About this chalet rental

This charming, sunny little flat-access multi-level home perched up above the township is one of the early chalets just a short two minute drive or fifteen minute walk to the town centre, cafes, bars, pools etc but is well away from the day-to-day bustle of the busy village.

Snowdrop Chalet is very handy to the network of walks and mountain bike tracks. Average fitness is required to walk up the hill to this property from the village – there is handy walkway next to the property that provides a shortcut via Alpine Ave. For those who are keen to take advantage of the views and tracks, just up around the corner on Acheron Heights there is also access to Conical Hill and the Majuba track.

The property offers open plan living including small kitchen facilities (including crockery and utensils, 2-hob cooktop, benchtop oven, microwave, toaster and Nespresso machine [BYO pods]), dining/lounge area with a heat pump. A deck area flows off the lounge where you can take in those amazing mountain views or dine with the BBQ provided. The shower/toilet is also located on this level.

The two bedrooms are on the lower level. The cozy master bedroom has a comfortable Queen bed (with an electric blanket fitted) and the second bedroom has a set of bunks (double bed lower, single bed upper).

There is a third sleeping space - an open mezzanine sleeping loft which is accessed via a ladder from the main living area. It has a Queen sized futon bed as well as a single and trundle option, and a couch that can fold out. Please be aware that this space has a low sloping ceiling.

Please note that due to the steepness of the loft ladder access and the bunk beds, this house is not suitable for young children (unless well supervised). The loft ladder and stairs are polished flooring and can be slippery in just socks.

This property is best suited to a single family of up to six people, or a maximum of four adults, although there are sleeping options for up to nine, the compact open plan living areas are not ideal for larger groups - as per the photos - and definitely not for parties.

Wifi is included.
There is a woodburner but firewood is not supplied.
Tenants are required to clean this home upon departure so that it is clean and tidy for the next tenant.

Guests are required to bring their own sheets and pillowcases for the beds (or sleeping bags), towels, facecloths etc . A quilt and pillows are provided.

Pets are only permitted to stay by arrangement – please ask first and provide details including breed, age, whether they have their own sleeping crate etc, and that you agree with our pet rules:
- There is no fenced “yard” area; there is a small grassed area for comfort stops.
- Only obedient, toilet-trained adult dogs will be permitted and must be kept under effective control at all times.
- All flea and worm treatment must be up to date before arrival.
- It is preferable that you bring your own sleeping crate and that dogs are kept outside. If your dog does come into the house, they are only allowed in the lounge area and are not allowed on the furniture.
- The bedrooms/downstairs are no-go areas.
- You must clean up after the dog daily – poop and hairs – including hosing the grass area as required.
- The dog must not be left alone in the house at any time.
- Any damage or stains must be paid for in full. A security deposit may be charged.

No EV charging is allowed at the property due to the capacity of our older switchboard and the risk of fire and complete electrical melt down. There are 4 free electric charging stations at the Thermal Pools - ensure you have correct adaptor to use them. There are also 2 electric charging stations at Culverden which is 30 minutes drive south.

Simple, quaint and beautiful positioning make this alpine split level cottage a comfortable and memorable stay. The house sits beautifully on the hil overlooking the eastern side of Hamner and foothills and is only a short walk to Connical hill and other tracks making it perfect for walkers and nature enthusiasts. It's also only about 15mins into Hanmer centre and hot pools by foot, 5 mins by car making it pretty central. The pet friendly addition is fantastic but animals aren't permitted to be left onto the property unsupervised and a secure yard isn't available - just as a side note to be mindful of.The kitchen is very functional for cooking with modern and simple cookware provided. The cottage decor and funiture is on the older side but everything is very comfortable and clean. A modern Netflix capabke TV is provided, and for cold nights was a great inclusion. Warm and effective heat pumps work quickly to warm the the entire space effortlessly.To keep costs low you are expected to clean and take all rubbish with you which is a small inconvenience for competitive pricing. We had a wonderful stay and the hosts were extremely helpful when due to international roaming issues I couldn't retrieved the full instructions list for check in and after a quick phone call the host was amazing at helping for a smooth check in. We had a wonderful time and would definitely return. Thanks much!
