  • We went to Hanmer Springs spa. Very nice - lots of pools with varying minerals. 2 were purely natural waters - very hot - 41 degrees! couldn't stay in long but it was lovely. All very relaxing - well for me anyway. Dave was OK at first but then got bored - not ball games allowed!! I would definitely recommend a trip. It's not expensive either."
