Love the Love Nest

This was the second time we've stayed there. It's so cosy and private - and with the fire in the winter, very, very cosy. It's also very well equipped with everything you need.

Would go again. A small hob for cooking would’ve been useful. Microwave is quite limiting if eating in.

Hanmer springs cabin

Overal a lovely cabin. Well presented and a lot of love. Only thing. The cabin is quite close proximity to other cabins and not as private as expected. But a lovely job. Really nice people. Great service. Quality furnishings.

If you want somewhere quiet and private, this is it!

If you want somewhere quiet and private, this is it! So nice to find somewhere to stay almost without neighbours! Also well-placed to get to lovely walks in the Woodlands area but only 5-10 minutes to the downtown area by foot. This cottage has been beautifully refurbished which made our time there so pleasant. It had everything we needed and the bath is a special plus!! Perfect for a special get-away.

Lovenest cottage is even better than the pictures!

Lovenest cottage is even better than the pictures! The cottage has everything you need, is warm and cosy and includes lovely wee touches like candles and chocolates. The bath is divine! Highly recommend and we hope to return very soon!
