Relaxing and lovely to be so close to the centre allowing our younger teens to be able to have freedom to do their own t
Pros:

Proximity
We have stayed here a lot when it was owned by the previous owners and really enjoyed our stay in every way which was why we picked it again.

Cons:

The units definitely need some work. We had a kitchen draw front missing, broken fridge door and vege container, noticeable marks on the walls and carpet.
It was clean and the beds were very comfortable but the standard as a whole was not to same level as what it had been when we had stayed there previously.

Fantastic apartment in a beautiful location

Fantastic location, close to the many activities available in Hanmer Springs. The on-site manager was very helpful and responsive. When we were late arriving, he called ahead to make sure all was ok and then waited for us to arrive. The apartment is spacious, modern, clean and great value for money.

Superb comfort and location for families
Pros:

I have stayed here quite a few times over the past and is always my first choice due to the comfort and location the apartments offer and I also love the May Chang shampoo/conditioner and handwash they supply and nice to see this hasn't changed over the years, also great to support local businesses.

Cons:

The beds are too soft, I have said this before.
