The Heritage Hanmer Springs, HANMER SPRINGS, Canterbury

Just 90 minutes from Christchurch, Hanmer Springs is the perfect place to wash away your city concerns and soak-up the natural beauty of the Southern Alps. But refreshment need not stop at your dip in the hot springs – a stay at the Heritage Hanmer Springs will refresh you every which way. The Heritage Hanmer Spring's historic Hanmer Lodge building has been lovingly restored to its former glory, and is surrounded by immaculately landscaped gardens. The hotel is located in the centre of town, just a stone's throw (well, a short drive) to all of the region’s natural wonders.
