Hanmer Glamping in Hanmer Springs provides adults-only accommodation with a garden and barbecue facilities. There is a private entrance at the luxury tent for the convenience of those who stay. The luxury tent also features free WiFi, free private parking and facilities for disabled guests. Amazing! I literally have no words – this place blew my mind. Steve and Joanna are so warm and genuine, and you can see their love in every single detail of the setup. It’s like they thought of everything before I even knew I wanted it. The hot tub under the stars was unforgettable, the sunrise soak was just as amazing, and the morning coffee was perfect. Truly a 10/10 stay.

The luxury tent has a flat-screen TV. The kitchen comes with an oven, a microwave and a toaster and there is a private bathroom with bathrobes and a hair dryer. The property has an outdoor dining area. We had friends visiting from Vancouver and we were all blown away by this unique setup and location. Great communication from owner. Yurt would be beautiful for a romantic getaway. It has one very large at least king size bed the other bed for us was a pull out couch which was very comfortable. Have a great kitchenette, all facilities, just need to bring milk for tea and coffee which is provided. Fridge ,bbq etc. Nice modern shower and toilet. This is outside the yurt, but well lit with sensor solar lights. So 4 adults have a very comfortable stay. The view and location are just fabulous you can walk down the the beach in around 5mins (there are a few stairs to do this) and when you get there its just stunning. We walked to the local pub for dinner and they did a pretty decent basic dinner. We really enjoyed this stay would highly recommend and will be back. Thanks

The yurt was spacious, comfortable, clean, and so cozy! The garden is lovely with a few down to the sea. The stars at night were stunning. Loved the open air tub! The kitchen is very well stocked and very functional. Overall just a lovely place. My only complaint was that we only booked for one night, I wish I could have stayed longer!

The luxury tent has a flat-screen TV. The kitchen is fitted with a dishwasher, an oven and a microwave and there is a private bathroom with bathrobes and a hair dryer. For added privacy, the accommodation has a private entrance and is protected by full-day security. Great location looking out over the vineyards. Close enough to Cromwell and Bannockburn but very private. The Domes have an awesome setup with everything we needed. Sandy and Steve were fantastic hosts and made us feel very welcome. Thanks for having us!
