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…

Wow! What a fab review. It looks like we ticked all the boxes! Thank you so much, Paul. We are thrilled that the whole family enjoyed their visit. Reading feedback like this really makes the hard work worthwhile. We look forward to your next visit!
I took 2 US family members to the pool one morning. We were all marvelously relaxed after this, enjoying a hot shower afterwards. A very special way to spend a morning.
Glad to hear your enjoyed your experience at the Pools Lesley! Thanks for the awesome 5 star review. We look forward to your next visit!
Fabulous place to relax and unwind, pool hop and/ or treat ypurself to a relaxing massage
Thanks for the great review Juliet! We hope to see you back for another relaxing soak soon!
Was easy to book but on arrival venue had entry at cheaper price so cost me more to pre book Waste of time and won't do it again
A stunning location a beautiful area well laid out well serviced but if you want peace and tranquility don’t go in the school holidays. It wasn’t enjoyable at all and we were really looking forward to it both in our late 60s and we just would’ve loved to lie and soak in the pool, but it was just Crazy. I think it’s a shame they don’t have maybe an hour in the evening or two hours in the evening where it’s adults only I also didn’t realise they had private pools so will definitely go again but not in holiday time.
Thank you for the review! We do have a large amount of visitors this time of year. For your next visit I would highly recommend our Aqua therapy pools as they are adults only and can avoid a lot of the chaos the school holidays bring!

A Perfect Relaxing Getaway!
Hanmer Springs Thermal Pools and Spa is an absolute gem! The pools are beautifully maintained, with the perfect mix of relaxing thermal pools, fun water slides, and family-friendly areas. The mountain views and fresh air make the whole experience incredibly calming. The staff were welcoming and helpful, and the facilities were spotless — everything from the changing rooms to the cafes felt well cared for. I especially enjoyed the natural mineral pools; they’re so soothing after a long week. Whether you’re here for a peaceful soak, a fun day out with family, or a bit of pampering at the spa, Hanmer Springs never disappoints. I’ll definitely be coming back again! 🌿💧
