Excellent facility for famiy and friends
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the facility and found it a great place for family and friends. We really appreciate your support and hope to welcome you back again soon!
We purchased the 2 day pass for the whole family. All.access to the whole park. So many options of what to do and where to go. The kids and adults all enjoyed the hydroslides! Lovely hot pools to relax in wether you wanted to be in the extra hot hexagon pools.or in a kore private area in the streams there was always plenty of options. The lazy river was great to just relax and float around in. Also a cafe there to get drinks and food from was ideal and not overpriced. We really enjoyed our visit
Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that the whole family enjoyed your two-day pass and made the most of everything the park has to offer. It’s great to know the hydroslides were a hit with both the kids and adults, and that you enjoyed relaxing in the hot pools and floating along the lazy river. We’re also glad you found the café convenient and reasonably priced. It sounds like you made the most of your visit, and we’re so pleased you all had a great time. We’d love to welcome you and your family back again soon!

I love the Hanmer Springs Thermal Pools and Spa, every time we visit Hanmer this is a must do for us. Love the variety of pools and temperatures. They even have water slides and a lazy river along with a fresh water laned swimming pool if you want to be a little more active than just soaking. Unfortunately, I missed out on seeing the wave pool that is currently being built and should be ready by the end of 2026. We got the 2 day return pass which is good value for money, book online the day before and it is cheaper than purchasing at the pools on the day. The food at the Kiosk cafe is very good as well and large servings.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that visiting Hanmer Springs Thermal Pools & Spa is a must-do every time you're in Hanmer. It's great that you enjoyed the variety of pools, the slides, lazy river, and our freshwater lap pool, there really is something for everyone. We're also pleased to hear you found the two-day return pass to be good value and enjoyed your meal from the Kiosk Café. Thanks for mentioning the online booking discount too, it’s a great tip for future visitors. We can't wait to welcome you back, and hopefully next time you'll be able to experience our new wave pool once it's open. See you again soon!
Hot Hanmer Springs Pool Who goes to Hanmer and doesn’t go to the pools?! Seriously. I question this. If you go Hanmer you have to go to the hot pools. It is a must. It is the landmark and the non-negotiable. They are forever updating them and they are always looking good. There are plenty of really hot pools (40Cdeg) and pools just for adults. Plus there are the water slides and a kids play area. And of course a café where you can pizzas and a lovely gift shop. It is a wonderful swimming and bathing experience. Don’t look at the price too carefully, just pay, relax and enjoy it.
Thank you for such an enthusiastic review! We're thrilled to hear you consider a visit to Hanmer Springs Thermal Pools & Spa a must-do when visiting Hanmer, it means a lot to us.

We're always working to keep improving our facilities, so it's great to know you noticed our ongoing updates. We really appreciate your recommendation and look forward to welcoming you back for another relaxing soak in the future!
Fabulous day out. We went in winter and even the slides contained warm water. Changing rooms were warm and spacious. Something for all ages. Definitely recommend
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We're delighted you had such a fabulous day and that you enjoyed the warm pools, comfortable changing facilities, and attractions for all ages. We really appreciate your recommendation and look forward to welcoming you back for another visit soon! 😊
Thoroughly enjoyed our visit. There are lots of options for the whole family. Having visited Hells Gate earlier in the month we were disappointed in having to pay for small lockers given the entry cost. It's a minor grievance but as a family is 4 you need to hire 2 lockers whereas Hells Gate its free.
Thank you for your thoughtful review! We're so pleased to hear you thoroughly enjoyed your visit and found there were plenty of options for the whole family. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the lockers. We understand your point, especially for larger families, and we'll be sure to pass your comments on to our team for consideration. Thank you again for visiting, and we hope to welcome you back soon! 😊
Awesome wee set up this is! Very warm and cosy and feels like home away from home. Close enough to the township but just far enough to feel like you’re surrounded by nature (the views are stunning). Thanks for having us 😁
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear you felt so comfortable and at home during your stay. It's great that you enjoyed the peaceful setting, stunning views, and convenient location. We really appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you back for another relaxing stay soon! 😊
Just buy directly it’s cheaper in most cases. I also had to wait 45 minutes while they tried to sort out the issue with my ticket. They eventually resolved it, but I wasn’t happy with the experience.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry to hear about the delay and the issue with your ticket, and we understand how frustrating that must have been. While we're pleased our team was able to resolve it, we know the wait impacted your experience. We appreciate your comments regarding booking directly and will use your feedback to help improve our service. We hope you'll consider visiting us again in the future.
