In fact, the Hanmer Springs Thermal Pools are so popular that they were voted the BEST VISITOR ATTRACTION at the 2004 New Zealand Tourism Awards and were also named Champion Host at the Champion Canterbury Awards.
In the centre of Hanmer Springs, an alpine village 380 metres above sea level, the pools are often blanketed in snow, creating a magical, fairy tale atmosphere in one of New Zealand's most picturesque settings.
With views of the forests and mountains and a backdrop of towering sequoia trees, the Thermal Pools provide the perfect conclusion to a busy day of ski-ing, biking or golf, or for a complete day of relaxation.
