Good location for short stay
This was a lovely & spacious house for our 2 families for our short stay in Hanmer Springs. The house comfortably slept 8 of us & was a very convenient location for town & the thermal pools. We chose the option to clean it ourselves as the cost was quite high, but it would have been good to have more detail about what that entailed before arrival. Also, the cost for the linen was extremely expensive when compared to other places we stayed. Would recommend to others due to it's location & the house was lovely.

Quick little getaway
Over all, the property was in an amazing condition. There was however an issue with the security light outside the master bedroom. At night time, it would keep flicking on and off which would cause the master bedroom to light up. We couldn't find the switch to turn this light off which unfortunately lead to a couple of restless nights sleep for the two of us in the master bedroom

Loved being able to walk everywhere. Fire was awesome. We were a bit confused that the house is listed as 3 bathrooms when it only has two. Otherwise spacious and warm. Great for a family get together.

Great Escape
The property was very clean and had all the necessities for a relaxing break away. We were a group of 9 and there was plenty of space, the beds were very comfortable and the showers had great pressure. Lots of spaces to relax in front of the fire! We also thoroughly appreciated the smart tv for our study sessions. Excellent communication from the host and property management team. We had a great time in this gorgeous home!

Very poorly managed
The house is beautiful, well-designed, and well-located. But t had two flaws, one major and one minor. Major: Although it has a washing machine, there is no dryer, which makes the washer completely useless. We had to go into town to do our laundry. Minor: Only one very small trash can in the entire house. More importantly, the company that manages the home, which I'm told manages numerous properties in Hanmer Springs, does a terrible job. Here's why: We had "hired" linen, and none was there when we arrived. We finally got sheets at 10:20pm, and only the top sheets arrived. A half hour later, after another call, the remaining sheets, pillow cases, and bath towels arrived. Two of our group slept on the mattress with no sheets that night. The next day they delivered hand towels. What's more, the four sets of sheets were for 3 different sized beds, and there was no indication on the sheets which ones were for which beds. Aside from the poor delivery, I would expect when we hire linen that we would find the beds already made up. Further, although the kitchen is well stocked with utensils, there are zero amenities in the house. We were left exactly one tiny "round" of soap for use in two bathrooms. It took another day for them to deliver two more disks of soap. We would love to stay here again, but only with the assurance that the management group had gotten its act together. One member of our group is in the hospitality business, and he simply couldn't believe the poor management.
