        About us

        Hanmer Springs is New Zealand’s only natural geothermal alpine spa village.

        Cradled by forest clad mountains in a secluded high-country basin, we were New Zealand’s original wellness destination. The first bathhouse was built here in 1884 and we’ve been caring for the wellness for people ever since.
