Whether you’re planning a romantic escape, a family adventure, or a weekend with your four-legged friend, Seventeen On Cheltenham is the perfect base.

🌸 What makes springtime in Hanmer Springs so special?

Hanmer in spring is all about crisp mornings, warm sunny afternoons, and those jaw-dropping cherry blossoms that line the village streets. Walking around town feels like stepping into a postcard, with pink and white blossoms floating on the breeze.

And then, of course, there are the hot pools. Nothing beats the feeling of stretching your legs on a spring hike—whether that’s Dog Stream Reserve, Conical Hill, or one of the forest walks—then sinking into the thermal pools with the sun on your face. Spring is also less crowded than summer, meaning you get the best of Hanmer without the rush.

🥏 What spring activities can you enjoy near Seventeen On Cheltenham?

With warmer days rolling in, it’s the perfect time to get outside. At Seventeen On Cheltenham, we keep a set of discs ready for guests—so head down to the Hanmer Springs Disc Golf Course for a fun game (though if you say “frisbee golf,” don’t tell the pros—we wouldn’t want to upset the officiandos!).

If you’d rather chill than chase discs, the house has you covered. Brew a flat white at our coffee bar (complete with grinder, plunger, and espresso machine), pull up a chair on the patio, and let the spring sunshine do the rest.

With our comfy lounge, big screen TV, and cosy fireplace, there’s no better way to spend a spring evening than pizza, a good movie, and maybe a cheeky glass of Central Otago pinot.
