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…

Perfect Day but be cautious of the SuperBowl slide
The visit was perfect apart from the SupeBowl slide, where our inflatable lost momentum and we tipped, both banging our heads.
From HANMER SPRINGS - Thermal Pools and Spa Pool Entry
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re so pleased to hear that you had a perfect day overall, but we’re very sorry to learn about your experience on the SuperBowl slide. Guest safety is extremely important to us, and we’re concerned to hear that you both banged your heads when the inflatable tipped. Please be assured that we will share this feedback with our operations team so it can be reviewed. If you haven’t already spoken to a member of the team during your visit, we would encourage you to contact us directly so we can look into this further and check on how you’re both feeling. We truly appreciate you bringing this to our attention and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for a fully enjoyable and safe visit in the future.
