Convenient location, lovely service
Convenient location within walking distance of the water park. Lovely helpful manager who let us park our car on site before check in. Interiors are a little dated but still perfectly functional, very spacious rooms and comfy beds. Did our laundry for $4 which was super convenient.

Motel room was very clean and well looked after, our family room had plenty of space for everyone. A short walk to Hanmer attractions and many restaurant choices.

Really needs updating in every way. Old school decor, linen etc. Car parking under a carport away from room was also annoying. Only thing this place has is location but Hanmer has plenty of other options also closeby.

Good place
Room 208. Fantastic host. Get fee towels and bag for hot pools. Place is certainly dated. But was very clean and good undercover parking. Room with kitchen was excellent. Heating was ok in room but bathroom freezing. Electric blankets a bonus. Tv good channels. Felt safe and would definitely stay again.

Delightful units that are easy walking distance from the pools, shops, dining etc. This is an older property with very dated elements, however impeccably clean and quite charming.
The only real negative for us was the bathroom - very cramped, particularly the shower - definitely not recommended for taller/larger people!
