Visit Hanmer Springs
Situated in a unique alpine environment, Hanmer Springs is only a 90 minutes drive north of Christchurch, the major gateway to the South Island of New Zealand. Hanmer Springs is a year round holiday destination offering a variety of outdoor activities, great cafes and accommodation.
​
The geothermal nature of the area has provided the beautiful Thermal Springs Reserve in which to relax.
​
The village is located at an altitude of approximately 400 metres (1300 feet). This provides a crisp clear climate, with snow falling on several occasions. The combination of the colder climate and the hot pools (normally 25°-42°C or 77°-108°F) is both invigorating and relaxing. The really lucky ones get to soak in the hot pools when it is snowing!
​
There are plenty of shops to wander through and mountain activities galore. Check out Visit Hanmer Springs to plan your trip.
