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…

Relax and Unwind...
We thoroughly enjoyed our lazy-ish afternoon at the Springs on a wet and rainy day. Friendly staff, clean changing rooms with complimentary nicely scented shampoo. Hydro slides were amazing. A must visit if you are within an easy drive.

A Must Do
Fantastic place. We were worried going in as the queue was very long however the place is well set out and very large. It didn't feel crowded at all. the pools were wonderfully landscaped. We would definitely go back. A must do when in New Zealand
