An adequate place to stay in Hanmer.
The property is not modern and you get what you pay for. Quite okay for a place to overnight.

Lovely staff. Clean room. More coffees would've been good but i feel I could've asked for more if it wasn't 5 am! The bed needs updating...roll together going on but it did the trick and we will definitely stay again.

Excellent place to stay, only drawback is the paper thin walls so if you have loud neighbors, you'll hear everything (we had a snorer)....owner is great, very nice

This is a very tired motel in need of refurbishment. Parts of the bathroom and toilet were falling to bits, tiles and walls separating, cobwebs
