Top Notch Service, Great food, big portions!

Cargo Gantley was has a cosy and welcoming aura the second you walk in! The staff were amazing and very helpful and when they brought the food we realised we ordered more than we could handle! Nonetheless, the food was great and we would definitely come back if we were to visit again!

Our first degustation as a whānau - loved by all. The food was elegant, tantalising, and satisfying. The ambiance was warm, intimate and classy. Knowledgeable and inviting staff.

The ambiance, the service and the food were all spectacular. We chose the six course degustation menu and then added the wine to compliment the dishes. Each wine complimented the course perfectly and added to the enjoyment of the food. We will definitely come back on our return to Queenstown.

Went with my family. Had a great time bowling here, great environment. We had a lot of fun and we got quite competitive. We weren't familiar with the controls, but a worker helped us around it. Before our booking we played some games in the lobby. We had lots of laughs here. Will be back.

This was our second visit to Onset and it didn't disappoint. Try and time your visit with the sunset for some seriously amazing colours reflecting on the snow capped mountains in front of you. We added the $25 indulge package to our soak which included bubbles, trad ion a lot New Zealand ice cream, water, towels and an oil burner which smelt incredible. My only whinge and this is really going on a Kim would be sharing the small piccolo of bubbles.. one each would be ideal but that's just me being greedy! We'll be back.

The hot pool has a very good privacy, no disturbs by others. With amazing view as well, especially in this freezing season. The place is quite cosy and staffs are friendly. I hope I can stay longer. I have booked another day to experience the night time pool.

My husband and I went in August at 8.30am and it was amazing, clear blue sky, sun was out, was nice and brisk outside, stunning views of snowy mountains, the jet boat sped past just as we were about to leave. Was lovely and peaceful and would most definitely do it again... maybe at night next time! Thankyou for an enjoyable relaxing experience!

As honeymooners we find Onsen a special treat. The experience is exactly as described. If booking in the summer, don't bother shelling out more money for the twilight session because the sun sets so late and the last booking is 8pm so you won't see the stars like the promo photos. Happy with my decision. The deal is pretty sweet and I would recommend bookme for future activities.

Great experience that lived up to my expectations. The Onsen staff, were so helpful and welcoming. Very well presented facilities throughout the complex. Our tub and bay was clean, the water warm with various options for the jet stream control for bubbles, lovely shower and towels available. Great choice of snacks and drinks to chose from. Stunning views of the Shotover River and we were spoilt by fresh snowfall on the surrounding mountains. Loved that the Onsen lived up to our expectations! Ataahua, beautiful!
