8/10 Very Good

Staff were friendly, helpful, approachable, well presented. Thank you for all your good work in running this establishment. Room and bathroom size roomy which was great. Bed very comfy. Great view and privacy (1st floor room). Lovely and airy - Hear Native birds all around. Nice! Cleanliness was really good (exception of plug but you did not see until removing plug!) - no odors, just fresh country air! Things that would have lifted a star rating -found hair under handbasin plug ; wobbly door handle ; carpet seemed bit tired; one side of net curtain didn't pull easily. Overall we enjoyed our stay, and felt very comfortable in surroundings. Felt refreshed and relaxed, which made our stay in Hanmer Springs so much better!
