The dirtiest swimming pool in Canberra, with the worst customer service. You find wristbands everywhere, the toilets are dirty all the time, and many of the male-shower sensors don’t work. I raised this with reception, and they showed the worst attitude, acting like I was lying. They don’t even bother to say “hi” sometimes, someone should teach them how to smile! Some of the showers don’t even hav...

The gym is fine, however, customer service from management is poor. I have been chasing a refund from being double charged and am owed hundreds, however, after three months I continue to be ignored.

As if you are willing to do anything. Did you bother to even...

A great swim with a slide for the kids, whirlpool, spa, sauna, and lap pools for me, we loved it all. The condition of all equipment, including showers were great considering other simular centres. My only concern with this pool is the humidity inside, its good to be warm but can fe...
