A voyage of discovery awaits when you stay at the exclusive Marchmont Gardens
Bed and Breakfast in the beautiful Alpine destination of Hanmer Springs.
  
You can enjoy one of our two self-contained luxurious private suites which are separate from the main house.  Both have garden views and uninterrupted mountain vistas. Breakfast will be served in your suite or in the garden at your requested time. 

Take an easy 10 minute walk to the village, thermal pools and spa or stroll down the garden path to the golf course. 
Spend some relaxing time enjoying our gardens.

The most common feedback we get is “I wished we had stayed longer”.  You will want to stay at Marchmont Gardens for at least two days!
Breakfast
“What a sweet hostess, a beautiful, impeccable property, with EVERY need anticipated and services rendered.

Comfortable bed, perfect bathroom and kitchen facilities, excellent air conditioning! Slept like the dead and awoke to a grand breakfast
fixed by a woman who is a perfectionist and gourmet cook.”
 PAT REARDON AND GENE WINCHESTER, MYSTIC, USA

Enjoy one of Jan’s world class breakfasts.
Because we use fresh ingredients, breakfast is only available if pre-booked.
The easiest way to do this is by choosing the Bed & Breakfast option when making your booking (rather than Self Cater).
You can choose from any of the following:

Luxurious Private Suites

The two garden suites boast beautiful views across the garden and up to the snowy peaks of Mt Dunblane and Mt Isobel.

Each suite has its own kitchenette with kettle/toaster/microwave/fridge. All you would need to make a simple meal or have takeaways. A BBQ is also available for guest use. Both suites have TV/DVD and a DVD library for your entertainment.

Waffle weave cotton robes, bathroom accessories, and comfortable lounge chairs are all part of the experience. For those needing to keep in touch, there is free wireless internet. Breakfast can be enjoyed either inside your suite or better still, al fresco in the garden to breathe in the fresh mountain air.

Dining Out

Activities

​Hanmer Springs Activities

If you have limited time in Hanmer Springs, there are a number of activities that can be undertaken that will cost you nothing but will reward you greatly, and do not take too much time.  These include:
Take a walk up Conical Hill for fantastic views across the Hanmer Basin and surrounds.  The lookout at the top of Conical Hill can be seen from your Apartment patio at about 2 o’clock.  The return walk will take around 30 – 40 minutes if you drive to the track start. 

For those who prefer a longer walk, about half way down on your return from Connical Hill summit, look for the side track that is signposted the Majuba Walk.  This joins the Woodland Trail to Squirrel Lake.  A lovely area to explore.

If you have less time or want a less strenuous walk, drive to the Brooke Dawson Park and have a stroll along the Dog Stream Trail.

These walks are detailed on the Hanmer Springs Map.  If there is not one of these in your Studio, pick one up from reception

Mountain Biking.  There are many mountain bike trails around the area requiring different levels of fitness and expertise.  A map of the mountain bike trails is available from the Information Centre at the Hot Springs complex. 

We have a men’s and ladies mountain bike here that can be used free of charge.
 
Take time to walk around our lovely gardens.  These are our gardens, but also your gardens while you stay with us.  It is a very relaxing experience.  Take as many photos as you want as a reminder of your stay with us.

Drive to the top of Jacks Pass for fantastic views of the Hanmer Basin and down the other side to the Clarence River.  For those of you who are more energetic, park your car at the pass and walk to the top of either Mt Isobel or Mt Dunblane. 
Allow a few hours for this.  You will need to be fit!

Sit outside your Studio Apartment, at the Garden Courtyard or in the Pergola on hot days with
a coffee, tea or a glass of wine.  Appreciate the views and relax.
There other activities that you will need to pay for, but will also be rewarding experiences:
The Golf Course is just down the road from us.  Carts may be hired. 
Forgotten your golf clubs?  No problem.  We are happy for you to borrow ours. 

The Pools.  Do not miss a soak in the world renowned Hanmer Hot Spring Pools. 

For your convenience there are pool towels in a bag in your wardrobe. 
After you have used these, please leave them outside your Studio so we know to replace them if you want another soak.
