Short but sweet stay

It was our first time staying at Hanmer Springs and Daniel's home was the perfect spot to roost. It was near the walking trails and a short drive or a very nice leisurely long walk into town. We loved the fireplace and the views. Overall, it was a cozy, comfortable stay. Thank you for sharing your home!
