Had a great stay - room was very clean and comfy and a huge bonus was having sky tv (including sports) in the room! Rooms were warm and surprisingly quiet between the rooms, the only noise in the morning with people leaving early eg slamming car doors etc. We were a little apprehensive to stay just given some of the previous reviews but honestly for Hanmer prices we felt like we got really good value - it’s not a brand new modern motel but the price reflects this and so long as people go in knowing they aren’t staying at the Ritz there shouldn’t be any issue. The hosts were very friendly and helpful also. We would definitely stay again.

An adequate place to stay in Hanmer.
