The Hahndorf Lodge

.

The good: Location, friendly staff, clean towels and bedding, working A/C, parking, nice gardens, a pool. The bad: Intermittent hot water, the leaking fridge / smell from wet carpet, flies/bugs/ants. This place has great bones but it's dated and is in dire need of a complete reno. At $287 a night (1A, 2C) I expect hot water and a clean, odour free room.

Beautiful room, nice and quiet, comfortable bed big screen TV will definitely come back again

All staff were friendly , easy parking and check in. Would like to have been up there a bit longer to use some facilities and sample more of Hahndorf. I’ll be back.

We had arranged late check-in and received a code for the key safe at our door. The code was 5 digits but the key safe only required 4. We rang the after hours number and received a new 4-digit code that didn't work. A second code also didn't work. Thankfully after 4 phone calls and 45 minutes we finally got a working code and entry into our room. The Wifi password didn't work, making it difficult to book accommodation at further destinations. When we went to make a cup of tea, discovered housekeeping had forgotten to leave any milk in the fridge. The bedhead on the queen bed had large greasy marks where peoples heads had been resting on the bedhead. There were ants in the queen bed and a slug emerged from the wall in the second bedroom. And to make it perfect, there was no hot water in the morning for showers. We were grateful to find a room in a popular destination, but were disappointed considering the cost.
