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

We rang and booked a hot tub the night before. The owner came and picked us up and was really helpful and nice. Staff were really good. The hot tub was organised as soon as we got there. Grabbed some towels and got straight to it. Hot tubs were a great temperature after a few days of skiing and boarding.... more

My wife took me here and I had no idea what I was in for. Make sure you pay the little extra and order the 'Candle' package. It's well worth it. Its very clean and couldn't fault the place. If its raining even better. When you get inside your pool you have a range of controld for water, bubbles and... more

We never would have gone to the Onsen Hot Pools unless it was raining. Onsen Hot Pools are a ten minute drive from Queenstown. The hot pool was a wooden tub with a wooden deck. A shower is available in the room. The opening overlooking Skipper's Canyon has a garage door that you can control. You can also control the... more

Had a morning to kill in Queenstwon, so gave them a call, arranged for a quick pickup from our hotel, and off we went... an the only thing we regret is not having booked if for the previous night!! Great views (we saw a couple of the speed boats manouvering in the river) on a bright, sunny day. The rooms... more

I visited here after seeing the exeptional reviews on tripadvisor, and I really wasn't disappointed. The hot tubs are everything you could wish for, and the view is great. I suspect that this place is even better on a really cold night with clear skies but - sadly my night was overcast and drizzling. Nevertheless the view over the valley... more

My daughter and l spent an amazing hour after a tiring journey, in our own private room with heated pool and shower,to cap it all the roof was retractable ,to reveal the sensational outdoor scenery. Pure clean alpine water.Shuttle service. Run by a friendly family. Give this a try, its an amazing experience and real value for money. more

Wow, what a place. As an owner of a hot tub at home for over a decade I still wasn't prepared for what we found at Onsen. We booked two hours and crossed our fingers for a clear night. The pools are classic Asian/California style wooden tubs- deep and extremely clean. Onsen's method for water purification is the best available... more

We visited this place after finding it on trip advisor, and after the few days we had, it was a dream come true. We were collected from the station (the main pick up place in town) by a small bus and taken 20 mins out of town to the facilities. When we arrived we were greeted and told about what... more

We had a very relaxing experience! They picked us up in town and the dropped us off at our hotel because it was raining. Each party gets their own hot pool. There is a shower for you to rinse off before and after. The room has a retractable wall/roof (like a garage) and you open it up to stunning views!... more

I had heard very little about this attraction but based on feedback rating seen on TA i deciced to visit this place during my honeymoon. About 2 mins drive passing the shotover river, the private pool rooms and the the way this place has been maintained is very impressive. Even the price is very low as compared to other spa... more
