Quirky and creative arts and crafts can be found in Hanmer Springs and throughout the country. Art is very much a part of our Kiwi culture. All of the metropolitan centres around the country have exciting public art galleries and exhibitions, as well as dealer galleries. Many regions have high concentrations of painters, craftspeople, sculptors, photographers, printers and carvers – perhaps because of the inspiring landscapes. But don’t limit yourself to just these locations; many superb pieces can be found all over the country.

Hanmer Springs: Nestled in a high country basin 385m above sea level, rests the tranquil small alpine village of Hanmer Springs. One of New Zealand’s favourite retreats, the Hanmer Springs Thermal Pools & Spa offers one of the world’s best modern outdoor thermal pool complexes. All year round, in front of a mountain backdrop, young and old enjoy the natural thermal water. After your soak, take a picturesque walk through the forest or have an adrenalin rush jet boating, river rafting or bungy jumping at the historic bridge. An array of great shops and eateries also await your pleasure.
