Hired the marquee for my 30th in July 2025, the team went out of their way to make the event special and run smoothly. The venue itself is beautiful and great value for money. The perfect space for a special occasion.

πŸ† Family Action Verdict

Best for families with children aged 6 and up who can swim confidently and want a full-day water adventure. Staff are praised for patience with nervous children and those with physical limitations.

β€œIt was really nice, the entry security, the girl at the bar who gave us the tickets were really lovely. However, the staff who were sitting on those blow up things…I understand that it’s tiring and cold sometimes but they wouldn’t even talk or smile. We had a good time with the kids, nice little beach area for adults and kids to play once they have finished. We had our little picnic on the benches…maybe slowly they can add more things to it and make it bigger, more option for kids and adults. Thank you πŸ™πŸ½β€
