Hanmer Springs Gateway Lodge
Wotif Verified Review
5 / 5
We stayed an extra 2 days due to bad weather and closed roads. Nothing was a problem and we were looked after very well. I don't usually write reviews but the people here really do go the extra mile and I've never had an experience like it before! :-)
