COVID-19 Pandemic & This Website
The COVID-19 Pandemic has had a huge impact on local Gold Coast businesses, which rely heavily on visitors from Queensland, interstate and overseas.
During this time, it is hard to keep the website fully up to date with all the changes. In the meantime here are some resources for visitors. Our main booking partners for hotels and for tours, tickets, theme parks and activities are keeping everything up to date, so please use those resources in the meantime.
Travel Information for Queensland Visitors - Queensland Tourist Safety Information - regularly updated, official website.
COVID-19 FAQ's For Activities, Tours, Cruises & Theme Park Tickets - General Ticket & Pass FAQs and COVID-19 Travel Update.
Thank you for your understanding and patience at this really difficult time.
Outdoor Swimming In Resort Pools In September
Is it warm enough to swim in resort pools in September at the Gold Coast without heating?
This may be an unfair question of me, as I am so much a Gold Coaster these days!
It depends what you are used to swimming in and it also depends on the orientation of the pool.
If the pool is not shadowed by buildings especially in the afternoons, then the chances are it could be okay.
It might be a little cool for younger children, but again that depends. Compared to New Zealand or Melbourne, it will feel warm! Compared to India, Malaysia or Indonesia it may feel cold.
I am sorry I cannot be more specific, I personally would opt for a heated pool because you are more likely to go swimming in it.
Just recently I was at Artique Resort in Surfers Paradise and the pool there was a bit cool for me, but there were plenty of people swimming in it. That was April so probably similar to September.
Luckily I was able to retreat to the very warm and very large undercover spa!
