Are the pools heated?2023-08-23T06:06:46+00:00

We’re committed to ensuring our pools offer a comfortably warm experience. In collaboration with Commercial Aquatics, The Lagoon pool has been designed with heating capabilities. However, for the summer 2023-24 season, we face power constraints that limit our heating capacity. We’re awaiting approval for our Western Power application, submitted in 2022, and actively considering a solar alternative.

Additionally, we’ve arranged for a heater for the Octopus Bay toddler pool ahead of the summer 2023-24 season. Installation is underway, and we’ll aim to activate it promptly, bearing in mind the aforementioned power limitations.

How deep is The Lagoon pool?2023-10-20T03:30:41+00:00

The Lagoon pool is thoughtfully designed to cater to swimmers of all abilities, including a beach entry area, perfect for children, which gradually deepens to 900mm. The main body of the pool, excellent for swimming or just relaxing, ranges from 1.2-1.3m, making it an ideal depth for avid Marco Polo players and also for those who might not be strong swimmers.

Note, to access the deeper section of the pool, Guests must pass through a traditional pool gate. This gate is in place as an added safety measure, Guests are expected to follow Watch Around Water rules and should not access this deeper area without the supervision of a parent or guardian.

Why can’t I use Afterpay anymore?2023-08-23T06:53:04+00:00

Ahead of the summer 2023-24 season we’ve revamped our online store to enhance user experience. Our focus was to simplify ticket bookings, make it straightforward to reserve exciting extras like cabanas, huts, and quality experiences, and to streamline the booking process for birthday parties and group events. Unfortunately, due to these updates, Afterpay and American Express are no longer compatible payment options. We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding.

Why did you remove the toddler slide from Splash Island?2023-09-04T06:54:16+00:00

The safety of our Guests is more than just a statement for us; it’s a commitment we actively uphold each season. The toddler slide, beloved by our younger guests since 2013, was designed with their enjoyment in mind. When the slide was first introduced, the manufacturer made it clear that due to the short run-out length, it wasn’t intended for adults. We understand that parents, wanting to share in their child’s joy, would sometimes use the slide. To address this, following consultation with the manufacturer we implemented a height restriction and, despite our Team’s vigilant efforts, found it challenging to enforce this rule consistently. To ensure the safety of all our visitors and to reduce risk, we made the difficult decision to remove the slide.
