Great family holiday home

It was great to be able to take our dogs. Nice fenced off area for the dogs to play. Spacious bedrooms to accommodate their crates. Walking distance to shop, pool and dog exercise areas. Kitchen is well equipped. Choice between heat pump or log fire. Highly recommend.

Great weekend away.

Great house for 2 families, just what we needed. Parking was a little tight for a van, with neighbors so close but we still managed. Water pressure in showers not great but over all house was just what we needed. Clean, tidy and great games dvds to keep kids entertained. Great distance from town. Really enjoyed our stay. Thank you.

Winter festival

Great stay - lovely warm house easy to find and good off street parking. It’s not a private house and you get a bit of noise from other houses around, you can hear them banging around. It wouldn’t put us off staying again however. Be great if the DVD worked in the lounge or you had a smart tv where we could watch our own Netflix. Fire was great and lots of dry firewood. Beds had nice linen on them and lovely white towels too. Thank you

A great property for our family visit, clean, warm and had everything we needed. Only slight issue was the access code we were supplied was incorrect and the revised code we were given was also incorrect, however we got it sorted and enjoyed the rest of our stay very much.

Good house

Easy going house. Pictures are accurate. Floors were in need of more of a vacuum when we arrived. Lock box number had been changed but a call to the number solved that easily. Would’ve been nice to have more toilet paper as 7 people staying for theee nights. Otherwise a really good stay and a good location. Thanks

Good location but lacking supplies and cleanliness of kitchen

Did the job, great location but was disappointed in lack of supplies. No rubbish bags were supplied for inside bin and outside bin was already full on arrival. Most dishes needed cleaning before using which always just makes the place feel dirty. They were pretty gross. Plug for kitchen sink is mouldy and perishing. x1 tiny soap in the bathroom and only 2x tea towels for the whole stay with no dishwasher and x8 people using dishes. Same with towels, no extras provided just 1x towel each per person for the whole stay, on a wet weekend. Just felt a bit stingy and hard to keep things clean and nice.

Nice stay in Hanmer

The house is in a great location, quiet residential area a short walk from town. It is overlooked a close to neighbours on all sides but that was clear in the listing and didn’t stop our enjoyment of it. Good size for a family of 4.
