    Loved this place.

    Whilst walking in the botanical gardens, which are gorgeous, a lady recommended this pool. Thank you! Pool was lovely. Kids loved it so much our last two mornings in Sydney were spent here. Lunch at the pool cafe was lovely too.

    Great cafe

    Worth a visit for the cafe alone and you don't have to get wet. Lovely views over to Wooloomooloo, and sombrero hats are provided if you opt for a seat in the sun.

    What a location for a swim and a bite to eat.

    This has to be a top location for a swim to cool one down during a hot Sydney day. It's location so close to the Botanical gardens and the gallery was a welcome respite from doing touristy things in Sydney. We stayed for lunch and...More

    Andrew Joy Charlton!

    Repeat visit to perhaps Sydney’s top swimming spot. Once again it could only but impress. Began with banana bread and a flat white overlooking the beautiful 50 metre salt water pool. Dried off in the shaded area to one side of the pool. Go visit!

    Beautiful salt water pool with a view!

    I swim here a few times a week during my lunch break. It's a really nice pool - salt water - and the view on a nice day is spectacular. Lots of swimmers (good and bad), sunbakers and lifeguards.

    Plenty. Street has many car spots - all metered requiring fees. Can be busy so depending on when you arrive, might need to be patient.
