a lovely quiet place to stay. Yet still in centre of Hamner but away from the bizz of the town. Easy walking to restaurants , bars & pools. Room was very clean and very comfortable. Really enjoyed our stay there.

This is the perfect stay for your Hamner Springs getaway. Large, comfortable, clean room on a beautiful piece of property. Walking distance to everything. The owners are so kind and friendly. We were so happy with our choice to stay here and would definitely stay here again if we returned. Do not hesitate, this place is simply perfect.

This was a cute little cottage in the grounds of a lovely old gracious home. It had all the amenities and was very private and quiet. Close to the town and all cafes and restaurants. Just across the road from the hot springs!

The property is in a delightful garden setting, facilities are older but very clean and tidy. No dining facilities ( specifically breakfast ) at the hotel but only a short walk to other cafes
tony, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We had a comfortable, warm and a very pleasant three nights in the studio, with the owners being very helpful. We had to leave early for the ferry and unfortunately didn't have a chance to say thanks to them or fatewell. A very central place to stay in a lovely garden.
Prue, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice for 1 night stopover

Stayed in a garden room. Nice and quiet away from the main house and street. Not serving breakfast due to hosts wanting guests to support the local businesses, which is understandable. Just a short walk to the hot pools and towels are supplied by your hosts. Monteiths Bar short walk on the on corner is great for a pub style meal and good beer.
Shanene, 1-night trip

Advertising on the websight should more accurately reflect the current available option for accommodation. The current web sight is misleading.
