Great place to stay. However our room wasn't very clean and it really stunk of cigarette smoke. Liked how close it was to the center of Hanmer.

Wonderful private cabins, with a bedroom, sitting area & kitchen.. Close proximity to the Hamner Thermal Springs & town. Outdoor setting that we enjoyed just before sunset. The kitchen is well equipped to make a meal if you so desire. The staff is friendly & helpful. The accommodation is spotless & comfortable. Highly recommended staying here!

Our 2 bedroom chalet was perfect for our family of five. Kids all in own bedroom with 3 x single beds, all with reading lights over the beds. Our room had double bed plus space in wardrobe to store suitcases. Full kitchen with fridge, oven and microwave that we used each day, and very helpful hosts with information and chalet supplies. Newspaper on our doorstep each morning. Highly recommended.

I loved that you where left to enjoy your holiday but if anything you need then you just had to ask. You got privacy when needed. Only thing I could fault with the room was the queen bed. Felt more like a double and abit hard. Maybe king beds or a topper added for more comfortable sleep.
