Amuri Estate Luxury Lodge 5 stars

Hanmer Springs

Set on 26 acres, Amuri Estate Luxury Lodge offers accommodation with free WiFi. There is a guest lounge with a fireplace and a large patio offering stunning mountain and river views. Guests will receive a complimentary welcome cheese platter and local bottle of wine. The location is very scenic. To wake up to a sunrise over mountain ranges and the fields across from the lodge was a great experience. There was only one other family at the lodge on the night that we stayed, so we pretty much had the entire house for ourselves. The house was very well maintained. The library, kitchen, patio, the room, everything was just perfect. The hosts welcomed us with a bottle of local wine and cheese and fruits platter. They gave us great information about the area. Everything was just perfect

A stand alone very chic, beautifully designed 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom bungalow cottage in the grounds of the owners property but completely private. With a lovely outside area, lawn, seating area outside, BBQ and outdoor chairs. The whole house is stylish, elegant and modern with everything you might need for a stay. A very helpful owner on hand to answer any questions. The beds were also very comfy.
