Accommodation Hanmer Springs

Holiday homes in Hanmer Springs put you within walking distance of the Hanmer Springs Thermal Pools & Spa, the alpine village’s biggest drawcard, and close to forest walks through the surrounding Hanmer Forest Conservation Area. The village sits in a mountain basin about 90 minutes north of Christchurch, ringed by the Southern Alps foothills, and its thermal pools — a mix of open-air mineral pools at varying temperatures plus private pools and a hydroslide — make it a popular weekend and school-holiday escape for South Island families. Beyond the pools, Hanmer Springs offers mountain biking and walking tracks through beech forest, jet boating on the Waiau River, and in winter, easy access to the small Hanmer Springs and Mt Lyford ski areas. Chalets, self-contained cottages and larger holiday houses are available around the village centre, most within a short stroll of the pools and the main street’s cafes. Weekends, school holidays and the winter ski season are the busiest times to book. Compare the listings below and book at the best price.
