Stayed for the night with my son. Excellent spot across the road from the hot pools. The rooms were good. We got the cheapest room so it wasn't the biggest but had a good comfy bed decent shower and tea and coffee making gear. The best bit was the large open area with leather lounges in front of the big... More

Stayed for one night to visit the pools which were just across the road. We had a ground floor room with a spa bath. The room did look a little tired and there were no cooking facilities in it. However there was a large kitchen for guests use with an abundance of utensils and crockery and microwave fridge hob etc.... More

We stayed here for one night during the Easter break. The location can't be faulted, it's across the road from the hot pools, and central to everything. The lounge, dining area and kitchen are great, well looked after, clean and cosy. The open fire was a lovely touch too. The room itself was looking a little dated, but the bed... More

This place seems to have gone downhill a bit in tha last few years. However it is apparently under new ownership so things will hopefully improve Tha kitchen is great as is the dining area. They supply everything you need to cook your own food which given the standard of food in Hanmer is usually the best bet Location is... More

I stayed one night in their 'single' room. The room was a pretty small, but the price was right. They are just across the road from the Hot Pools and not far from Restaurants. Staff were friendly. More

The had forgetten to make up the sofa... More

We stayed here three years ago and the whole place was immaculate and the service was excellent - unfortunately we cannot say the same again this trip. On arrival we were told our room was upstairs at the end of the hall, and that the external door would be the closest access. This door was locked and we were told... More
