As per a previous review, at first glance Scarborough Lodge does not look anything special but as the old adage goes, "You can't judge a book by it's cover" it certainly applies here. We were greeted by a neighbour who was standing in for the absentee owners for the afternoon. I am so sorry I can't remember her name but... More

The owner Graham was extremely friendly. We only had a fly by visit to experience the hot pools. We were glad we stayed here. It was an easy walk to the springs and into town for dinner. Graham supplied extra towels for us to take to the pools. There is easy parking close to the room which was great for... More

Scarborough lodge is a small motel within easy walking distance of hanmer springs village, the rooms were clean, well equipped and warm (have heat pump). The host Graham is very friendly and has good local knowledge, he even offered to transport us to wedding we were attending at a nearby winery. Definitely would recommend motel.

This is the second time we've stayed here and we would come back again and again. The owners make you feel very much at home and nothing is too much trouble. Last time they even did our laundry for us! The rooms are spacious and very clean with everything you need and the location is a two minute walk away... More

Just the warmest welcome received by the host Graham. We arrived to a freezing cold temperature in Hanmer and Graham turned the heat pump on. The unit was spectacular and very cosy. The com pendulum provided awesome information on local eateries wether it was a thumbs up or please avoid. The location is handy and walks all round. The hot... More

We stayed here for the 2 days we spent in Hanmer Springs. We had a beautiful, clean room with a Jacuzzi and private garden overlooking the nice and peaceful neighbourhood. Graeme is a wonderful host. Warm, friendly and full of good advice. It was his idea that it was the best time to go to Hanmer Spa while it was... More

At first glace Scarborough Lodge does not look anything special but it would be a mistake not to consider it as an ideal place to base yourself while in Hanmer. It is spacious. exceptional clean and well located close to restaurants and the hot springs - the perfect place to stay.
