About this property

Hanmer Tree House - unique location on forest edge

This holiday home in Hanmer Springs is the perfect place to relax in the thermal pools, check out boutique shops and restaurants, bike and walk or run the numerous trails or get amongst the thrill-seeking activities. The Hanmer Tree House sits on 0.6450 ha in a unique location, surrounded by forest reserve. This property has the space to picnic under trees on the grass or to let the kids and pets run free! (Please note that it is not fully fenced). You are welcome to pop a tent up in the summer. It is quiet and private yet only a 10 minute stroll into the centre of town.

There is an awesome stainless/cedar outdoor bath on the deck, with views to the mountains and the amazing night sky. The house also has a loft area with a single mattress that kids love to play in. While it sleeps 6, it is best suited to a maximum of 5 adults as there are only 2 bedrooms and the living area is quite small. If you need room for more please check out the "Apple Tree Cabin" listing on bookabach - this is a wee cabin on wheels next door to the main house that can be booked separately - it is self contained with a queen-sized bed, ensuite and kitchenette and it's own outdoor bath. This can be added to your booking for $100 a night - just flick us a message if you'd like to add it.
There are awesome walking and mountain biking tracks just over the fence (we have one adult mountain bike and some kids' bikes that you are free to use). There are board games, a plastic toddler playground and a hammock.
Special conditions:
Smoking allowed outside only
Pets are most welcome but please keep outside of house unless you can promise no damage to internal furnishings and no dog hair left behind. There is a medium sized dog kennel (no run).
Loft not recommended for pre-schoolers due to the height.
House must be left as found - ie, guests are expected to clean and tidy on departure.
NO PARTIES - Zero tolerance for parties, any wilful damage from parties will result in Police involvement and potential charges.

Extras: Linen (included); NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to: Clean the house and do the dishes before you leave (ie, leave it as you found it); You will also need to wash and dry the linen used before your 11 am departure (washing machine, powder and dryer provided). Alternatively you can pay byo linen/sleeping bags or pay extra to hire linen which will be dropped off and collected so that you don't need to wash and dry it.

Great spot
Great spot. Not too far to walk to town. House had everything we needed. Only complaint is that the walking track in the forest beside the house has a good view of the outdoor bath. A wee screen would be great to provide more privacy.

Hanmer 2n stay
Overall great although the policy on linen and towels being washed and dried before checkout is not something I am used to from anywhere else I have stayed. Funny, my mother asked me where I stayed in Hanmer and it turned out she and my sister stayed in the same place several months ago !

Beautiful forest location
We loved this little, well appointed tree house and its location, close to town centre but surrounded by trees. We were surprised by a number of walkers that took the wrong turn on their forest track and ended up on our driveway. Regrettably the previous occupants had not cleaned up after themselves, but otherwise we had a very enjoyable stay.

Welcoming home away from home
Wonderful location you really feel like you are in the forest. Batch had everything you need for a great weekend away. The hot tub is a bonus. Wonderful log fire and wood provided heats the whole house. Walking and bike track to Conical hill right on the boundary. 2-3 minutes car trip into heart of the village. Thoroughly recommended for couples and families. Host replies quickly to any questions and is very helpful.

What makes this property unique

Backs onto the Majuba walkway and a stone's throw to mountain bike tracks. Our guests love the tub on the deck and the location - nestled among the trees and quiet with no neighbours - away from the hustle and bustle of the township - yet only a couple of mins by car into the shops.
