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 Family Experience
Hanmer Springs was absolutely amazing as always. We have a baby now so it was a perfect spot for her to soak in the water and enjoy the beautiful sunshine. Perfect environment for us and our extended family.

Awesome Family Day Out
Thank you Hamner Springs pools and bookme for your great discounts, it can be very expensive for a big family to have fun outings, so its very much appreciated when such great deals come up on offer! We went fairly early in the morning on a drizzly day, but who cares when the pools are that warm! It wasn't crowded, likely because of the weather, but we had a ball, the kids cant wait to come back! It was my first time going and I dont live that far away, great facilities, really really enjoyed it! Thank you!!!
