Impeccably clean, warm and comfortable and the most amazing view from the deck. Convenient access to Conical Hill walkway right from the back garden and easy to walk into Hanmer Springs itself.

Great Location

The House was decent with a good fire and a heat pump. The two main bedrooms were spacious and featured nice beds. Location is great just 5-10 mins walk to all locat attreations. The bunk beds were squeaky and kept people awake. This wouldn't be an issue if the top bunks where not in use.Arriving at the property was confusing as the entrance is off a completely different street and no information was given about how to find the property other than the adress and that street number no longer exists? I used google maps satalite view to locate the driveway in the end.The internet connection was good & the lounge area was well appointed with a nice TV, games, & a nice collection of DVD's and musicSome information about what to do when leaving the property would also be an advantage.
