The cottage is bright and spacious and has a great view of the gardens and the mountains beyond. There is plenty of parking space and you need to drive about 5 minutes to Hanmer Springs. The cottage is just off the road to Hanmer Springs so can be a bit noisy but it's fine and there's plenty of birdsong in the daytime. The resident cat and dog come over to say hello and Robin is friendly and quick to communicate.
Everything works well and it was warm and cosy over the couple of cold rainy days during our stay. The spa bath was fantastic to relax in after a day of hiking!
