Lovely view, relaxing experience.

Andres who took us on the safari was the best, he was absolutely amazing and had such attention to detail, and of course great rapport with us. Adrian who took us on the Milford coach was pretty good too, he was funny. Onsen and Milford boat cruise were nice, but of course it was a less personal experience with them.
Product rating: good
It was an absolutely fantastic experience. I just think that it was not a full hour as I was timing it myself. Other than that it was beautiful, clean, and I will come again to experience it during the day.

Staff were courteous, discreet and helpful. The whole process including pick up and return after the spa was streamlined and low key - and helped us enjoy ourselves.

I cannot get over the beauty of Queenstown but on seen hot pools was the highlight of my trip and I even did the Milford sound tour. The hot pools were incredible, so beyond relaxing and romantic. Luckily we got a night where the sky's were clear and you could see the stars perfectly, over looking the mountains. We also got the package which included your choice of beverage (alcohol) and snacks... there definitely wasn't enough wine but the view and the hot tub made up for it. Seriously everyone needs to do this!!!! So worth it in every way
Product rating: excellent
I thought it just wrote a review for this, which was very thoughtout but apparently that wasn't for the hot pools.. SO, long story short, onsen hot pools is a MUST in Queenstown, so romantic and relaxing. Nothing short of amazing. You can get a package which includes alcohol but they're very small glasses...but the view of the mountains and the river bed below and then when night hits and the stars come out it is just... I don't even have the words for it. Amazing

The staff member isn't really helpful on booking onsen hot pool for us. They've offered us a tuesday night 8pm and the slot has been taken by others the moment we ve replied. They did offered other time slot as an alternative, however it didn't work out for us. As a result, I've booked another time with onsen directly which I didn't got offered by everything. No extra miles whatsoever.

It was probably too hot, but a pretty awesome experience. The indulgence pack was a bit of a rip off given the candles were fake and just plastic.

Belinda was very helpful in all the arrangement for the packages and even helped me at the last minute when I arrived in Queenstown and had my luggage delayed by the airline by shifting around some of the items in the itinerary.

The Hot pool was serene and isolated. once the roof retracted, the stars were amazing and romantic. Pool was of decent size and was warm throughout. 1 hour didn't feel enough. Would recommend to try this at least once in your trip to Queenstown.

Very efficient with bookings. Would definitely recommend.

It was not bad, There was a couple in there just before us so the room/floor was all wet and the water was not exactly clean (i.e. there were a few leaves, etc). It's great to do once.

The service of the booking agent was good
Product rating: good
The overall experience was nice, but I was disappointed that the supposed indulgence package offered... a half bottle of wine and the wine was not even New Zealand..and a small bowl of grapes. With the price of the package I would expect that the word indulgence should have that extra level of attention to detail and it definitely came up short.
Service rating: good
This service was good & convenient however I would probably book directly with the supplier next time due to late changes with our bookings (due to injury).

Good hospitality service... Water was great. The only problem is direction in the form of billboards etc could be implement a little more so tourist be assured of the location. Would recommend this to others.
Everything Travel Group Review
By far the key to this gem is the location. Onsen Hot Pools are perched right on top of Arthurs Point overlooking the Shotover River and a number of mountain ranges. The operation is very professional and facilities are in great condition. There are all sorts of 'add ons' you can select and once in the hot pool you press a button and a huge garage style door opens up and you are half inside and half outside with the most amazing view, hot water and cool crisp air. Would do this again and again, it's great value for money and the perfect pre/post dinner wind down.
Suggestions: There is a button beside the hot pool where you control the bubbles which says "Cold Water NOTE comes from above" make sure you press this very funny! Also they are very busy after 5pm during the WInter as the Ski bunnies come off the mountain, so book in advance if possible.
Value for Money

