Hanmer Springs is a small village in New Zealand's South Island region of Canterbury, surrounded by imposing mountains and forests with fresh, alpine air. The town was discovered in the late 1850's for its famous hot springs and access was originally provided by the Waiau River.
The village is now more easily accessible via state highway 7, just a 90 minute drive from Christchurch. Hanmer Springs is a popular year-round tourist destination for its award winning hot springs, bungy jumping, jet boating, mountain biking, horse trekking and local bush walks to name but a few of the Hanmer Springs activities on offer.
