Hanmer Springs

Hanmer Springs is a town in the Canterbury region of the South Island of New Zealand. It is located inland, 65 kilometres southwest from Kaikoura, on a minor road 10 kilometres north of State Highway 7, the northern route betweeen Christchurch and the West Coast via Lewis Pass. The town is built around a popular hot spring which was discovered in the late 1800s. The 2001 census gave a population of 663. The town's other main claim to fame, the South Island's leading rehabilitation centre for sufferers of drug addiction, St. Mary's Hospital, was controversially closed in 2003. As of 2004, a protracted battle over the protection of the building and surrounding park is still in progress. There are two skifields in the area, Hanmer Springs Skifield and Mount Lyford.
