This has to be the most relaxing activity you could do when visiting Queenstown

This has to be the most relaxing activity you could do when visiting Queenstown. It was amazing in winter, I can only assume further into winter with more snow it would be even more beautiful. You overlook the mountains in an extremely private room. The water is a perfect temperature and you have the option to add drinks to your package at the pools themselves. The hour I purchased was more than enough relaxation time, though you can get longer periods. The staff were great and friendly. I would definitely return on my next trip over.
