Toasty retro pad | 3-min to hot pools | Pets OK

At Seventeen on Cheltenham, we’ve dialled in the perfect mix of 70s cool, family-friendly vibes, and modern comfort. Whether you're kicking back by the log fire, flipping steaks on the BBQ, or binge-watching on the 65” Smart TV, this retro retreat is made for max relaxation and good times.

Perfect for families, couples, or a getaway with your crew – with room for up to 8 guests (plus the furry ones), you’ll be set for a legendary Hanmer stay.

🛋️ Living Room – Cosy Meets Cool
Walk into the heart of the house – the retro-inspired living room. Kick back on the three-seater, two-seater or one of two comfy occasional chairs. With a log burner as the centrepiece, this room is all about warmth and style. A built-in bookshelf, retro coffee table, and sunlit window seat set the mood for lazy afternoons and long reads.

Enjoy a flick on the 65” Smart TV, set up your laptop at the dedicated workspace, or crack out the board games and books. Step straight out to the backyard through the sliding doors for that breezy indoor-outdoor flow that Kiwis love.

🛏️ Bedrooms – Sleep Easy in Style
Four bedrooms deliver stylish slumber for everyone in your crew:

🛏️ Two main bedrooms feature king-size beds with plush headboards, built-in wardrobes and drawers, and wireless charging stations. The master bedroom has an ensuite for added privacy and comfort. Electric blankets and extra throws keep things cosy.

🧸 Two kids’ rooms: One with king single bunk beds, the other with a king single bed and loft bed above. Both rooms include nostalgic Kiwiana artwork, portable rechargeable night lamps, and heaps of space for little explorers.

👶 Porta cot available for infants (BYO bedding)

Channel your inner MasterChef in the fully equipped kitchen. We’ve got a gas hob, microwave, dishwasher, air fryer, blender, and even a coffee bar complete with a grinder, espresso machine, Nespresso machine, plunger and frother. We supply beans – you BYO pods if that’s your thing.

Enjoy meals at the classic 70s rosewood dining table that seats eight. It’s made for slow breakfasts, shared feasts, and long evening yarns.

🚿 Bathrooms – Clean & Comfy

🧼 Main bathroom: Walk-in shower, separate toilet, and all the essentials like shampoo, conditioner, moisturiser, hairdryers, towels, and washcloths. (BYO pool towels for the hot springs).

🛁 Ensuite: Shower over bath and toilet, perfect for a relaxing soak.

Plus, there’s our cheeky little “Forgot Something?” basket – stocked with bits and bobs in case you left the essentials at home.

🍖 Four-burner BBQ with utensils

🪑 Outdoor table with seating for eight
