We had a fantastic stay. The room was so spacious! We had a private balcony where we could hang our wet towels and swimwear after visiting Hanmer Springs hot pools. The bathroom also had a hot towel rail which was a plus. The bed was comfortable and we appreciated the ample power points on the bedside. I'd recommend staying here.

We have stayed here a few times now it definitely our go to hotel in Hanmer springs. We have stayed in other hotels here but feel this hotel offers best value for the price. This time we had upstairs room 214. It was excellent very quiet and spacious. Had a deluxe feel and had its own very private balcony surrounded by nature which was so nice to have our cuppa there looking at nuture, mountains with snow top and listening to the birds it was neat. Comfortable bed, large tv and we enjoyed the spa bath. Very friendly staff. The buffet continental breakfast was good maybe extra fruit in bowl could be good there was only diced apple. Good car parking. Easy short walk to town and pools. Overall very happy will definitely be back.

Staff were friendly, helpful, approachable, well presented. Thank you for all your good work in running this establishment. Room and bathroom size roomy which was great. Bed very comfy. Great view and privacy (1st floor room). Lovely and airy - Hear Native birds all around. Nice! Cleanliness was really good (exception of plug but you did not see until removing plug!) - no odors, just fresh country air! Things that would have lifted a star rating -found hair under handbasin plug ; wobbly door handle ; carpet seemed bit tired; one side of net curtain didn't pull easily. Overall we enjoyed our stay, and felt very comfortable in surroundings. Felt refreshed and relaxed, which made our stay in Hanmer Springs so much better!
