As per a previous review, at first glance Scarborough Lodge does not look anything special but as the old adage goes, "You can't judge a book by it's cover" it certainly applies here. We were greeted by a neighbour who was standing in for the absentee owners for the afternoon. I am so sorry I can't remember her name but... More

The owner Graham was extremely friendly. We only had a fly by visit to experience the hot pools. We were glad we stayed here. It was an easy walk to the springs and into town for dinner. Graham supplied extra towels for us to take to the pools. There is easy parking close to the room which was great for... More

Scarborough lodge is a small motel within easy walking distance of hanmer springs village, the rooms were clean, well equipped and warm (have heat pump).

The room itself was large and very clean with a kitchenette, sofa, flat screen TV, large bathroom with spa bath, and a little garden out the back. There was Sky TV... More

My girlfriend and I stayed in Scarborough Lodge for a night while doing a tour of the south island and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The lodge is in a good location, close to the centre of Hanmer, and all the main attractions of the area. We were welcomed warmly and the room we were given was spacious and very clean.... More

We stayed here for the 2 days we spent in Hanmer Springs. We had a beautiful, clean room with a Jacuzzi and private garden overlooking the nice and peaceful neighbourhood. Graeme is a wonderful host. Warm, friendly and full of good advice. It was his idea that it was the best time to go to Hanmer Spa while it was... More

At first glace Scarborough Lodge does not look anything special but it would be a mistake not to consider it as an ideal place to base yourself while in Hanmer. It is spacious. exceptional clean and well located close to restaurants and the hot springs - the perfect place to stay.
