Welcome to the charming alpine village of Hanmer Springs — a place where relaxation meets adventure and time seems to slow down just a little (maybe it’s the mountain air… or the hot pools!). Tucked away in the heart of North Canterbury, this peaceful haven is known for its stunning natural beauty, rejuvenating thermal waters, and friendly small-town vibe. Seventeen on Cheltenham is located in one of the best spots in town – a quiet street just a 3-minute walk to the iconic Hanmer Springs Thermal Pools & Spa. That means you can wander down in your robe (we won’t judge), enjoy a long soak, and be back home with your feet up in no time. You’re also just a short stroll to Hanmer’s village centre, where you’ll find boutique shops, cafés, restaurants, and classic country bakeries serving up pies that’ll knock your socks off. If you’re keen to stretch your legs, you’re spoiled for choice: explore nearby forest walks, bike the scenic mountain trails, or take a wander through the Heritage Forest with its towering redwoods and peaceful picnic spots. There are also golf courses, mini-golf for the kids (and competitive adults), jet boating, bungy jumping, and even a llama trek if you're feeling quirky. The neighbourhood itself is peaceful and family-friendly, with wide streets, open skies, and that comforting hum of birdsong and distant laughter. You’ll find friendly locals, well-kept gardens, and plenty of space for the kids or dogs to roam. Whether you're here for a romantic weekend, a family holiday, or just to unplug and breathe in the fresh alpine air, the neighbourhood around Seventeen on Cheltenham offers the best of Hanmer – all wrapped up in a warm, nostalgic glow.
