How much is a Lake Argyle infinity pool day pass?
A day pass costs roughly $10 per adult.
Access to the lake itself is free, but using the resort pool requires this small fee for non-guests. Prices can change slightly, so bring a card to pay at the desk.
Where do I buy the pass?
Purchase your day pass at the Discovery Resorts reception.
When you arrive at 525 Lake Argyle Road, head straight to the main desk. The staff will give you a wristband. You must wear this wristband while swimming in the 35-metre pool.
When is the best time for photos?
Late afternoon golden hour provides the best lighting.
Many visitors expect the sun to set directly over the water. However, the sun actually sets behind the pool. The late afternoon light still hits the ranges beautifully, making it the ideal time for photography.
How long should I plan to stay?
Most visitors spend one to two hours at the pool.
This gives you enough time to swim, take photos, and relax. After swimming, you can visit the on-site General Store & Restaurant for a cold drink. Keep in mind that restaurant hours vary by season.
Can I combine the pool with a lake cruise?
Yes, you can swim in the pool before or after exploring the water.
Cruises depart nearby and range from two hours to full-day trips. Sunset cruises often include a mid-lake swim in the fresh water alongside complimentary drinks. Cruises cost between $90 and $225.
What should I pack for the pool?
Bring a swimsuit, microfibre towel, and reef-safe sunscreen.
You should also pack a wide-brimmed hat and polarised sunglasses. If you are visiting in the dry season (May to September), bring a light jacket. Evenings can get chilly once the sun goes down.
