Discover the Best Queenstown Pools and Hot tubs

Our Queenstown pools and hot tubs are the perfect way to wind down after a day exploring the wonders of the region.

When people think of Queenstown, New Zealand, they often imagine the rugged peaks of the Remarkables, the thrill of bungy jumps, or the serenity of Lake Wakatipu. But if you seek some tranquil times, Queenstown offers more than meets the eye, as it's home to an array of swimming pools, hot pools, and hot tubs that promise relaxation, rejuvenation, and remarkable scenery.

In this lush environment, you can unwind in style, soaking in the panoramic splendour of the Southern Alps and beyond.

Here's our snapshot of Queenstown pools and hot tubs.

Onsen Hot Pools

Location: 160 Arthurs Point Rd, Arthur's Point, a 10-minute drive from central Queenstown.

Tucked into a mountainside overlooking the dramatic Shotover River, Onsen Hot Pools offer a quintessentially Kiwi relaxation experience. This collection of private cedar hot tubs brings a slice of paradise to life, with views that shift from rugged river canyons to starry night skies. Each of their 14 timber lined hot tubs can comfortably accommodate up to four people, while their private oval tubs are designed for individuals or couples. Onsen Hot Pools have a distinct allure, featuring retractable walls that can open to showcase the sweeping Shotover landscape—or remain closed for a more cozy, secluded experience. Onsen also offer a range of relaxing spa treatments to soothe away your cares. They also offer a complimentary shuttle from central Queenstown, which needs to be booked with your hot tub/spa experience.

Public access is readily available through bookings. It is highly recommended to book ahead, especially during peak tourist seasons, to ensure your place in this soothing oasis.
