautiful lounge you can enjoy a wine in around the huge fire is so lovely. Highly recommend to others.

Fantastic, friendly service and perfect location. Will be happy to visit again.

This place is so nice. The hosts Adele and Andy are fantastic and super friendly! The rooms are cosy and warm and the dining area is super cute and comfortable!

Loved our stay here; wish we stayed longer; Andy and Adele were very friendly and helpful. My rating for Drifters Inn would be 10/10.
Location is fantastic; across the road from the hot springs.
Couldn't fault our room. Enjoyed sitting infront of the fire while playing games. We are looking forward to our next trip to Hanmer Springs and staying at Drifters Inn.
Staying at Drifters Inn you won't be disappointed.

Only stayed one night would definitely stay again. Great location, perfect service and comfortable beds. The room we stayed in was small but had everything we needed.

Cool place to stay, rooms are really nice and the rumpus area downstairs is a great idea. Kitchen is well-equipped and very friendly hosts.

Stayed for one night on a Friday, arrived around 20:30 and couldn't have had better service. Absolutely lovely, felt very looked after, comfy bed, very reasonably priced. Will definitely be coming back for another stay when going back to Hanmer.

Amazing place to stay. Fantastic kitchen which is so well organised it will inspire you to cook! Barbeques free to use outside too. The lounge is super cosy with a wood fire place and comfortable couches. Plus the hosts are so kind and friendly, you will never want to leave!

-Just opposite Hanmer Spring, walk past 3 minutes-towels are provided for guests to take to the spa-the rooms are very new and the facilities are good-there is a small supermarket next door and many restaurants-private parking.

Exceeded our expectations. Lots of space. Nicely decorated. Very clean. Warm welcome. Well situated. Good laundry facilties. Great having access to a full kitchen.

We Loved this place! The location is excellent and everything was spotless and clean. There are extra towels to use for swimming as well as games and books fro guest use in the lounge. Ian the manager was super helpful and friendly. I would love to stay here again!

Cool place to stay, rooms are really nice and the runpus area downstairs is a great idea. Kitchen is well-equipped and very friendly hosts.

By far the loveliest accommodation and friendliest host during a 3 week tour of NZ. A home from home. Stay here!

Owners are Great, Awesome Welcome, Great Rooms and reasonably priced.

A very warm welcome by the most accommodating of hosts. Great rooms with all you need for your stay. Tea and coffee making facilities. Very knowledgeable about the area.
Car parking free of charge. Close to amenities and facilities. Loaned us towels for the hot pools.
Reasonable price and therefore great value for the service received. Book it, you won't regret it.

Great service and a very comfortable stay, right near the hot pools. Very knowledgeable and helpful staff, clean and tidy rooms.

Very welcoming, clean adequate room. Beautiful communal lounge with log fireplace and we'll equipped kitchen. Opposite thermal pools and Central to village.

Drifters is located perfectly across from the thermal pools and close to town. The receptionist here is wonderful and will help you out anyway she can. The rooms themselves are clean, and comfortable, and roomier than others. They even supply the guests with beach towels from reception for use at the pools which you return after use and can get a new one each day. ☺️

Helpful staff/ great to interact with other people in joint kitchen/ well appointed kitchen/ complimentary towels for hotspring.

A modern day inn with an inn keeper that really knows how to value his customers. This place is just over the road from the pools — so a great location.

Excellent place to stay if you want lower priced private rooms. Very clean, well run business with great facilities. Nice shared kitchen, incredible lounge with huge fireplace and great games! Also amazing location. Right across the road from the hot pools.

My boyfriend and I stayed to celebrate our 6 months anniversary and we were completely satisfied with the amazing staff and service we received! Absolutely loved our room and felt so welcomed by everyone. Would 100% recommend to anyone, would definitely stay again!

Nice place, a bit unusual for a motel with shared kitchens, dining and lounge rooms. Lovely staff and owners and could not be better located for the pools.

Awesome location. Friendly informative staff. We were upgraded without asking and the room was great thank you. We will be back.

Been there a few times. Always an enjoyable stay.

If visiting Hamner Springs for the pools then the Drifters Inn is a great option, only being a few minutes away. The place is nicely appointed and just like home.

My partner and I stayed here for our anniversary this year. Great place, lovely rooma and wonderful hosts! Even got an easter egg! (as we were there easter weekend). Definitgoing back.

Excellent place to stay! The absolute closest hotel to the pools, beautifully decorated lounge area with big fireplace, huge kitchen facilities, very clean rooms and plenty of parking. The best thing about Drifters Inn is that the hosts are just wonderful — very warm and friendly. Their hospitality is first class and really makes for a positive, enjoyable stay. I will be sure to recommend to friends and stay again myself in the near future.
