Weekend is probably not the best time to go along as there is a lot of children climbing in and out of pools. Peace and quiet is shattered, also if it’s raining it gets very crowded in pools. We were lucky to have a snow flurry, which was beautiful. Towel hire is pricey and they are very thin. Showers are nice and hot and there is ample room in change rooms.

Lovely facility. Lots of different pools to choose from with a variety of temperatures. Changing facilities clean. Able to shower and dress before traveling on.

First time to Hanmer Springs. I had the most wonderful time at the hot pools, trying out the different pools. Bought a whole day pass so that I could come back in the early evening.
