Disliked: Cleanliness
The water wasnt safe to drink, we were not told about this. The cleaner told us, also the sign in the bathroom said the water had issues but they were rectifying it but it was safe to use. It smelt like sulpher. The spa was dirty and very old looking. There was mould in the bathroom around the spa bath sealant and abouve the shower. The furniture was okd and tired looking. We ordered food just a small meal. The soup was bland and tasteless, pumpkin I think, however on the menu it said vege soup. My partner ordered satay chicken sticks, they had a corn and pepper salsa not satay sauce. The spa bath kept turning on through out the night every 15 minutes. The windows and glass fence were filthy. Really gone down hill, tired and overgrown with weeds in the gardens. Very disappointed as not cheap to stay.

Unfortunately this trip wasnt as great as expected. Having paid over $330 for the night, we ended up having a rather smelly night. There was an oder coming from somewhere behind the fire place (gas smelling but the gas was turned off for the summer) which the staff was unable to locate. Being fully booked that night, we were unable to change to a different room and had to spend the night in a quite pungent smelling room. We did receive a discount the next morning but none the less i am still unsure if i will visit again. Restaurant was quite over priced for what we received for dinner, lovely flavors, but i expected more considering the amout i paid. This is also the second time i have visited Braemar and on both occasions the spa part ofbthe business has been closed or unavailable. Rather disappointing, not once but twice. So dont book a stay with the expectation of being able to book a massage on your visit.

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

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.

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
