Awesome location for the family. Lovely outlook and close to everything. The home had everything you needed on a hot and cold day and all the comforts of home. Would certainly recommend
We had space for all the family, and the beds were comfortable A daughter left her own mattress protectors on 2 child beds, and sorting that out later with owner was easy
Beautiful family home in top location, great views, too. The home is managed by a third party and, while we were told by this third party there will be 24/7 support, big note on the kitchen bench with their 24/7 number, when we really really needed it with no hot water and 2 kids under the cold showers - there was no reply to a number of phone calls.It was during the week at around 8pm. We eventually figured it out ourselves. It pains me writing this here as the owners provide a well equipped beautiful home but when professionals, who get paid good money for what they are doing, don't do what they promise, they need to be called out. The home itself deserves 5 stars, the owners deserve 5 stars and the 3rd party provider only gets 3 stars.
My family and I (4 couples) stayed for 3 nights while attending a family wedding held over 2 days.The home was perfect for us, with loads of space for everyone. A great location , a short walk into town and great restuarants and shopping.Will definitely come again.
An ideal site.Walking distance to town.Great warm clean accommodation .Nice drive to the NZ sheep dog trials at Lochiel Station. The hot pools were fun.We will be back again.Thank you
We absolutely loved our stay. This is the best accommodation I've ever stayed in. The location was completely unbeatable! Amazing deck. Very warm house. Perfect for our group including teens and adults. Excellent large dining table for many hours of evening board games.

Holiday break
The location was excellent, and once we had warmed the place up, it was very nice to stay, especially the lounge area. However it was very frustrating to have to bring towels and either bring or rent sheets. As someone who came from overseas, this was not readily accessible. I think the no sheets/towels information should be placed early on the search, not in the final general comment.
Great location, lovely deck. We had a wonderful time😁

We are so pleased you enjoyed our house, it’s in a great spot to park up and enjoy Hanmer. I’m so sorry the website let you down, I know they were doing a few changes around that time, and I’m sure it would be fine next time.
