About Hanmer Springs
Hanmer Springs is an alpine village in North Canterbury, known for its thermal pools, forest trails and a ring of snowy mountains.
Hanmer Springs sits in a broad basin in the foothills of the Southern Alps, north of Christchurch, and has been a spa resort since the nineteenth century. Hot water rising from deep underground feeds a complex of outdoor and rock pools, and the village's main street of cafés, shops and gardens is shaded by mature exotic trees.
