Lavender Lodge - Cosy family retreat, short stroll to town
Welcome to Lavender Lodge, a warm and character-filled timber home nestled just a short stroll from the heart of Hanmer Springs. Surrounded by flowering gardens, fruit trees, and peaceful mountain views, this is a place where you can slow down, breathe deeply, and truly unwind.
From the moment you arrive, the natural wooden interiors and cosy alpine atmosphere create an immediate sense of comfort. This is not just a stay—it’s a relaxed, home-away-from-home escape designed for families, friends, and small groups looking to enjoy everything Hanmer Springs has to offer.
A Thoughtful Layout for Families & Groups
Lavender Lodge comfortably sleeps up to 8 guests across two levels, offering both shared spaces and private retreats.
Upstairs, you’ll find a cosy loft-style area designed especially with families in mind. This space includes two single beds and trundle beds, making it ideal for up to four guests. It’s a warm and playful retreat for children or a relaxed sleeping area for a small family group. You’ll also find books and toys provided, creating a comfortable and welcoming space for younger guests to enjoy.
Downstairs, the home features two beautifully appointed bedrooms. The master bedroom offers a super king bed that can be split into two super singles if needed, providing excellent flexibility for different group setups. The second bedroom includes a comfortable queen bed, perfect for couples or additional guests. Each room is designed with simplicity and comfort in mind, ensuring a restful night’s sleep after a day of exploring.
Indoor Comfort Meets Outdoor Beauty
The home is filled with natural timber finishes that give it a warm, relaxed, and uniquely cosy feel. Large windows allow natural light to flow through the space, enhancing the calm and inviting atmosphere.
Outside, Lavender Lodge is surrounded by a beautiful garden setting. Lavender plants, seasonal flowers, and fruit trees create a peaceful outdoor space where you can enjoy your morning coffee, unwind in the afternoon sun, or simply take in the fresh alpine air. The garden changes gently with the seasons, making every stay feel a little different.

The house is below par in heating due to minimal insulation, high ceiling and single glazing. The heat pump and electric heaters were not able to maintain an agreeable temperature with below zero temperatures outside. I know New Zealanders are used to bad heating, but we as Europeans feel this house is NOT COMFORTABLE. Even with the log fire going...