Latest Questions about Hot Pools - Onsen (Queenstown)
Dear staff,
we are taking our 2yo to Queenstown and really want to check out Onsen hot pool. Do you have child minding there? We are happy to pay for it during the spa/pool time. Thank you. Colleen
Comments
None of the Queenstown tour operators offer child minding services and there isn't a child minding facility at the Onsen hot pools however there is a child minding service in Queenstown that can look after your child for an hourly rate. See the link below for more details:
Where is the hot spa located?
I will be staying in millbrook. is it near there?
Hi there, would the landscape scenery be visible at all at night? also, if we did the candlelit option, do you think this would make the night sky and scenery any less visible? Thank you :)
Comments
You cannot see as much at night from the Onsen hot pools but if the moon is out and the sky is clear then you can still see some of the landscape. The candles don't effect your ability to see outside too much as they aren't especially bright. The hot pools in Queenstown are really busy at night during winter so we do recommend booking well in advance.
Hi, I'm arriving to Queenstown in November, how much anticipation I need to make a reservation for 1 adult?
Thank you
Can the temperature be adjusted below 100F in the hot pools?
Thank you
Comments
Hi Jenna. You can regulate the heat of the Onsen hot pool in Queenstown by adding cold water from the tap above the hot pool.
What is the recommended time for the sunset in April 13 this year? Thank you.
Hi Can you please advise if we can do the indulgence package but with candles and make it for around 8 or 9 pm? It would be for our last night in Queenstown on 4 January. If so I will book with you. Please advise thank you
Comments
Hi Anne, unfortunately the Candle Package won't be available at that time as it will still be light at 8pm and 9pm in January so the candles are only available for 10pm pools. You would still be able to have the indulgence pack at 8 or 9pm though.
Hi. Can you bring your own wine / drinks to the spa?
Thanks
Comments
Hi Manny. Onsen are not licensed so you are unfortunately unable to bring in alcoholic drinks to the pools. You are welcome to bring water or soft drinks with you just not alcoholic drinks.
Hi there my fiance and I are coming to queenstown next weekend 13th of June and would love to come to the hot pools on the Saturday at night time are all the pools private? ans is one hour sufficient ? as we were looking at around 9pm? as we wouild like to include a couple packages too :) we are staying at scenic suites can we get the courtesy coach to and from ?
Comments
Hi AJ. Yes all the Onsen hot pools in Queenstown are private. One hour is the standard length of time you can book the hot pools for and this is sufficient for most people although you can extend the time when you are there if there is availability. If you book at night after the sun goes down (after 9pm in summer and 5pm in winter) then you can also book the candlelight package. The indulgence or pamper packs are available at any time. The bus will pick you up from out the front of the Station building in central Queenstown 30 minutes prior to your booking and bring you back afterwards.
Hi there,
We are travelling to Queenstown in December. Would like to try the Night time pool. Which timing should we be looking at? Is it possible to select the night time without the candlelight option?
Comments
Hi Lena
If you would like to do the Onsen Hot Pools in Queenstown during December then I would suggest booking the last trip time of 9pm. This will ensure you are going during the late evening as it gets darker. You do not have to book the candle light package with this time if you don't want to.
Hi, just wondering up to what age is considered child?
Comments
Hi Jen, Onsen Hot Pools child age is from 5-15 years and children must be accompanied by an adult.
Hi will this be available between 13th-18th of November?
Comments
Hi Clarissa,
I'm sorry the pools are having renovations made to them and will not be available until after the 19th November.
my self and 2 mates are going to queenstown from 10th september, at this time of year how far in advance to book a spa?
Comments
Hi Christian, the Onsen Hot Pools are still very popular throughout September so I would still recommend booking at least a few days in advance and if possible even a week in advance in order to sercure your desired booking time and date.
hi gus can u combine 2 options in one visit ...candle light and indulgence ???
Comments
Hi Errol, yes you certainly can include more than one optional extra at the Onsen Hot Pools. You can include as many as you like.
Gidday i would like to book in for two adults with the indulgence pack for 105.00 if we bring our one year old is she free? thank you
Comments
Hi Katherine, your one year old is free up until 3pm. Bookings after 3pm incur a $10 charge for infants at Onsen Hot Pools.
