Fantastic location, just a few kms from Hanmer Springs. Very quiet and peaceful spot overlooking the valley with the hills in the background. Delicious food (we ordered room service and ate in the room as it was so spacious). Great spot to relax. Spa massage treatments were great too. Would highly recommend.

We had aman amazing two night stay in the Cass suite. The room was very spacious and clean with a impressive amd comfortable bed (had the best nights sleep). We relaxed in the hot tub every chance we could get. We had a delicious dinner at the restaurant on the first night and found the reading area to chill in afterwards. All staff were incredibly helpful and made our stay a fantastic one. The hotel is a very short drive from Hanmer Springs so was ideal for what we needed. We would stay again next time we are in the area and would highly recommend.

Lovely staff. Fresh clean room and awesome spa bath in the bathroom. Love that were little instruction sheets by the spa bath and the outdoor spa. Dinner at the restaurant was beautiful although I found the herb chicken spicy but I am sensitive to spices 😂 I only had one comment/suggestion and that was to have bigger sized robes for the taller/larger men Over all awesome time and will definitely return
