Perfect place to stay if you are visiting Hanmer Springs as its only 10 minute drive away. Waking up to the sun beaming through the window of our room was perfection. Could... More

Wallace Peak Cottage - A retreat that offers fabulous views and only minutes from Hanmer but you feel like you are in your own little world. Situated so that you have all day sun and sheltered from the wind. Nothing nicer than having a superb breakfast looking out at the mountains after a good nights sleep in a comfy bed... More

We stayed in a king room and it was beautifully decorated. On arrival we were treated to a glass of wine and some cheese with... More
