    Great couple's privacy nestled in the forest at the bottom of Conical Hill.

    Kitchen knives. Did a previous guest steal some? Sky TV continually had error message "No connection due to atmospheric conditions" despite the weather clearing up to be pristine on the 2nd day. This was minor as we weren't there for TV, and if so, we still got into Netflix.

    The cleanliness was exceptional. Location. Views. Privacy. Hot bath on balcony. Fitout comfort. Gas stove.

    Honestly, nothing! The kitchen was well stocked and we didn't want to leave so we made breakfast for ourselves each morning instead of going out to eat. Love Hanmer is a blissful cocoon with a private view of the mountains. You will never want to leave!

    Everything was perfect. The fittings are all of the highest quality and everything was thought of. The fire was ready to light with plenty of paper, kindling and wood available to keep it going. We enjoyed our stay immensely.

    My wife and I stayed here for a weekend and had a fantastic time. The chalet is very well finished with all the accessories you need - there is even a coffee machine! The location is great and the views from the deck are stunning. We particularly enjoyed the outdoor bath and the view of the stars in the evenings was incredible! We would highly recommend!

    Would have loved a deck of cards or a board game available, we ended up going and buying some in town.

    Very beautiful house, we enjoyed the outdoor bath under the stars. Unfortunately I forgot to take a photo of the stars, I went back out later but the clouds were covering them :( We were lucky enough to get engaged in the house too, so we will definitely be back!

    Nothing not to like.

    Beautiful view from balcony and because the house was set back a bit from next door properties you couldn't see them from the balcony giving a feeling of being in the wilderness.

    Probably a little too far to walk into the village for dinner. No air con in the bedroom.

    Great location and felt very private. Very luxurious and modern space. The balcony and outside bath were great and the night skies amazing. Hot pools were fantastic.

    It smelt a little musty / stuffy each time we entered the home but got used to it after being inside.

    The location, the privacy of the home, the outside spa bath. The hosts were very helpful and responsive. Lots of space inside. Good value, would highly recommend.

    The air was extremely dry. There was extreme winds which caused the power to go out. This was no problem but only 1 of the 3 flashlights in the house worked.

    The retreat was located just outside of the main town which ment it was nice and quiet but easy to get to the shops if you needed to. The outside bathtub was an amazing place to watch the stars. The fireplace was amazing. It really brought the place together. The stove was a gas stove which is always enjoyable to cook on.

    There wasn't an oven tray.. its really my only negative. So that's pretty good isn't it. Every other thing you could need from a kitchen was there!

    Its 2 minutes from the pools and the shops. But in a secluded part so you feel like your miles away from everything. It's lovely and quiet. I found myself often just sitting looking at the trees on the surrounding peaks. Reset my whole mind it was so peaceful. The house itself pretty much has everything you could need. It's beautiful in there too. The owners have obviously put a lot of effort into making your stay amazing.
