Chill out in the hot pools!
The busier we get the more we need to create a space for rejuvenation. With a variety of hot pools customers can choose what best suits them. Surrounded by nature in the venue itself and externally by trees and mountain vistas it's so easy to relax, detaching even from time itself.

Hanmer Pools visit
We had a wonderful time at the hot pools in Hanmer—such a lovely setting right in the township. It’s so convenient being able to walk to nearby shops and head out for lunch, which we did. We also really appreciated being able to leave and come back later, as we found a couple of hours in the pools at a time was perfect for us. There’s a great range of pool temperatures, although some were a bit too hot for my liking—definitely something to suit everyone. We didn’t try the slides, but they looked like a lot of fun. Great price buying from Treat Me prior to visit, otherwise can be pricey paying directly.
From HANMER SPRINGS - Thermal Pools and Spa Pool Entry
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re delighted to hear you had such a relaxing and enjoyable visit to Hanmer Springs Thermal Pools & Spa. It’s great to know you made the most of the township location, enjoyed the variety of pools, and appreciated the flexibility of being able to come and go throughout the day. We’re also pleased you found good value through Treat Me and that the different pool temperatures offered something that suited your visit overall. Hopefully next time you might even give the slides a try! We look forward to welcoming you back again soon.

Hot pools
Absolutely love the hot pools and they have something for everyone. I have good memories from going as a child and young adult. Just as mum with a toddler now we struggled with the changing rooms as there are not many family rooms and they don't have showers in them.
