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

I have been to Onseen on many occasions, and all have been enjoyable. My 1st visit was a romantic candle lit evening as a birthday present and have been hooked every since. Friendly staff. Relaxing times. Amazing views. Great times.

My wife and I have been to all the hot pools in New Zealand but Onsen is by far the best. I surprised my wife with a twilight spa and the romance package which she absolutely loved. The privacy and the views can't be beaten.

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
