What makes it 88% Kids-Friendly: Kids up to 12 can burn energy in the splash park, slides, learners pool and sand courts, while parents use family change rooms and BBQs; vigilant supervision is still required in deep areas.
Why 2-3 hours visit duration is ideal for with kids: Allows time for kids to enjoy the splash park, warm learners’ pool, and a relaxed BBQ or café break without rushing.
Splash Park and Slides:
Interactive water sprays, small slides and geysers entertain children up to 12 years.
Tip: Bring swim nappies for tots under 4 and a change of clothes.
Toddler & Heated Learners’ Pools:
Shallow toddler pool for ages up to 5 and a 30 °C learners’ pool for skill building.
Tip: Pack goggles and floaties so older kids can practice strokes.
Beach Volleyball Courts:
Sand courts next to the pool let older kids learn bump and serve.
Tip: Grab a ball from reception and set up a quick family game.
BBQ Picnic & Onsite Café:
Free covered barbecue stations and Shark Bite Café for snacks and drinks.
Tip: Reserve a BBQ spot early or bring picnic gear to grill your own food.
GOswim Lessons for Kids:
Small-group swim and water-safety classes for ages 6 months–15 years.
Tip: Book lessons online in advance to secure a spot for each child.

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.
Splash Park and Toddler Pool operate October–March; in cooler months stick to the heated learners’ pool set at 30 °C.
