Modern home with all the comforts, great views from the back deck and availability to wash own clothes and cook own meals. Amenities to do all that was excellent. Comfortable beds and bonus having two bathrooms if needed. Lovely surrounding views and parking onsite. Only downer was the Small airconditioning unit and having to supply your own linen and towels.

Amazing views
The name is definitely true, the views were amazing . We loved eating our meals on the deck looking out over the valley. Really clean and modern house, you would never know it has had dogs. Well equipped for all you'd need for a small family.

The perfect place to relax!
A lovely appointed, modern, bach with everything you need to have a great holiday. A BBQ, great views of the mountains, close to fantastic walking and MTB tracks and the many other attractions of Hanmer. We could literally walk out the front door and be walking/biking in the wonderful forest tracks within minutes! It was also great to be able to bring our dog with us! 😀 We'd definitely love to stay at this bach again!

Modern and clean
The accommodation is modern, clean and comfortable. It sits in a very convenient location, within 5 minutes drive to the hot springs and town centre. We enjoyed the beautiful scenery, quietness and star gazing at night.

Dog-friendly weekend away
This is the perfect spot to get away from it all with your pet. It was a girls trip away, both of us taking our mini schnauzers and the four of us could t have been happier. The place was homely and well-kept while also being dog friendly. The yard was a great size, the balcony was fitted out so pooches could go out the dog door, walk down a ramp to the yard if you popped a purpose-built piece of wood out, and as long as you shut the gate, there was no chance of them escaping the property. Pets aren't allowed on the furniture but that makes perfect sense. Great spot to walk straight out to Comical Hill and walkable to the town centre. I rate this place highly - I'd go back.
