Hanmer Springs, in the South Island of New Zealand is a small alpine village with thermal hot springs.
There are only about 900 permanent inhabitants but hundreds of tourists visit every day, and in the school holidays or National holidays that number can raise to thousands.
Luckily Hanmer manages to retain most of it’s small village charm, and is a lovely place for walking as there are forests on several sides and walking paths that lead directly in and out of the village.
We have had a constant stream of visitors and have been enjoying walks in the Hanmer region…
Tie your shoe laces tight and come walk with us…