I was thinking of getting this for my partner,daughter(8years) and I. I was wondering I'm thinking of getting the indulgence pack for my partner and I. Am I able to get something for my daughter like a pamper pack??? But for one not two??
Comments
Hi Ari. All the Onsen packages are for 2 people unfortunately however you can purchase drinks for $3, aromatherapy burner for $5 or hire a large cotton spa towel for $3.
During the night time, if a candle light package is not booked, what kind of lighting should we expect. Can the lights be dimmed?
Thank you
Comments
Hi Aimee. If you book the Onsen hot pools in Queenstown there are lights you can turn out. At night time if the moon is out then you don't need the lights on at all.
Is it possible to book a pool for 2 hours instead of one please?
Comments
Hi Lisa, yes it certainly is, you just need to note it in the "additional information" field when you make your booking for the Queenstown Onsen Hot Pools and we will arrange it for you. If there is 2 of you booking for a pool it will cost $144 for you both for 2 hours. The cost is $40 each for the first hour and then $16 each per additional 30 mins. The Onsens are fabulous in winter!
how much is the candlelight package deal?
Comments
Hi Shareena, the Candlelight package at Onsen is an additional $20. If you want to book this you just have to let us know in the 'additional information' box when making your booking and we will arrange this for you.
If we stay in Pinewood Lodge, do you provide shuttle service between Pinewood Lodge and Hot Pools?
Comments
Hi Jackon, Onsen Hot Pools do provided transport that departs from a central location in Queenstown but not accommodation. The pick up point is outside the Station Building on the corner of Shotover St and Camp St which is only 1km down the road from Pinewood Lodge.
Like to book late afternoon just before dark what time would you recommend
Comments
Hi Carolyn. The Sunset changes significantly during the year depending on the season. During late May and early June sunset in Queenstown is approximately 5pm so if you book your hot pool for 4pm you should get a bit of sunlight and dark.
Hi would 2 adults and 3 children fit in a pool
Comments
Hi Janne you would need two pools. Up to 4 people may share 1 pool at Onsen Queenstown
Is the absoloute maximum 4 adults per tub? We have 5 and would prefer not to have to split up because of one to many.
Comments
Hi Teagan. Yes unfortunately the maximum number of adults allowed in an Onsen Hot Pool in Queenstown is 4. You really wouldn't want anymore in there as it would be too congested. If there are 5 of you then you will need to book 2 pools, 1 for 3 adults and 1 for 2 adults.
me and my wife would love to do it after the jet boating. according to your experience,would one hour be enough? or we need two hours? I guess the changing and shower time included in the time as well,
Comments
Hi Andriy yes one hour in the Onsen Hot Pools is generally enough. If you are getting transfers from Queenstown they pick you up half an hour before your pool time so that gives you enough time to get organised when you get there. If you want to book for two hours you are more than welcome to you just pay for the pool again for the second hour.
A simple question. Is wearing bathing suits optional, as I take it these are private pools.
Comments
Hi Kyra, yes that is correct. The Onsen Hot Pools are secluded private pools so your bathing suit is optional.
Can you please tell me how much the candlelight package is please
Comments
Hi Cathy. The Candlelight package at the Onsen Hot Pools in Queenstown costs $20 extra. If you wish to book this then you need to book a late time (ie after the sun has gone down) and mention that you wish to book the candlelight package in the 'additional information' window in the booking page.
Do you accept American Express payments online bookings? I couldn't do it??
Comments
Hi Orquidea.
Yes we do accept American Express (Amex) payment for Onsen Hot Pool bookings and all other activities listed on our website. When you get to the Check Out page simply add your card details and click 'process my booking' and if your payment is successful a screen will appear showing that your payment has been made and we will then email your e ticket and booking confirmation.

Hi Alan,
Thank you for your email. I am sorry that the space offered to you was taken by another customer as we awaited a response from you. If we had been aware your group had access to your own vehicle and did not necessarily require a transfer then we would have been able to provide your group with more options than we initially gave you. The Onsen Hot Pools are an extremely popular activity so we do recommend to book well in advance to secure your preferred date and time.
Your card was refunded in full for your cancelled trip.
I hope you enjoyed your experience with Onsen.

Alex Roberts
