Enjoy a magical evening under the stars, as you relax and delight in a unique cinema experience. Watch movies, family favourites, and sporting events on our massive outdoor movie screen. Lounge at the swim-up bar with a cold one, kick back in one of our poolside loungers, or enjoy the spectacle from the warmth of our thermally heated pools.
Movies begin around 5pm during winter. However if there is a special sporting event scheduled this will change to fit when the sport is broadcast. Spend some quality time with the kids as you play, swim, and explore the fun-filled features of our tropical lagoon style pool.
The entrance beneath the waterfall beckons, its unknown interior wrapped in mystery and demanding exploration. The pool is open for guests from 8am until 10pm for guests. Information for visitors If you would like to use the fabulous resort facilities but are not staying onsite, visitor passes can be purchased. This is dependant on availability. Visitors can come between 11am and 8pm. The pass is valid for one entry.
