Hosts were amazing and property is so cosy and home like with a gorgeous inviting lounge area and even a kitchen to prepare food if you need to. Rooms are immaculately clean and modern. Definitely will be the only place I stay in Hanmer every time. Right across from pools as well and the hotel provides beach towels for convenience too!
