The NZ onsen experience

Experience the rejuvenating properties of chemical-free fresh mountain water; immersion in your private tub will deeply cleanse & revitalise your body...

Hot Tubs Omarama water is sourced from snow and glacial melt water coming from a series of glaciers on Mount Huxley in the Barrier Range and flowing into the Ahuiriri River. The water is then drawn up from a well in the earth.

In the bliss of absolute privacy treat yourself to the kiwi version of a Japanese Onsen set in the midst of the South Island’s iconic High Country. Enjoy watching the birds on the pond and the gliders surfing the wind currents.

Through complete relaxation your body’s balance will be restored and your mind eased. Our tubs are cleaned & refilled for each use. Used water is irrigated on the land supporting a sustainable environment...

In Summer

What better way to escape the heat than immersing in a cool tub, enjoying the fulsome summer light and bristling landscape of dried tussock grassland. In the evening indulge in a tub with the temperature of your choice.

In Winter

With steam rising off your tub, you will have a vista of snow on the hills and often covering the lower ground. A hot tub will release the clenching and tension that comes from the cold. Experience the extraordinary liberation of being out in the open air, free from all those hampering layers of winter clothing, bathed in hot water in a beautiful winter landscape.

By Day or Night
