Housed in cedar-lined bathing rooms, complete with shower, changing area, breathtaking mountain views, and unique picture-windows that retract into the roof at the touch of a button. At night dim the lights and watch the southern constellations wheel past overhead! « less

This is the perfect way to end a day of adventure in Queenstown! About 10min outside of Queenstown. In town pick up available. Private rooms. Changing room available. Showers in each private room to rinse off. Bring your own towel(s) unless you want to pay to use one of theirs. Mood lighting is relaxing and the view is incredible!!! Staff... More

The Onsen Hot Pools are in such a beautiful place and it was sooooo relaxing to sit in the hot spa with a glass of bubbly, looking out (the windows open right up) on that awesome landscape. I really really really enjoyed this place and visiting it is must for anyone coming to Queenstown. I would imagine it is even... More

We booked the candle light package and were blown away by how beautiful the setting and the spa were. Being able to open the roof and look at the stars while you relax with the candles flickering was pure bliss. The staff were lovely and they provided a free shuttle service. Will definately book again next time we are in... More

The option to open the door was the best thing, giving us the option to sit in the pool watching the moon and the stars. It was very relaxing, we would have definitely gone back there if we had the time. More

Whoever thought of having private Hot Pools with such a beautiful setting was certainly onto something. This was the most amazing spot, and cant wait to go back when the snow has settled on the terrain. 2 downfalls to this place. Firstly the stairs back upto the carpark, last thing I felt like doing. and secondly the discussions caused over... More

This was an activity we'd been wanting to try on our previous trips, but couldn't work out the timing. The transportation was on time and easy, the spa location is remote and gorgeous. The atmosphere in general is quite relaxing, but while we were there we had to contend with a very loud family next door and a smoker on... More
