Sliding and splashing, the kids will love the supervised large swimming pool with small hydro slide and the family can also enjoy two Rachel Spring alkaline mineral hot pools.
Thanks for sharing your experience. Glad to hear you enjoyed relaxing in the pools and that everything felt easygoing. We’d love to welcome you back for another great day trip.
Family pools were wonderful and the kids enjoyed the wee slide. We went early morning which was the best time to have fun without too much chaos noise - as the morning went on more and more families came. Shower area was great to wash off before getting changed and thought it was a great touch to have hair and body wash available.
Thanks for sharing your experience. It sounds like an ideal time to enjoy the family pools peacefully, and it’s good to hear the little ones loved the slide. We’ve put effort into making the facilities comfortable, so your feedback on the showers is appreciated. Looking forward to welcoming you and your family back soon!
As good as always, relax with kids and enjoy the nature gift. Highly recommended to all family.
Thanks for your lovely message. It's great to hear you continue to enjoy quality time here with the family.
Awesome family pools, great value
Thanks for the great feedback. Glad to hear you enjoyed the Family Pools and found good value in the experience. Always nice when it ticks both boxes!
I was really looking forward to a relaxing soak at Polynesian Spa, but it was far too overcrowded. There were so many people in the pools that you could barely move without bumping into someone — not exactly the peaceful experience I was expecting. It would make a big difference if they limited the number of people per time slot to allow everyone space to unwind and enjoy the facilities. Beautiful setting, but the crowding took away from the whole experience.
Thanks again for your feedback, Amanda. We’re sorry to hear the Family Pools felt crowded during your visit. Under current PoolSafe regulations, lifeguards must be on duty, and we set a cap of 50 guests per time slot to maintain a safe and enjoyable environment. That said, popular weekends and holidays can still feel quite busy. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention, and will continue reviewing how we manage guest flow to help everyone relax and unwind comfortably.
