The pools are famous for the soothing waters and the stunning alpine setting that is framed by magnificent trees and gardens. A must do experience.
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 booked for 10am on a Tuesday morning, we were amongst the first there and it never got very busy due to being a weekday. It was bliss! It's my third visit to the pools and would highly recommend going midweek if you can for a truly relaxing experience. Once you're in for your booked time you can stay as long as you want :)
Thank you for the amazing review Gemma, we are glad to hear you enjoyed your visit and we hope to see you back again soon
Clean tidy and well-maintained pools, lots to choose from and great to sit back soak and chill out
Thank you for the amazing feedback, David! We hope to see you for more chill-out in the future.
Make sure that you allow plenty of time to relax and enjoy Hanmer, Springs and town. A special spot on your South Island discovery.
Thank you for the lovely review, Lisa! We hope to see you back in this special spot soon!
What a beautiful town that makes you feel like you're overseas in some mountain town in the winter, the locals do tourism well, are friendly and theres plenty of shops to wander around throughout the town. Massage and hot pools, lap pool and hydroslides are amazing x
Thank you for feedback that looks like it's come straight from the Tourist Board! We look forward to seeing you again, Katrina!

Best way to spend a lazy cold afternoon
The facilities were awesome, pools well maintaned and clean and not too crowded!! Only issue we had was that we didn't read the map and missed a whole section of pools - clearly we were content with what we had! My husband left his rash top and when we came back the next day it was dry and folded and waiting, now thats better service than he gets at home!! 100% recommend to anyone spending time in Hanmer.
