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.
Glad to hear your enjoyed your experience at the Pools Lesley! Thanks for the awesome 5 star review. We look forward to your next visit!
Wet day but did not affect our family fun.
Easy and cheaper. Saved heaps and was able to book on the day even though Hanmer Pools website said there were no openings.
Thank you for the great feedback Bekah! We’re so pleased to hear you found the booking process easy and that you were able to secure a same-day booking at a great price. We appreciate you choosing us and hope to help you plan another getaway soon.
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.
Wasn't allowed in due to covid-19.

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.
