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…
Thank you for the review Mercia
Really enjoyable experience.
Thanks for the great feedback Andre
It was a busy day due to weekend and school holidays but we had an awesome time.
Thanks for the great review Jessebel, Great to hear you still enjoyed your visit despite it being busy
With so many different pools/temps to choose from you can't go wrong! The kids were huge fans of the slides 🙌. Gorgeous natural landscaping, clean, welcoming and relaxing. The clothes dryer in the change room was next level. The gift shop is well priced and diverse - Hamner Springs is without a doubt one of my favourite relaxing experiences in NZ!
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We're thrilled to hear you and your family had such a fantastic time — especially that the kids loved the slides! 😊 It's wonderful to know you enjoyed the variety of pools, the natural surroundings, and the little extras like the clothes dryer and gift shop. We’re so proud to be one of your favourite relaxing experiences in New Zealand, and we can’t wait to welcome you back again soon!
There were many pools of varying temps to choose from and it was a really nice experience
Thanks for the awesome 5 star review Kerri! We hope to see you in the near future for another visit.
