Our signature AquaTheapy pools are designed for one thing… pure muscle relief.

AquaTherapy was designed in Europe. It’s attributed with increasing flexibility and strengthening muscles, improving balance and agility, decreasing joint swelling and pain and helping with a number of medical conditions.
It’s no wonder our AquaTherapy pools are extremely popular.
You’ll see a look of complete serenity on people’s faces as they dip underneath a cascading waterfall, cosy up to powerful water and air jets or sit and soak in the soothing waters feeling muscle tension melt away.
Each of our three pools uses different fundamentals of AquaTherapy. One features tumbling waterfalls and water spouts, the second has a series of massaging water jets, and the third has powerful water and air jets.
Water flows between the pools creating a relaxing, bubbling sound that adds to the sense of escape, allowing you to transition through each element of AquaTherapy.
Seriously, put this on your ‘must do’ list.

You’ll love the silky feel of the mineral rich water, which is infused with sodium, chloride, boron, calcium and carbonate.
Internationally these waters are used to treat rheumatic conditions, paraplegia and can help heal bone fractures and soft tissue.
The water is completely natural. It comes straight from the nearby thermal bore (with no chlorine added) making these our hottest pools - ranging in temperature from 40 to 42 degrees Celsius. The heat means they're not recommended for pregnant women or babies and toddlers.
You’ll need to stay hydrated here. Help yourself to a cool and refreshing shower after you've been in these pools - you'll find one beside the water fountain.
And don’t forget to remove any silver jewellery before getting in as the natural minerals may tarnish it.

Our beautiful network of rock pools winds its way through gorgeous gardens, and underneath rustic wooden bridges. With large sheltered pools with plenty of space to stretch out and relax.

The rock pools are connected by gentle rapids and waterways, with native plants and flowers woven into the rock formations along the edges.
The bubbling rapids beckon children who'll quietly clamber over the rocks to find tucked away pools and calming waters while Mum and Dad relax and watch nearby.
Couples after a quiet, secluded soak will have no trouble finding their own little oasis with a range of nooks and spots tucked away.
Lie back and relax while you enjoy the birdsong from the surrounding native gardens.
