Hot spa and pool complex
The pool complex was built in 1976 and the hot spa added in 1996. The mineral richwater flows from nearly a mile underground. This original bore at Boomi was opened in 1903 which must have been a remarkable engineering achievement at the time.
The swimming pool complex consists of a cold 25m pool, a children’s wading pool and  a  hot pool which has two overhead jets.
Artesian water comes from deep underground and is rich in minerals, the water can be up to 2 million years old. It has long been known in many cultures that the water has healing and restorative powers.
