Highlights

  • Relax and unwind soaking in mineral-rich hot pools
  • Be entertained with hydroslides and the South Island’s only aqua thrill ride!

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…

Visitor from Nelson

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.

Best thermal spring experience

We come here on a cold and rainy day. Hanmer springs is the absolute best place to be on a bad weather day. We spent six hours here and loved trying out all of the different pools and areas including the waterslides. We ate very nice lunch in the restaurant. I highly recommend these springs to anyone who enjoys thermal pools of all kinds. Wonderful place for families or coming by yourself.

Too many people

Way to many people - couldn’t find anywhere to sit - should definitely monitor how many people are going in. Paid my $3 for a locker but they were all full - Wasn’t keen on sitting in there touching some strangers shoulder. Not for me. Wouldn’t do again.
