Homely and Relaxing.
This property was a great place to relax. Was so nice to have our wee dog stay with us and be able to relax in this fuss free home. The sun drenched deck was a real treat.

Relaxing Hanmer
This is the 3rd time we’ve used properties from this owner & second time renting this property. This property is great for us - size wise with 2 seperate lounges. House is warm with loads of dry wood to fuel the wood burner. 1 of only a couple of fully fenced properties so dogs are secure. Recommend this property.
