Hanmer Springs
POP 843
Ringed by sculpted mountains, Hanmer Springs is the main thermal resort on the South
Island. It's a pleasantly low-key spot to indulge yourself, whether soaking in hot pools,
dining out or being pampered in the spa complex. In case that all sounds too soporific,
fear not; there are plenty of family-friendly activities on offer, including a few to get the
adrenaline pumping.
