Our first stay in Hanmer Springs. Literally across the street from the pools, close to everything.

9.0

Lovely access to a shared kitchen and a lobby fireplace. There's a coffee machine in the kitchen for free flat whites to take back to the room. That's amazing. And while the rooms are on the small size, they are well laid out and comfortable.

− Buffet breakfast on offer for tour groups, but not for individual rooms. Might be something for them to consider in the future. Not a big deal, as there are several solid restaurants within a 3 minute walk.
