Our stay
Loved it, 2nd time staying here. Didn't need to use our car at all for our 2 night stay, everything was only a 5min walk away. Clean and very tidy. Everything we needed in the kitchen was available. We will definitely be staying again.

Handy location
We stayed in Autumn, beautiful time of year and were kept cosy with the woodburner. Shortcut down to the river and trails is great. Would love to stay during the summer time too to make more use of the outside areas. Communication was awesome. Will definitely look at for our next trip up!

Loved our stay at this beautiful house. The house was a lot bigger than it looks in the pictures and my son loved exploring the garden and house. Would definitely come back for a stay next time we’re in Hanmer springs

A relaxing base for your Hanmer adventures
A clean, tidy Bach with all the comforts of home. The living room opens onto a spacious deck which overlooks the bush. There are bedrooms upstairs and downstairs. The heat pump is downstairs - the upstairs area is kept cool in the summer months with a fan. The Bach is centrally located just a short 3-minute walk to Hanmer Town Centre. The kitchen has all the mod cons. Loved the hammock in the garden!

Overall happy with the stay
Great location, very close to the hot pools and restaurants. Love the fact that the house has direct access to the forest. Beautiful view, quite street. Lots of toys for the young one, lots of board games, dvds and cards. Great supply of fire woods. Plenty of cups, plates, cutleries. The only downside about the property is the cleanliness. The place is not that clean, lots of cobwebs, dust, the pillows have drool stains (I think that's what put me off the most). Lots of left over items (I'm guessing) from previous guests, expired items like sunscreen from 2018 etc. (I'm sorry but I threw them away) The place doesn't have wi-fi so make sure you have plenty of data on your phone or just unplugged and enjoy your time with your family or friends. The card game is pretty fun for the adults. The kid entertained himself with the marble run. Overall we are happy with the stay.

Beautiful stay in Hanmer
Wonderful house, perfect for family groups with 2 living areas and plenty of toys and games available. Great fire that kept us toasty warm with plenty of firewood. Lovely outdoor area though it was a bit chilly for us - love to come back in summer. Everything we needed in the house and a short stroll to town, pools or into Hanmer Forest. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, thanks very much.

we had a lovely time in Hanmer, very quiet and comfortable accommodation. One small issue that I need to report. The shower hose bracket is loose and fell off when my sister attempted to move the shower head. It went back into position but we were very careful not to move it again. thanks for nice accommodation

Home Away From Home
Our family really enjoyed staying at this property. It is a great place to stay because it is close to town and easy access to some family-friendly bike tracks. The kids (age 8 and 11) also have their own space where they can hang out and play games. Thanks for providing such a lovely accommodation!

What makes this property unique

The location of our house means that you get to enjoy all the benefits of feeling like you are miles away from everything. While the village may be buzzing with a busy weekend crowd or holiday funseekers we get all the peace and quiet that our location brings while being a few minutes walk to all the attractions - we definately have the best of both worlds that Hanmer Springs offers. Great adventurous garden for the children, joining onto dogstream reserve, gives us our leafy tranquil back garden..... it is definately our happy place.
