Fantastic experience: Love the rock climbing gym! Rhys was incredibly knowledgeable, kind, helpful and informative, helping me and my group to feel safer and smarter about climbing. Rhys provided a phenomenal experience that I would recommend to anybody at any level of climbing. Hope to see him here for years and years to come!

Fantastic experience: Now, this review is based on picking up race bags for the Queenstown Marathon (I'm fat and tired and did the 10km, don't judge but it's quicker to the pub and every time I do a Half Marathon I can't walk right for a few days!) Anyway, place us nice, has all the amenities and will be a lot better when eventually the finish the Francton roundabout!

Negative experience: We visited the pools while on holidays in Queenstown. My 17.5 year old son was charged entry as an adult at the front counter, then not allowed in the hot tubs because he “looks too short for his age and doesn’t have ID.” My three children followed a group of other kids to the large pool, where a group of kids were bombing, jumping and doing flips. My kids tried to join in but an adult with the other group said to a supervising staff member “those kids aren’t with us, so you can yell at them all you like.” The supervising staff member then verbally abused my children in front of onlookers and threatened to kick them out of the pool. We left after this feeling so embarrassed and uncomfortable. I really don’t think they like tourists here. The pool itself was otherwise nice to enjoy.

Fantastic experience: I've been to every single gym in the QT area (except Queenstown Gym) and this is the best gym at the best value. Great facility for many different gym-going disciplines.

Chris Hailey 6 years ago

Negative experience: Experienced climbers told we cannot climb here on a Sunday morning because we dont have lead licences for this specific climbing gym. Being as I have been to this gym before and lead climbed here a few times and never had this problem, Im not sure what the problem is... Also, no supervision of the climbing wall??? seems odd that not one person on staff to oversee this or provide an induction. Ah well thanks for limiting us on this wet day in Queenstown, I look forward to being here and having the new facility that is opening soon apparently.

Carlos Ferrari 6 years ago

Negative experience: Pools are not too bad - could be cleaner though - but my main issue was too many people at the same time on a quite small gym (and som would hog the equipment while chatting with mates or checking social media in their phones) and worse the number of freedom campers that would use the restrooms without being members. This got so bad I ended up paying the resignation fee to get out of there and go to another gym as quick as I could seeing that complaining to management didn’t help change much.

Mat Dcp 7 years ago

Negative experience: Plusieurs semaines que je vais à cette piscine. La piscine en elle même est très bien ainsi que le spa. Malheureusement le staff est très impolie. Ils ne disent jamais au revoir, à peine bonjour et ne sourit jamais. Les vestiaires sont des fois propres des fois très sale. (Photo de ce dimanche 5 novembre)
