Hanmer Springs is a small town located in the Caterbury region on the South Island.  It's an 84 mile (135 kms) south west drive from Kaikoura, and is 56 miles (90 kms) north of Christchurch.  There is also a daily shuttle bus that operates between Hanmer and Christchurch.

Set in the Hanmer Forest Park, the town was built around a natural hot spring that was discovered in the late 19th century, and today Hanmer Springs offers a very relaxing Hot Springs experience in several pools around the town.  The area is very popular as a domestic holiday destination for New Zealanders, not just for the springs, but also for skiing, as there are 2 good ski fields in the area.  For the adventurous, there are an number of activities to keep you busy, such as mountain biking, bungy jumping, and walking and hiking trails, to name but three.

During the summer months, Hanmer Springs is the eastern gateway to a number of the South Island's scenic wounders, such as Lake Tennyson, Rainbow Valley and the Nelson Lakes National Park.  You would need a 4 x4 vehicle, but that all adds to the adventure!
