The Presbyterian Church, Hanmer Springs, was built in 1892, and rebuilt in the following year in consequence of being overthrown by a hurricane. From 1874 onward, monthly services were held in the settlement by the minister stationed at Waiau, but in 1899, during the tourist season, more frequent services were provided, and now regular services are conducted by a resident minister; and a Sunday school is held in the church. The manse at Hanmer was completed in January 1902, and stands on a portion of the section of three acres of land, not very far from the church.
