Star Domes at Hanmer Glamping: Mountain Views and Hot Tubs

Hanmer Glamping is situated in Medway Road, which is south of the village and has amazing views towards Mount Isobel and the surrounding mountain ranges. We are often a couple of degrees warmer than the village due to our south facing position, and get to admire the sun or snow capped mountains at all times of the year.

If mountain views or clear night skies excite you then you will love it here.  Hanmer Glamping views are spectacular.  As weather, seasons and light change the mountains on a continual basis, you can never tire of them. Likewise, the night sky on a clear night is a sight to behold. There’s nothing quite like a soak in the hot tub to admire the stars.

Contact us if you would like any information or to make a booking.
