About this property
Peaceful and private bach just a few minutes walk to village centre and pools
You and your family or friends will be close to everything when you stay at our peaceful yet centrally located house. It's located on one of Hanmer's oldest and most established streets and offers a quintessential Kiwi bach experience. Nestled among trees and across the road from the Hanmer Forest, the house is private and quiet but just a couple of minutes walk from the pools and village centre. The bach is full of character, comfortable and well appointed, including a full kitchen, and a log burner, heaters and electric blankets for the winter months. There is a master bedroom and a second bedroom with beds on the lower and mezzanine floors (accessible by a ladder) which ideal for children. Linen and towels are provided for guests. The property has generous gardens and lawns at the front and back of the house, offering both sun and shade.
Whether you want a relaxing or active stay, our house is an ideal gateway to all that Hanmer has to offer. The forest across the road offers great walking and mountain biking opportunities and the birdsong is lovely in the mornings and evenings.
As a family we've enjoyed this house for over 40 years and we know you will too.

The sun poured into the kitchen/dining/lounge which when arriving in the middle of winter was fab.
