Wow! Isobel's on Scarborough was the perfect Air BnB experience and we have unique proof! We originally booked for one night and were pleased to see all the features for such an affordable price. A private kitchen, lounge, and bathroom plus Cable TV(a rarity in our experience)! They also had fast WiFi and a selection of DVD'S to accompany the player. They also had both electric heat and a fireplace.
Late that night there was a historic earthquake nearby - 7.5 magnitude. We were absolutely charmed to have our host hustle out and check on us while the neighbors all ran around and checked on each other. It really went to show how special both our host and the people of Hanmer Springs are. The power was out and they offered us oatmeal and tea in the morning even though it's not included. The bridge and roads were out and they graciously welcomed us for another night. We snuggled by the fireplace and watched a movie that night, grateful to be so taken care of even through an earthquake :)
