The main reason everyone heads to Hanmer Springs is the Thermal Pools, and trust me, they’re totally worth it. You’ll find 22 pools with all sorts of temperatures,  from super chill and relaxing to a bit more energising, so there’s something for everyone. The waterslides aren’t massive, but honestly, they’re heaps of fun and perfect for letting loose. Plus, if you want some quiet time, there are adult-only pools to unwind in. 

Entry costs about $40 for a full day, and lockers are roughly $4 if you want to stash your stuff safely. Definitely a top spot to hang out and recharge after some hiking or driving around!
