The pinnacle of relaxation and comfort, Onsen Hot Pools offers total tranquillity in a breathtaking location high on the cliffs overlooking the Shotover River canyon

Highlights

  • Idyllic exclusive-use cedar-lined hot pools
  • Perched on the cliffs overlooking the Shotover River and amidst a stunning mountain range
  • A newly opened massage facility offering a high-quality boutique day spa experience
  • Private pools are heated to approx 38.3 degrees and each tub is in its own pool room with a retractable roof so you can enjoy the spectacular views no matter what the weather
  • What are you waiting for, enjoy a unique kiwi twist to a Japanese tradition!

While Queenstown is generally done at full pace, Onsen Hot Pools takes a step back to let you take in the beauty of the surroundings and simply relax.

At Onsen Pools, we are very proud of the boutique day spa experience that we provide.

Boasting idyllic private cedar-lined hot pools overlooking the Shotover River, and a newly opened massage facility, the relaxation and pampering on offer here is second to none in the region, as endorsed by our Trip Advisor Certificate of Excellence for the last 3 years and our partnership with Tourism New Zealand.

Originally opened in 2007, Onsen is proudly New Zealand owned and operated, offering a unique kiwi twist to a Japanese tradition. Our exclusive-use pools are heated to approx. 38.3 degrees and each tub is in its own pool room with a retractable roof so you can enjoy the spectacular views no matter what the weather.

Our natural setting is matched by the pure water captured on its endless journey between the sky and earth to continually fill and refresh the pools.

For the ultimate experience, you can also enjoy either a couples or individual massage and facial onsite.

좋았어요!

남섬 여행자라면, 한번쯤은 경험해볼만한 온천인거같아요! 엄마와함께 마사지도 받았는데 생각보다 괜찮아서 놀랬고, 좋았어요^^ 온천은 좋았지만, 한번 경험해본걸로 만족할래요!

좋은경험이었습니다~

뜨거운물이 몸을 담구면서 예쁜풍경을 볼 수 있어서 좋았습니다. 아쉬운점이라면 제가 생각했던것보다 물이 생각보다 미지근했습니다. 조금만 더 뜨거웠다면 좋았을것같아요

너무 좋았어요~!!

우리나라 온천만큼 뜨거운 물은 아니지만 충분히 따뜻해서 풍경즐기기 좋았어요! 비오는날씨여서 조금 아쉽긴했지만 이런 곳을 처음 느껴보는지라 모든게 좋았던 것 같습니다!!

솔직히 비싸지만 한번 해볼만 합니다

1시간이라는 짧은 시간. 비교적 비싼 가격. 하지만 모든걸 상쇄해주는 전망. 서비스도 좋고 만족스런 사치였습니다.

전경이 아름다운 개인 온천풀은 잊지 못할 추억입니다.

깔끔하고, 청결한 시설에...탕내에서 보는 전경은 세계 어디에서도 보기 힘든 풍광이 펼쳐지는 독특한 온천입니다. 한국인에게는 다소 온천 수의 온도가 낮기는 하지만 오히려 적당하게 따듯하여 저는 좋았습니다. 잊지 못할 추억을 만들 수 있는 좋은 곳입니다.
