  We entered around 10:30 although there was a queue to get in the staff were great and very quick to process tickets bought on line. Very clean changing rooms handy spin dryer for swim ware. Lifeguards on patrol but not intrusive. The hot pools were brilliant set at different temperatures and the slides were great fun. We did not use the cafe you could hire towels but we had some from our motel so saved money on that. Over all well worth the entry fee.

  When we booked we thought we were limited to only a 1 hour visit, but we stayed for 5 hours which was excellent!

  Pools were good but dissapointed that they sold us a pair of kids goggles that we used twice and then got mouldy. Wrote a complaint to zoggs who told me I have to complain to hanmer which I did but they never bothered getting back to me and we live too far away to go in person. Also they don’t let you wear googles on the slides and u have to leave them on a hook, if you don’t wanna go all the way back to your locker, they then got stolen from the hook while on the slides 🤦‍♀️

  Don’t think twice. Go for it. It was just amazing. One of the best things we did in our New Zealand trip.

  We purposely spend two nights in Hanmer Springs area, so then we can spend almost a full day at the pools. First of all, I'm a huge fan of thermal pools and when I learned that they have over 20 outdoor pools, I was very excited. Buying the ticket was easy, we stayed in line, purchased two tickets, admission for an adult was NZD43, and we brought our own towels because our accommodation provided that, so we didn't rent any towels and we didn't rent any lockers as well because we brought a bag and there's nothing valuable and you could just leave your stuff around. There's plenty of chairs and tables with umbrellas to put your belongings, but if you want to be safe, then of course you can rent a locker as well. And upon going in, we were given a map and we really wanted to go to the pools that had like the minerals and so we start all the way at the back and where they have the minerals and the jets as well. I would say that the jets were not very strong at all, meaning like if you're thinking to get a neck or shoulder massage, forget them. It's just probably a very weak massage if you would. But what's the surprising part was that there were four water slides. They were a lot of fun. I can't remember when was the last time I went on those slides. That was definitely the highlight of our trip and I would say they kept the facility relatively clean. The bathroom was a little bit kind of out of the way to go to and they have this cold plunge, a new cold plunge that we were told by the staff that they just started like on the 3rd week in Nov; the bottom is extremely slippery and we encouraged them to maybe put some rubber mats / pads at the bottom to prevent people from slipping. But other than that, we enjoyed every minute of it and wish we'd have spent more time there. One thing I was very concerned was about mosquito and sand flies because we know that they're usually active during sunrise and sunset. Fortunately, we didn't encounter any, but we did bring a repellent just in case!

• Clean and well run hot springs

  We had a lovely time here. The pools are quite varied and all very well maintained/ cleaned and the lifeguards are very good at ensuring that all the rules are followed, such as keeping kids out of the adults only pools. There are lockers available to hire for $4 for 2 hrs or $8 for 4 hrs. There are lots of change rooms and showers.

  

• Excellent. Like a warm bath…

• Must visit in Hanmer Springs

  A beautiful way to spend a cold but clear morning in Hanmer Springs. The pools were lovely, the changing facilities are spacious and well equipped and the staff were friendly and helpful. We were there at a quieter time which made moving between the different pools easy.
