The Pool Deck

Riverside Pool & Private Cabanas

A heated 25-metre pool above the promenade, cabanas that seat four, and a sunset deck session the locals quietly book out first.

Cabanas from A$160 half-day · seats four
The Essentials

The pool that never closes early

05:30 for the lap crowd, 23:00 for the last nightcap swimmer. Heated to 29°C through winter and glass-edged toward the river.

Cabanas run as half-day bookings with their own service line — towels on the hour, the deck menu delivered, and a curtain you can actually close. In-house guests swim free; day access comes with spa or cabana bookings.
