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…

We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed your experience at the Pools! Unfortunately, our Sulphur pools, which are kept at 42 degrees, are currently under maintenance. We hope that by the time you visit next, they’ll be up and running, and you’ll be able to enjoy them. Thank you for the great 5 star review Deimante.

Warming the day
Great experience, loved the slides and pools. Just expected 39-42°C to be more hotter.. It wasn't hot enough for me to get out of pool and be warm for a while. Maybe cascades where hotter but at the moment they were closed...
