Hanmer Springs, soak away the exhausting travel aches

Soak away your cares in the relaxing Hanmer Springs Thermal Pools. Probably the very best thermal pools experience in New Zealand - which is saying a lot as there is some tough competition out there - Hanmer manages to do bliss and relaxation in style.

To begin with the changing rooms and clean, large and unfussy. The pools themselves are plentiful and spotless and there always seems to be plenty of room despite being quite busy. There is always space to separate yourself from others and to lie back and chill in your own time… enjoying relaxation away from the crowds.

An onsite café enables you to grab a meal or a drink, before, during or after your soak and there is also the additional benefit of a spa. An indulging massage or facial before dipping your toes in the pools must surely be the perfect pampering session.
