Welcome to Hanmer Springs Thermal Pools & Spa.
Relaxing rock pools, soothing sulphur pools, cascading pools, and an array of water jets and bubbles - at a range of temperatures.
For the kids (and kids at heart!) we have four hydroslides, including New Zealand’s longest waterslide, Conical Thrill, activity pools and a lazy river.
We're excited to introduce the debut of Violet Vortex and Waiau Winder. These innovative slides have taken the place of our cherished older beige and green slides. Our latest slides feature cutting-edge LED lighting and projection technology, enhancing the thrill factor and crafting a unique adventure!
Entry price includes all outdoor pools and slides.
For those who wish for a taste of luxury - try the private pools, sauna, steam rooms, and the luxurious spa. It's all here in an atmosphere that cannot help but reset the balance in life…

Thank you for the wonderful review! 😊 We're so glad you found it relaxing. We couldn't agree more the hot pools are a must-do when visiting Hanmer Springs! Your comparison to visiting France without seeing the Eiffel Tower is spot on. Thanks for sharing your experience, and we hope to welcome you back for another soak and getaway soon! 👌🏻

Great place to relax and rejuvenate!! Fun place to spend time with a family too. There is a longest slide in NZ for everyone to enjoy. Pools and all facilities are clean. Highly recommend and worth money.
