Relax in a onsen with an amazing view

We traveled to the South Island of New Zealand by car from the end of June to the beginning of July, which belongs to winter season, so how can we miss the experience of soaking in hot springs! Although the online reviews of Onsen Hot Pools are very mixed, when we made an appointment on the official website nearly three months before departure, we found that many time slots in July had already been booked. Seeing that it was so popular, we decided to give it a try. Successfully booked a traditional private indoor hot spring at dusk. Our reserved time slot was from 5:00 pm to 6:00 pm. We arrived 15 minutes early as required. The staff were very friendly. We choose our drinks first, the staff said they would send them to the hot springs with snacks later. At 4:55, the staff led us to the private hot spring, and also served drinks and snacks, indicating that there would be a reminder 10 minutes before the end of the time slot. We changed our swimsuits, there were shower facilities in the private hot springs, and after a quick shower, we immediately enjoyed the hot springs. Spring water dynamics, lights, door switches, etc., can be automatically adjusted by action buttons right next to the hot spring. While enjoying the hot springs to relax our body and mind, we enjoyed the sunset and the beautiful mountains. One hour passed without knowing it, the fatigue of rushing for the trip for several days was relieved, and we all left with satisfied smiles. Overall, we recommend everyone to try it out. The key points of the reservation are as follows: 1. It is convenient and easy to make an appointment on the official website, and it can also be cancelled free of charge at the specified time 2. There are two types of hot springs: outdoor and indoor. It is also available for 4 people to book together. The more number of people to share, the cheaper for each 3. Each session is an hour 4. Be sure to make an appointment at least 2-3 months in advance as if super popular 5. The hot spring is currently undergoing expansion work, so arrive early to be on time You need to report to the front desk 15 minutes before your scheduled time slot 6. It doesn't matter if you are not self-driving, because they provide hourly pick-up and drop off service, a small from the centre of Queenstown. #can’t miss experience
