We take the hygiene of our pools very seriously. Each night when we close, our pools are completely drained and thoroughly cleaned by our experienced pool team, ready to be refilled each morning with fresh natural geothermal mineral water from an underground reservoir 637 metres below the surface. As the water reaches the pools, the water is at a temperature of 45 degrees Celsius. Throughout the day, fresh thermal mineral water flows constantly into the pools to maintain warmth and cleanliness.
Just as we have a team caring for you, we also have a dedicated pool team caring for our water. Our team is constantly monitoring the water to keep a record of its condition. You may see Pool Attendants taking readings of each pool during your visit. In an extra effort to keep the water clean, there is a minimal amount of chlorine added, which is also regularly tested by our team of experts.

Dear Awaken Community ,
It is with extreme disappointment that we need to announce that the Awaken Festival has been postponed until later this year.
The festival’s entire core production team is based in the Northern Rivers NSW region, which has been hit very hard this week with extreme flooding and we are now facing power outages, loss of internet and phone reception, massive damage to property and more. This natural disaster has severely impacted our team and we are now needing to focus on the massive task of clean up and repair.
This has been a huge unseen blow to all of us. After finally getting through the chaos of Covid we were so ready to unite the community with an incredibly positive experience at Awaken.
We have such deep gratitude to you all for enduring this challenging journey with us and we apologise for any inconvenience. For all current ticket holders, please bear with us while we deal with limited connectivity – we will be in touch asap regarding ticket refunds.
We are fully committed to holding the festival later in the year and we sincerely hope you can join us. We would love to keep in touch with you so please join our EMAIL LIST so we can keep you updated.
We are confident that when we do finally launch Awaken it will be a truly powerful event.
The Awaken Production Team
