Unwind and relax in the alpine village of Hanmer Springs with this peaceful overnight escape from Christchurch.

Your journey begins with a scenic transfer from Christchurch through the rolling countryside of North Canterbury to the charming alpine village of Hanmer Springs.

After arriving late morning, spend the afternoon soaking in the famous Hanmer Springs Thermal Pools & Spa. Relax in the warm mineral pools, unwind amongst the alpine surroundings. 

You will stay overnight at The Edit Hanmer Springs, a stylish, modern hotel in the heart of the village, within easy walking distance of the thermal pools, restaurants, and cafes.

The following day is yours to further explore Hanmer Springs. Enjoy the cafés and boutique shops, or discover the beautiful native forest walks that surround this relaxed alpine town before returning to Christchurch in the late afternoon.
