Hanmer Spirngs Information

Alpine Springs Motel, Hamner Springs, New Zealand

At 380 metres above sea level, Hanmer Springs is 1.5 hours drive from Christchurch, a wonderful location for the many leisure interests on offer. It is a haven of peace with endless uninterrupted countryside and breathtaking views. Home to many species of wild animals and birds, Hanmer is somewhere you can escape to from the pressures of modern life.

Hanmer Springs is a beautiful place no matter what the season. In winter the village is often blanketed with snow, transforming Hanmer into a winter wonderland; spring brings soft blossoms and an avenue of daffodils and oaks; summer greens are cooling to the otherwise warm weather; and autumn offers a multitude of colours and breathtaking scenery.

The surrounding area is outstanding and ideal for outdoor enthusiasts with thousands of acres of varied countryside, from river valleys to mountain tops. Hanmer Springs has spectacular walking, pony trekking, mountain and quad biking or perhaps enjoy a game of golf on our superb course, located next to our motel complex.

For the more adventurous there is bungy jumping, white-water rafting, jet boating and scenic flights, plus skiing during the season. An absolute must for any visitor is a trip to the steaming thermal waters at the Hanmer Springs Thermal Pools & Spa. Overlooked by towering trees, visitors are sure to relax in one New Zealand's finest thermal complexes.

An ideal location for a weekend break, leisurely overnight stay, business trip or superb romantic holiday.
