Why Travelers Love The Bathhouse
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
Lakefront drinks on the gravel beach in the cool spring sunshine. Can’t beat that really. A cold pint and a pear soda plus a bowl of chips. Perfect early evening little snack. Friendly staff and good table service. Great location and view! I found the food just fine, but the service and location was outstanding being right on the water and receiving very complementary service. The cappuccino was well done, but the avocado for the avocado toast tasted a bit packaged. Overall good experience though for a touristy area. The donut was one of the better pastries I’ve had in a long time. They mixed jam with a house whip cream and stuffed it in a cinnamon sugar donut. It was light and so good without being too sweet. Quite expensive, a lot like the rest of eating out places in QT, but… “proper” good food and matcha… yes matcha probably the best in Queenstown I’d say anyway. We walked in and luckily snagged a seat, (outdoor seating is not possible during or after wet weather events), regardless I’d recommend calling up before hand, you can tell it’s a popular destination, with the quality of food getting dished out it’s not hard to see why.

The Bathhouse impresses not only with its unique location right by the water but also with its exceptional service and outstanding food. Every dish was perfectly prepared, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. The attention to detail and the balance of flavors in each course truly elevated the dining experience. The friendly and attentive staff made sure everything was seamless, adding to the overall charm of the place. It’s rare to find a restaurant that combines stunning views, top-notch service, and culinary excellence so effortlessly. Every bite brought a smile to our faces – highly recommended!
