We had a fantastic stay at Braemar Lodge! The rooms were absolutely stunning — spacious, beautifully decorated, and luxurious. The bed was enormous and incredibly comfortable, making it hard to leave in the morning! One of the highlights was the toasty fireplace, creating a warm and cozy atmosphere, perfect for relaxing after a long day. The bathroom was something special — huge, with a spa bath and a lovely view to enjoy while soaking. Such a treat! The lodge also has a fabulous spa that added an extra layer of indulgence to our stay. The only downside was the check-in experience. There was no staff at the front desk when we arrived, so we had to self-check-in, find our room, and take our own bags. It felt a bit impersonal for such a luxurious lodge, but thankfully, the room and overall experience made up for it. If they improve the front desk service, it would be flawless. Overall, a stunning place to unwind and indulge!

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

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
