“Edit Hanmer Springs presents a blend of relaxation and accessibility, centrally located near Hanmer Springs' attractions. The in-house Isobel's restaurant and proximity to local activities, including the hot pools, offer convenience, though some reports suggest the property is showing its age. It's a versatile option for families and event planners seeking space and a central location, but potential guests should weigh reported maintenance and service concerns.”

Acceptable Location, Disappointing Room

nice outdoor poolnon-functional plugs
The hotel had a pool, a nice amenity on a hot day.
The room felt quite old, and half of the plugs did not work (a MAJOR inconvenience).

charming stay!

easy accesslovely staffgood room
The room size was good. Access to the carport was easy! i also appreciated that the reception staff was lovely! it's close to food shops and activities, great.
There wasn't a ceiling light in the room, or the bathroom. It was only lit by bed lamps and a floor lamp. the uv bulb above the bathroom sink was the only option. Imagine that.
