The hanmer springs retreat was a great place to stay - the retreat is very large and open in the living spaces and very clean and modern. Less the a 1min car drive to the centre of town we made full use of the natural springs and the local tourist stuff like quad bikes and clay shooting :) Shirley was very good at arranging things for us as we there later then we expected but was not inconvenienced at all. Very happy and hope to be back soon
