Hanmer Springs
Canterbury
An alpine spa village with hot thermal pools, forest walks and a mountain backdrop.
Hanmer Springs is a relaxed mountain village built around its thermal pools, an easy detour off the inland road north of Christchurch. Soak in the hot pools, wander the forest tracks or ride the bike trails, all ringed by the Southern Alps.
It's a soft-adventure base that's just as good in winter as summer, and a comfortable first or last night on a South Island loop.
