Spacious and brand new but soulless. Our view was of a vacant lot complete with derelict vehicles and a garage or hangar with broken windows. Not worth the expense.

A great place to stay!
This was a very good place. The staff were very friendly and helpful and provided good information on the location (including a very interesting sculpture walk). The unit was comfortable and had everything that was needed.

10/10 Exceptional

An excellent motel, very close to central Hanmer Springs (and an easy walk to the hot pools, and to Monteiths Brew Bar. I especially like that the room had real (plunger) coffee - not instant. (Everyone, repeat after me: Instant 'coffee' is not coffee!) From now on, this will be my preferred motel whenever I visit Hanmer Springs.
