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.

Book the day session for views
The most relaxing part of our trip! Got to unwind and really soak in the night sky 😂 so I definitely would recommend the day sessions if you are after the scenic views. Guttered we missed an earlier slot but regardless it’s an amazing place to relax. Highly would recommend this for couples! It’s a must try when you go to Queenstown.
