20 - 21 Feb - The next day we headed to Hanmer Springs via Lyttleton and enjoyed lunch on the way at the Lyttleton Coffee Company, a buzzing bunker like structure with great food and even greater coffee. This is a place we definitely want to head back to as there is more to it than meets the eye. It is a busy commercial area with houses built high up on the hills and around the Bay are wonderful small settlements where the locals enjoy a great outdoor lifestyle.
In Hammer Springs we stayed at the YHA, although the room was comfy the place was let down by the selfish other guests (mainly family groups) who treated the place as if it was a hotel - do they not realise they have to clear up after themselves when cooking? Nobody is paid to clear up after you! We spent the late afternoon and evening at the Springs - a series of spa pools of varying temperatures. There are walks you can do, but otherwise the springs are the main attraction of going to Hanmer.
