BROOK SABIN
New Zealand’s largest and steepest slide has opened in Hanmer Springs. We take it for a test ride.
If you are looking to melt away the stress of 2020, look no further than Hanmer Springs. A 90-minute drive north from Christchurch, the Alpine Village offers everything you need to relax – even with kids in tow. The combination spa, water park and hot pool complex is the main attraction, but there is plenty else to do with little ones: Mini-golf, mountain-biking, fairy door forest, animal park, short walks, several playgrounds and a raft of family-friendly cafés and restaurants.
