You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Affordable & cosy alpine cabin - an ideal couples retreat with outdoor bath!

Tucked away on the forest's edge, this little cabin is the perfect place to escape to.

The location is 1.2 km from the township - a peaceful spot yet only a ten-minute stroll to the hub of Hanmer. The cabin is new and, although it is small, it is quick to heat and has everything you need - a comfy queen-sized bed, smart tv, modern bathroom and a well-equipped kitchenette.

Enjoy relaxing out under the stars in the outdoor bath on your own private deck.

If you want a break away in nature that doesn't break the bank - this is for you.
If you want a simple base from which you can explore many bike and tramping trails - this is for you.
If you want to spend your time enjoying the cafes and restaurants of Hanmer and only really need a small kitchen - this is for you.

Tiny house under the stars

Cute wee cabin at the foot of Conical Hill. Good access to walking tracks and an easy stroll or short drive to the village. A bit of a tight squeeze (as advertised) but the cabin surrounds were lovely and we spent some time star gazing after sunset. Also dog friendly which was a winner for us!

Tiny home delight

Good for overnight stay.Loved the outdoor bath. We ate out which I would recommend as it’s a bit tight for a couple to do anything in the kitchen.

Extraterrestrial

Sometimes you just need to sit in the rain in an outdoor bath, and that's exactly what we did. Nice wee space, thoughtful privacy screens and placement. It gets extraterrestrial on the second bath of the night.

Lovely bach, just read pdf clearly :)

This place was clean, tidy, and modern. It was ideal for a short stay in Hanmer. Only qualm was that sheets and pillowcases were not provided, though this is mentioned in the detailed pdf the host makes available. Would recommend :)

This little tiny home is a great location to nearby Hanmer Springs attractions, trails and wildlife. The tiny home is compact, functional and has a great outdoor tub (if you need more soaking after the geothermal pools in town!). As advertised, linens and towels are on-your-own. It works!

Not exactly dog friendly....

I booked this place because it was dog friendly, however, the boundary to the neighbouring property was only about 1-2 metres from the cabin and without any fencing it was too tempting for my dogs to run onto the neighbouring property - and then I was threatened with having the council called on me. So it was not as relaxing for me as it should have been. I had to spend 90 to create a dog run so they could still be outside but couldn't go far. Shame, because the grounds were so lovely. I'm one of those people who takes their dog on holiday and putting them on a lead at home isn't really the vibe I was after. I wouldn't stay again for this reason, but I realise I'm the weird one! The cabin was delightful, the bath outside was incredible. But the neighbours... nah.
