Hanmer Springs

Nestled in the Southern Alps, the alpine village of Hanmer Springs has long been a cherished New Zealand holiday destination, offering year-round appeal. Its world-renowned Thermal Pools & Spa are a major draw, complemented by a stunning natural environment of rivers and mountains. For those seeking tranquility, enjoy forest walks, relaxing thermal soaks, rejuvenating massage therapy, health treatments, or a round of golf, all within the pure alpine atmosphere. Adventure awaits with jet boating on the Waiau River, horse trekking, mountain biking, or even bungy jumping from the historic bridge. Surrounding forests boast over 50km of dedicated walking and mountain bike trails, showcasing spectacular seasonal colours, particularly in autumn and spring. In winter, Hanmer Springs transforms into a snowy haven, with easy access to both Hanmer Springs Ski Area and Mt. Lyford Ski Area.
