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.

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

Man running the place is so lovely. Its just a shame that the place is run down and dirty. Our dishes were dirty and we had to clean them before using them. Lots of broken tbings in our room, leaking fridge and sink.
I understand its a cheap place to stay but it should be clean
