The view of the surrounding hills is wonderful. The house is warm, clean and full of every amenity you will need. We enjoyed the fire as the late April night temperature dropped towards freezing. As the view suggests, you are near the top of the hill behind Hanmer but we found the walk into town (and, more importantly, back) easy, taking 10 - 12 minutes each way. There is a walkway from the cul-de-sac immediately below the house through to the next street which cuts out a bit of a loop on the road and saves a couple of minutes. And if you want to walk up Conical Hill (as you should), walk uphill from the house to the end of the road and pick up the marked track that cuts across to the main Conical Hill track, saving several minutes again.
We'll look to stay here again next time we're in Hanmer.
