During NSW and Queensland school holidays, long weekends and special events, access to the pools and resort facilities is managed with wristbands. Overnight guests wear our white branded wristbands; day visitors wear the daily visitor bands. Children can wear theirs on an arm or a leg, and adults can wear theirs or keep them with them. If a band breaks, bring it to reception and we'll exchange it for a new one.

Children 12 and under must be accompanied by a responsible adult in the pool area. A responsible adult may also supervise their use of the kayaks, canoes and karts. Every accommodation party must include at least one adult aged 18 or over.
