Hanmer Springs

10/10 Excellent

Taking into consideration, the price, the location and the quality of the accommodation this must be the best place in Hanmer Springs. Just across the road from the thermal pools and less that 100 metres from good pubs and restaurants. We liked Drifters Inn so much that this is the 2nd time that we have stayed here in 6 months.
