A wonderful location next to the Hanmer Forest...you step out of the large, opening to the deck and step down into the forest to the trail right by Dog Stream. We sat out on the deck listening to the cicadas and the stream one evening. We loved staying and not having to get in the car again as it's a very quick walk to the main street, the pools and the walking/mountain bike trails. Our children loved the room with the bunkbed as it's a spacious room with lots of light. We stayed in the summer, but there's a heat pump, wood fire and heaters in each room that would keep you nice and toasty for a winter's visit...which is now on our holiday list. Will definitely stay again.
