Situated on a working farm, Smiths Farm Holiday Park offers accommodation surrounded by rolling hills and rural gardens. Guests can enjoy feeding and petting the friendly farm animals, which include sheep, cows, pigs and goats. The setting was beautiful, wonderful atmosphere on the site with fantastic facilities. We had all we could need in the cabin and it was very comfortable. The Glowworm and waterfall walk was the icing on the cake, simply magical. I will definitely be recommending this accommodation for anyone in the area.

Just 5 minutes’ walk from Hanmer Springs Thermal Reserve, this holiday park features a coin-operated laundry and gas BBQs. Families can relax with 2 TV rooms, a children’s playground and a petanque court. We loved staying at the Top 10 in Hamner Springs. It had everything we needed, was in a great location and the staff were lovely and so helpful. Very relaxed and easy going feeling, especially as we were travelling with kids.
