My family were very comfortable staying here for the two nights we spent in Hanmer. The beds were very comfy and everything was lovely and clean. The staff were very friendly. It was great to be able to have the use of the motel towels for the pools to save us travelling with wet ones. A new frypan that sits flat on the element would make cooking a lot easier. We would recommend staying here.

Awesome location, great parking & the room and general premises were very clean and tidy. Ella was amazing and even after we'd checked out she saw us in town and reminded me that we had left a pillow behind. We will definitely stay here again. 10/10.
