Nice big rooms, great water pressure in shower, great location. Bathroom was not clean sorry - more so that items from previous customer were not removed. Staff at check in/checkout were pleasant, but weren’t forthcoming with local information. Breakfast was disappointing.

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.
