Local Activities

Hanmer Springs is one of New Zealand's most popular Spa Resort towns. It is situated around famous thermal spa pools where one can sit and soak, or be pampered with a private sauna, massage, facial, manicure or pedicure. There are many retail shops in the Village with Merino Mink garments; ladies fashions; Wild South casual clothes; Shoes & Handbags, and Kiwiana souvenirs.

For those looking for something more physical there is a beautiful 18 hole golf course, forest walks, horse treks, jet boat rides, rafting, and for the more adventurous bungy jumping.

Our local Marble Point Winery is open for wine tastings, lunch and sales.
