What makes it 79% Couple-Friendly: A couple can swim together, share aqua classes, play free beach volleyball and cook lunch on the barbecues, with shaded lawns for relaxing side by side; however, it is less private on busy weekends.
Why 2-3 hours visit duration is ideal for couple trip: This allows time for a swim session, a coffee break, and a casual volleyball or BBQ stop without rushing.
Lap Swim in 50m Pool:
Swim laps together in eight marked lanes with ramp and hoist access.
Tip: Arrive early to secure a shared lane before crowds build.
Beach Volleyball:
Play a casual game on adjacent sand courts.
Tip: Bring your own ball or borrow one at reception; courts are first-come, first-served.
Aqua Aerobics Class:
Join a low-impact water fitness session in warmer water.
Tip: Book your spot online or at the pool desk to avoid waitlists.
BBQ Picnic on Lawn:
Cook on free barbecue stations and relax on shaded grass.
Tip: Pack portable snacks and drinks; pick a table near the volleyball courts.
Café Break:
Grab coffee and light snacks at Shark Bite Café.
Tip: Try the iced coffee after your swim; seating fills fast at noon.

Clean, lush, and well-kept. Enough space for dozens of families, the facilities are modern and maintained well. Good for picnic and family events Multiple pools for all age ranges. Would love to have sliders for the children pool though but compensated with water play area Clean changing rooms and toilets too. And sell enough icy pops for everyone
Denis
Great, and I'd like to see a sauna here too)

Employ more staff and train them!! Great pool but management has to employ more front staff. It shouldn’t take 10 minutes to get an ice cream or drink, and the same overwhelmed staff manage the food and entry. On busy days this is terribly handled - only one young staff trying to make coffee, sell food, and admit people. Just train and put more staff on on busy days -

Great service, clean amenities and a good variety of pools for children. Gorgeous atmosphere and scenery, fluffy grass and picnic tables and BBQs around too. Not a big variety of food options though (chips, pies, sausage rolls only hot food options), but the coffee is okay and the service is really good all around.
Debra Giuliano
Great shade, clean facilities BBQs, showers and loos) not over-chlorinated water, fun water park, good coffee, friendly staff, plenty of sun safe pool areas for everyone. The only downside is there are no healthy options at the canteen.
October–March: outdoor pools open; pack sun protection and swim early. April–September: main pool quieter but cooler; try Aqua Aerobics in the heated learners' pool or warm up at the café afterwards.
