Why Spice Village is a Hit with Families Visiting Hanmer Springs

When you're on a family getaway in Hanmer Springs, finding a place to eat that keeps everyone happy can be a mission. But don't worry — we’ve got you. At Spice Village, we’ve turned “Where should we eat?” into one of the easiest decisions of your trip.

Here’s why families keep coming back to our table:


1. Space to Relax, Room to Breathe

We know dining with kids isn't always peaceful — but it can be enjoyable! Our restaurant is warm, welcoming, and spacious enough that you won’t feel like you’re crammed into a corner with the stroller, car seats, or half a playground of toys.


2. Something for Even the Fussiest Eaters

We see it all the time: Mum’s after something spicy, Dad’s playing it safe, one kid only eats rice, and the other’s on a no-veggies policy. Our menu caters to all of them — with flavours ranging from mild and creamy to bold and spicy. And if someone’s got food allergies or dietary needs? Just let us know — we’re more than happy to help.


3. Friendly Faces and Fast Service

We get it — hungry kids wait for no one. Our team knows how to read a table and move quick when needed, especially for the little ones. We’re all about service with a smile (and sometimes a sticker or a high five too).


4. No Judgement Zone

Tantrum in the middle of dinner? Dropped rice all over the floor? Sippy cup launched across the table? You’re not the first, and definitely not the last. We’re a family too — and we welcome yours just as you are.


5. Memories Made Over a Meal

Whether it's your kid’s first time trying something new or a family tradition every time you’re in Hanmer, there’s something special about sitting down together and sharing good food. We love being part of those little moments — they’re the big ones, really.


A Family Spot You Can Count On

So if you’re looking for a spot that’s as kid-friendly as it is flavour-packed, swing by Spice Village. We’ll have a comfy seat, a warm meal, and a welcoming smile waiting for the whole crew — from Grandma to the littlest legend.

Thanks again for all the support and aroha from our visiting families. You’re not just customers — you’re part of our story too.
