Erin's cottage is very convenient to central Hanmer Springs, and backs on to a wonderful nature reserve with lots of trees. The house itself has a cute, retro feel, and is decorated charmingly. It is spacious, with two living rooms, a dining nook, a modest kitchen, and 3 possible bedrooms. While we stayed here for a bit over a month, the house was mid-renovation: new drywall had been mudded and casings had been put on, but not everything had been painted yet. We also experienced a bit of a leak when it rained very hard and a couple mice guests, but we understand this is an old house. Overall it was great value for our stay in Hanmer Springs.
