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…

We loved the thermal pools so much that we visited for 4 consecutive days for 5 adults. Despite the rainy weather the changing rooms were spacious and warm, the lockers had ample room for our belongings and the pools themselves were steamy and so relaxing. We ventured between the hotter sulphur pools, to the hexagonal pools and our favourite being the aqua therapy. Some of us even did the cold plunge pool! The kiosk was great for snacks and hot drinks before returning to the warm water. Especially loved the lights that turned on in the pools as it got darker. We will definitely return.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're absolutely delighted that you enjoyed your visits so much that you came back four days in a row. It's great to hear our warm changing rooms, spacious lockers, and variety of thermal pools helped make your rainy days so relaxing. We love that you explored everything from the sulphur pools and hexagonal pools to the aqua therapy pool—and well done to those who braved the cold plunge! It's also lovely to hear you enjoyed the kiosk and the atmosphere as the pool lights came on in the evening. We truly appreciate your kind words and can't wait to welcome you all back for another relaxing visit.
