Six-lane 33.3m lap pool, heated learner pool, outdoor spa, sauna, steam room, and gym. Water wheelchair and pool hoist available. Reviews are divided - some praise the facilities, others report closures, cold water, and steam room faults.
๐ Family Action Verdict
Works for families using the learner pool, spa, or sauna, and accessibility features make it one of the more inclusive North Shore options. Feedback is genuinely divided, so check opening hours before travelling and expect variable water temperature and a steam room that reviewers say underperforms.

โAs a 1st timer I was surprised and happy with my visit. The showers were warm and hot , the temperature of both the sauna and steam were just right that I can stay longer compared to other venues and the outdoor spa is fine with bubbles. I will definitely visit this pool again :-)โ
