relaxation time for parents
The water-based activities will surely be a highlight for the children. They can choose various swimming spots – the clear rock pools, the river, the dam and the four pristine swimming pools. Best of all, parents can sit back and enjoy some downtime around the pool while keeping an eye of their children.
Always-on-the go parents who are looking to relax and re-energise can indulge in reflexology treatments and get a much-needed break from cooking by dining at the reserve’s historic Homestead or enjoying flame-grilled fare outdoors while star gazing.
