Amazing place to spend a warm, sunny day. The entire is very spacious and clean. Decent showers and change rooms for everyone as well (male, female, unisex, family) There's a small patch of sand for a beach-y, free swim. They also have a lap area with 4-5 lanes. There were some jellyfish around in the lap area, so just be careful. The ladders and planks can be slippery too but nothing too dangerous.

Very unique spot, tucked away and surrounded by a gorgeous lush garden. There is plenty of room in shade and sun. Nice cool water very cool to go to a pool where people can bomb & jump in seems rare these days! The floor is super super hot around the decking I’d bring sandals next time… locals seemed unbothered by how how burning hot the ground was 😆 also jellyfish & stingrays

What a gem of a place, brilliant for a summer swim. Fun for kids and adults, there is a sandbar during lowtide and proper lanes for serious swimmers. Or you can just come for some sun. Not too deep but there is plenty of seaweed on the ground, which can put some kids off. Nice service and very affordable.

This was on my bucket list, and I was not disappointed. The historic Dawn Fraser Baths. It is technically a river baths, which has been enclosed. The facility, after its recent upgrade, looks amazing. The staff were very friendly. Loved having the place to myself. Well worth a visit.

Nice pools. Lots of space to lay down and relax. A lot of space in the water. Offer hot chips and soft drink at the kiosk. They have eftpos facilities, showers, change rooms and a sandy portion for kids and families. There is sealife in the water like sting rays fish and jellyfish
