We want to hear from you

We'd love to hear your feedback!

Very happy. Large outdoor heated pool and you can easily check lane availability. Interesting play area for kids. Two good indoor pools rather than one. Great kids slide. A large spa and hot pool section.

The open approach to using the facilities is a breath of fresh air. There's a sense of freedom & inclusivity that extends throughout the environment. Whether you're a seasoned swimmer, a casual lounger, or a family with kids, there's something for everyone.

I do have to tip my hat to the team at Darebin. The pool is a fantastic facility and we are lucky as residents to have access to it. It’s wonderful to have an integrated facility with workout studios, saunas, steam room, a cafe and even a physio on site.

The gym is huge with enough luscious space to create a comfortable environment with enough machines routines and workouts for everybody. The staff are really friendly and something I've noticed is it always smells nice.
