New spa for Hanmer Springs

A new day spa – yet to be named – is set to open in Hanmer Springs.

The spa will be owned by Hanmer Springs Thermal Pools and Spa and be sited in The Village Shopping Centre, Hanmer Springs – a new development to be built on the corner of Conical Hill Road and Chisholm Crescent.

It will feature four treatment rooms and offer a range of superior spa treatments.

Hanmer Springs Thermal Pools and Spa’s general manager Graeme Abbot says it’s an exciting development.

“This will help cement Hanmer Springs’ reputation as New Zealand’s alpine spa village...we will finally have a spa on the main street. It’ll be visible, quality and add to the amazing product the village has to offer tourists.”

The design of the new spa is yet to be finalised but it’s expected the cost of the project will be around $100,000.

The new spa will operate separately to The Spa at the pools with a different name and look. Graeme Abbot says it will add to the pools’ spa business.

“The Spa at the pools has become one of New Zealand’s busiest day spas. We are lucky to have experience in creating and operating spas so are confident this new standalone spa will be equally successful.”

Harcourts sales and leasing agent Harley Manion says the new spa will be an excellent anchor tenant for the centre.

“This is the most exciting retail development to come to the village in ten years and the spa is exactly the sort of business we want there. An experienced operator with a quality offering that will help make The Village Shopping Centre, Hanmer Springs a bustling and vibrant hub.”

It’s expected the new spa will open around November 2015.
