Welcome to Hanmer Springs Thermal Pools & Spa.

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!

Hamner Springs thermal Pools and Spa
We traveled to hamner Springs from Picton solely because of the hot pools and were definitely not disappointed. Staff were excellent at reception helpful with lockers to save us money as we were going to buy 2. But came up with a better solution and got the feeling that safety was a priority. The landscape setting was stunning. Plenty of pools to pick. Clean everywhere. Café offers plenty of kai options too. We went day time then later on when it got dark because of the April special. Even more stunning when place is lite up with colored lights.

Disappointed
Wasn't allowed in due to covid-19.

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.

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.
