Soak in the iconic Onsen experience

Our classic cedar-lined hot pools offer a uniquely Kiwi twist on a traditional Japanese bathing experience. Perched above the Shotover River, each exclusive-use pool is filled with pure mountain water and gently heated to a soothing approx 38.3°C.

Enjoy uninterrupted tranquillity, surrounded by panoramic alpine views and the peaceful sounds of nature. With a retractable roof, your soak transforms effortlessly from a cosy retreat to an open-air escape under the sky – all at the push of a button.

Perfect for individuals or groups of up to four.

Please note: your one-hour booking includes changing time. Separate changing facilities are available if you need additional time to get ready post-soak.

Health Advisory

We advise anyone with an underlying medical or health condition to consult their doctor should they have any queries regarding the use of the hot pools.

As a guideline, we do not recommend bathing during pregnancy due to the temperature of the pools. That said, we do still have women that are pregnant that still choose to bathe.  If you have any concerns about having a Hot Pool during your pregnancy, please consult your GP or obstetrician.

Child Policy

As per our health and safety policy, we do not allow children under the age of 5 to enter the hot pool or pool room as they can easily become overheated and dehydrated.

Ages 5 to 15 must be accompanied by a paying adult over the age of 16. We ask that children are accompanied by a parent/guardian at all times.

To ensure we retain a relaxed, quiet environment after hours for all guests, evening sessions are restricted to 12+.
