I love going to hanmer springs . Never been in the.hot pools when its snowing yet but i think it would be amazing .

Love Hanmer Springs, so relaxing

Hanmer springs 100%. Helps so much with the painful body to. Me and the kids would always be there if we could 😀

Hanmer Springs is a favourite destination for this lady who has just been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis in addition to a lifetime spinal condition that means a wheelchair, and now RETIREMENT at the age of 79. So I would love to win the pass.

Hammer Springs is a beautiful place in every month of the year. The distinct difference in winter is the snow on the hills and everybody all wrapped up to keep warm. Then you go into the hot pools and everybody is in their swim suits enjoying the warmth of the pools. So close to Christchurch makes Hanmer Springs accessible to so many of us all.

Hanmer springs of course 😜 headed there for queens bday weekend so this would be perfect!!! Shev Marks

Without a doubt Hanmer Springs, soaking in hot pools while surrounded by snow is what makes winter a truly magical time!

Yes please I love hanmer springs in the winter months 💜 especially surrounded by snow!

I love hitting up Hanmer springs in the middle of winter during study break. A chance to get up to the ski field, break. Aleg at the ice rink, climb up jollies and Jack's pass than relax in the pools for the remainder with good food and good booze....and maybe a massage. 😊😁 Matt Wakelam

Hamner springs of course & my had working Josef Bernard really needs a day off soaking his soar muscles 💪🏻 in the hot pool and family time with our sons .. a big yes please.. and thank you if lucky

Hanmer Springs always lovely.🌞

From here in Kaikōura, Mt Lyford is the closest winter getaway, the lodge has a spa where you sit out in the snow at night it’s amazing to look up at the night sky and in the morning we pop up skiing at the Mt Lyford ski field. It’s A great winter escape.

Nothing nicer than sitting in the hot pools when it is snowing in Hanmer Springs , would love to win this for my husband and I :-)

Definitely Hamner springs, nice relaxing soak in the hot pools

Hanmer Springs is gorgeous in the snow 🌨️

Looking forward to some "down time" with the girls. Bring on Hanmer Springs the best winter wonderland. Great company in the soothing relaxing hot pools. Whoop whoop. Jodie Milne Angie Hawkins Michelle May one more sleep until ROAD TRIP..

Hanmer springs with the hot pools! It's an easy day trip. Would love to go to tekapo but it's just that much further

Definitely Hanmer springs! The kids love it there!

MY favorite place is at home sitting on my porch with this beautiful view...

Oh goodness Tekapo? Hanmer? both so lovely. I haven't been to the pools in Tekapo but I really like Hanmer especially in the snow and it is just so close to Christchurch. I guess I would have to vote Hanmer if I was to choose - and a dip in the pools would be a bonus😉🌨☃️

Of course Hanmer Springs is my favourite winter and summer destination. Love the atmosphere there. Do much to do!!!

Would have to be Hanmer springs of course 😀

Hammer of course would really love to win this for an upcoming birthday next week would be wonderful hanmer this time of the year will be even more beautiful.

Love Hanmer Springs sitting in front of a roaring fire 🔥 drinking wine 🍷, love sitting in the hot pools watching the snow ❄️ fall, so relaxing

Hanmer Springs🙂🙂 Dream of sitting in the hot pools when it is snowing at Hanmer Springs. It would be the very first experience in snow for me and my husband if we win this.....🙂🙂

📌 Photos – a section of shots this evening. Amazing colours. Lake Alexandrina – Mackenzie Country.

Good evening. It’s been an interesting day across the region with significant contrast in overhead conditions and temperatures.

🌡Culverden took top honours with 20.2 degrees while many towns and areas across the Canterbury Plains & Coast struggled to budge the low cloud/fog and recorded much cool day time ‘highs as extensive high cloud rolled in. Full list of the daily ‘highs’ via the homepage link below.

🌫 Keep an eye out for more areas of low cloud and fog ‘pockets’ overnight.

❄ WINTRY WEATHER? We’re due, after what’s been an incredibly dry and settled month of weather across the Canterbury Plains & Coast. Colder southerlies, rain and snow about the higher hills are possible later next week. Keep up to date with our ‘Live Weather Feed’ for unmatched coverage. (Members - town pages will cater for this period of weather in depth from Saturday.)

🆕️ We now have new reporters in parts of South Canterbury and the Mackenzie Country providing real time weather observations and reports this winter. A great addition and source of information.

It was great catching up with some crazy locals in Geraldine earlier today; awesome to have you on board and I hope you got some late sun!
