Our customers say it best

"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!"

Iva Cvjeticanin

"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!"

"We did the Onsen Classic on our first day and it was totally worth it. It was not enough, because the next day we booked the Oval Experience with the massage — incredible. Truly VIP service and a dedicated experience from start to finish. Book in advance to get the best time slot and the full experience — worth every penny. We had an amazing time."
