WOW What A GEM!

Bronagh and I recently stayed at Village Lake Apartments. Wow, what a gem!
Everything was superbly done, from the warm greeting to the ultra cosy bed.

Hanmer Springs is a fabulous spot, only enhanced by such a great place to stay.

Fabulous Place to Stay in Hanmer!

My friend and I just recently stayed at Village Lake Apartments in Hanmer Springs. It was fabulous – total luxury and everything thought of for a very comfortable stay. We will definitely be back to stay – I would highly recommend Village Lake Apartments. The staff were also very helpful and it was set in a very serene environment, and within walking distance to the hot pools. While we were there it snowed and we could see the mountains with snow on from our lounge and bedroom windows – just gorgeous!!

Absolutely stunning apartments

We stayed in a beautiful 3 bedroom apartment and felt instantly at home. This apartment was so immaculate that we felt we were the only people who had ever stayed in it. Our room was very tastefully outfitted with everything we would want for our weekend stay with beautiful furnishings and well equipped kitchen and bathrooms. Our bed was so comfortable I wanted to take it home with me…

Fabulous. Great hosts and beautiful, warm, spotlessly clean rooms.

Warm and Comfy

Awesome place to stay with very friendly hosts. Warm and cosy on these cold winter days. Beautiful views. Very comfortable and heaps of room. Great quiet location, but central to township. Will definitely be back to stay.
