"Having lived in Japan for 3 years, I quickly grew to love the onsen (hot spring) culture that they have carried there for centuries! Onsens in Japan are closely tied to relaxation and healing, and I love how this place has incorporated those values into this busy mountain town of New Zealand.
This is a pricier option (starting from $85NZD/person), but is the best way to relax and unwind during your weekend in the South Island - soaking in a private hot pool overlooking the mountains is tough to beat!"

"You're surrounded by the stunning natural beauty of the Queenstown area, soaking in a private cedar-lined hot pool that's perched high above the Shotover River. As you ease into the warm, soothing water, you'll feel your worries melt away.
The Onsen Hot Pools offer not only tranquility but also breathtaking panoramic views that change with the seasons. Whether you go in the winter with snow-capped mountains or during the lush green of summer, it's a slice of heaven.
Price: NZ$ 117.50"

"A must-do treat yourself. These private hot pools overlook the shotover river. You can also book a package and book yourself a massage too. They offer a complimentary shuttle from queenstown central but be sure to book this. Stunning views, a glass of bubbles and soak up the beauty of this spot. Whether it's post-hike or you just feel to indulge, definitely worth visiting. "
