The pools are located at the bottom of a rather windy set of stairs so walking down in the icy conditions wasn't ideal but the view of the starry night sky viewed when sitting in an enormous hot tub are not to be missed! A truly unique experience.

Comparing similar experiences to Japanese onsen ... the wáter was not hot enough. We visited this place in May13 and the temperature was sub 10 degrees. Apart from that we were very impressed with the design of the open window and rooftop which allowed us to feel the outdoor and fresh air. The view is best in the afternoon. If... More

My wife and I visited in September 2011 and this was one of our many highlights, but one of the top few in/around Queenstown. It was great to soak in the beauty of the NZ evening stars. It was recommended by our hotel and they set it all up, it was easy to find and I didn't want our time... More

Great experience, wonderful staff. Courtesy bus not that comfy but gets you there fine and for free. Lovely romantic time, or fun time with friends. The opening door / roof is just magical - watch the stars or the stunningly beautiful view from the comfort of a hot bath! Take your own drinks (in a plastic bottle) and own candles... More

We are a group of 5 adults from Thailand who have all tried onzen in Japan many times. But this was no comparison. The pools are private, thank God! The views are unimaginable. The place is clean and the hospitality friendly. GREAT!

I always get a little worried with public spa pools, especially private ones, but these people go out of their way to keep the pools immaculately clean (they put a special filter in the pool after every session)! The weather on the day was terrible with torrential rain but this just made the whole experience even better and we could... More

We were lucky that they had a cancellation and could book us a slot on very short notice. It was late at night and raining, so no view of the river. The spa pools were fantastic and terribly romantic. We've been to many spa pools before and this one was the most private and intimate. The water was a lovely... More

My fiance & I visited the hot pools after an action packed day of skydiving. It was our 7 year anniversary so we opted for the candlelight package and it was truly magical. The entire experience was out of this world. We were able to push a button and the walls and ceiling retracted, leaving us to enjoy the night... More

We have visited the hot tubs twice on our visit and both times thoroughly enjoyed the experience. We did a night soak with the candles and also did a day soak to experience the views over the river with the jet boats going by. The staff were very helpful and the atmosphere was very relaxing.
