“Really amazing place to visit with kids. There are so many pools for different activities, e.g. lazy river, water slides, thermal bath – all in various temperature settings ranging from 28°c to 42°c degrees. The fact that outside food is allowed makes it even more accommodating. Or if you didn't bring your own food, the café there was pretty good & reasonably priced.”

“JUST what the doctor ordered on the last day of a 2week caravanning trip with my family. Miri was awesome, warm & friendly, and very good at what she does. Super relaxed and zenned out.”

“Dipping in a thermal pool in winter is always a bucket list item. Hanmer Springs Thermal Pools gladly satisfies that desire with generous changing room space and snow-capped alpine views to boot. Happy to have caught the off-peak season in August and so the pools weren't overly crowded.”
