Shirley has a lovely, modern, clean and comfortable house in Hanmer. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. From the minute we arrived, we lit the fire and generally relaxed the first night. There is a heat pump in the hallway which also made sure we were warm and toasty. The bathrooms have excellent water pressure and the beds are comfy!
The house is just a short walk away from the centre of Hanmer and the hot pools. If you are dining out I would recommend making a booking if you have a particular restaurant or time in mind. I wish we had made a booking earlier as we were in Hanmer for my birthday and couldn't get into the lovely new restaurant that we wanted. My fault entirely! Hanmer is a small town but deceptively busy! You don't realize how many people arrive in town for the weekends!
All in all, I will definitely be booking at Shirley's again. Excellent communication and Shirley was delightful to deal with. Thanks Shirley!
