Our guests say it best

"This place is FANTASTIC and super relaxing. So professional, beautiful and clean, with every little detail taken care of for you. This is the ultimate experience in Queenstown and I would highly recommend it."

June 2026

"When we arrived on site we immediately felt relaxed just from the atmosphere of the place! The hot pool was such a nice experience looking over the water and mountains! We finished our experience off with a 60 minute massage that was definitely worth it!"

July 2026

"Amazing experience. Staff are all amazing from the shuttle driver to the staff at the hot pools. This experience lives up to the hype. Definitely a must do in Queenstown."

August 2026

"We thoroughly enjoyed our Onsen bathing experience. Couldn’t fault the experience! Flawless service, clean, professional, relaxing. Stunning views, calm and relaxing atmosphere. All the staff we encountered were friendly and helpful. The onsen was clean and hot and loved the open air views. Definitely worth every penny and have recommended it to all our friends. We will definitely be back ourselves in the future too! "

"Such a great experience at Onsen Hot Pools! The views over the mountains and Shotover River were amazing, and relaxing in the hot pools made it even better. The place was clean, peaceful and the staff were lovely. Definitely a must-do if you’re visiting Queenstown!"

August 2026

"What an experience! I have been to a few spas around the world and the view from the Onsen hot pools is 100% worth the money. I booked the Oval Onsen + 1 hour massage and was lucky enough to get an extra 15 minutes in the hot pools as I arrived early & the room was free. The view walking into the pool room is breathtaking. The pool turns off when your time is up, a quick shower in the pool room and a staff member is waiting outside your door to guide you to your treatment room. The massage was a lovely way to finish the experience but it’s really all about the pools. I would 100% recommend and return if ever in Queenstown again."

"An absolute must if you are passing through Queenstown! I treated myself with oval onsen and 1h relax massage and had a blast. After 2.5w of roadtrip it was just what my body needed. The view from oval onsen is stunning! In the price a complementary drink was included and a snack. The place is spotlessly clean and everyone was both very polite and super professional. If I ever come back here, would def. do it again!"

December 2025

"This experience was the perfect way to relax and treat myself on the last day of my two week trip. I was staying in Queenstown, and the spa helped arrange transportation for me, which I thought was very convenient. I booked a 1 hour oval onsen experience and a 1 hour deep tissue massage. Complimentary snacks and drinks were provided during and after the experience. The views from the onsen were breathtaking. I had previously stayed at an onsen hotel in Mt. Fuji, and the views did not compare! I highly recommend this experience to anyone traveling to Queenstown!"
