Pleasant and enjoyment with one little hiccup.
The property is located in a prime spot with a view, close to town and is very nice on the inside. The only thing wrong was we had was no hot water for the first night but the property manager called someone in straight away to fix it. Turns out the hot water cylinder got turned off by accident. Overall we really enjoyed our stayed and would gladly come back.

Poppas 80th! A great venue for a family , very warm, cosy, and lovely views.
perfect for large groups and we could see it could sleep up to 16 people. Needs better signage. Both the caterer and our group struggled to find 28! Would recommend to others.

great family winter break
the chalet worked very well for our extended family of grandparents, four other adults and 3 preschoolers. the bedrooms accommodated us and two cots well, and the two ensuites were a bonus. the living room, kitchen and dining area were all generous and the log fire kept us warm and cosy. the mezzanine area above the living room was extra warm and provided an additional play area for the children. the driveway was not as steep as we had been lead to believe from previous reviews.

Spacious house!
The house is capable to fit in 10 people. But the entrance to the house is a bit hard for non- 4wd cars( the road is filled with pebbles and sloped ). The house is quite clean, except the previous tenant left the rubbish and dirty dishes in the dish washer machine ( not sure why no one is doing the inspection before new tenant move in). The curtain need to be changed and the ventilation of the bathroom is not functioning well and creating a noise. Can’t use the log burner to warm the house at night, because the size of the log is too big to burn. And the burner is full of ashes. It will be good, if the owner provide the bathroom mat and provide a rubbish bin ( to prevent the cats digging the rubbish from the rubbish bag).

Large home good for groups
Overall we had a good stay at the chalet. The place was big enough for our group (3 couples, 4 kids and 2 babies) with the bedrooms on different levels and the lounge large enough for the kids to play and adults to chat. It is also an easy stroll to town and has great views over Hanmer Springs. The main downside was the cleanliness of the house. It seems that it is only cleaned by the previous guests as there is a level of residual dirt in the house, the surfaces are dusty and it feels like the place needs a good spring clean. Unfortunately the gas bottle was also empty so we had to go and get this filled ourselves which we were reimbursed for.

Large well equipped home perfect for family gathering in Hanmer. Communication from property manager is poor. I only had one question relating to the gas bottle, the home owner confirmed I would not need one. However when I got there we realised there was no gas.

Hanmer property review
Photo looked clean and presentable but Our impression was that it needed maintenance Curtains, bedding, garden, windows all need a good go-over. Difficulty locking a warped front door - need doorknob Some pillows need dumping. Kitchen and bathrooms good though Plenty of space and especially a good number of bedrooms. Beds were comfortable.
