"I cannot recommend this place highly enough. If you’re in Hanmer, this place is a must to stay at. The hosts Rhys and Rayone were so accommodating, so friendly and their attention to detail was incredible. They made my wife and I feel right at home. Their dogs Rufus and Reeva were so cuddly and adorable and friendly. The rooms were warm, cosy and I’d go back just for the shower! One of the best showers I’ve had! The locally sourced breakfast was delicious and the view in the morning was breathtaking. If I could, I’d rate it more stars!" - Jonathan
