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!

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…

Amazing time
We had an amazing time at the hot pools - great atmosphere and kids loved the slides and pools. April special that you can leave and come back was perfect too - meant some down time before pool time again

Amazing
We love the hot pools and Hanmer Springs. Went to the hot pools when they opened at 10am for a few hours then popped out for a 2 hour mountain bike ride and lunch and then spent them after soaking until 7pm. I lived the choices of pools, the beautiful layout with planting everywhere and great changing and shower facilities. It was great to have the multiple entry in April, a great option.
