Bored with standard old hotels we chose the Chalets Motel because we were looking for a bit of character. It proved to be an excellent choice. On arrival we were given a friendly welcome followed by a thorough walk through guide of the unit. The lights and heaters were already on since we arrived a little later than planned. Our... More

Away from town centre but within easy walking distance of all the attractions. Spacious accommodation with fully eqipped kitchen.. Lovely mountain views from our own small garden where we sat with a glass of wine and watched the sunset. Would definitely stay here again. More

Have stayed at other accommodation in Hanmer Springs when The Chalet Motel has been booked out and nothing compares.... My 3rd time and i rate this accommodation highly. The wonderful chalets (and on all 3 times have stayed in all 2 bedrooms but different chalets each time) are self contained with extras that other motels don't have. Great scenery, trampoline...

We stayed 3 nights at the Chalets Motel in Hanmer Springs, wish it could have been longer. Lovely spacious 2 bedroom chalet for our family of 5, without breaking the bank. Very clean, well equipped kitchen, private patio, and the kids loved the selection of sky channels. Not right in town, but a quick 5 flat minute walk, along the... More

This an absolutely lovely, quiet, clean accommodation. We were fortunate enough to stay one night and found it totally as advertised. The owners were so helpful in directing us to another motel for our second night. I would recommend this motel to friends and family. More

We only booked for one night but would definitely have stayed longer if we had the time. Hope to go back again and spend longer next time. The information pack in the room was really helpful, the place was really tidy and clean and we had a great view from our chalet. Will definitely be recommending this place to everyone. More

We enjoyed a 2 night stay while touring. The accomodation was a little dated, but clean and comfortable with a very well equipped kitchen. The chalets are individually laid out on an undulating site in an alpine garden setting giving privacy and a lovely feel to the place. The owner was very friendly and helpful, and clearly spends a lot... More
