Golf
The Resort's world class golfing facilities include two exquisitely crafted and challenging championship golf courses, catering to both low and high handicappers. For the social golfer there is the classic Thomson-Wolveridge course which is exacting but forgiving with wide fairways that cut through beautiful native bushland. The second course created in 1992 by internationally renowned designer Karl Litten, will test the skills of the most seasoned professional presenting a real challenge with tight fairways and plenty of scenic walks for the wayward shot.

Children
The hotel provides baby sitting and child minding services. The Kids Kapers Child Care Centre is free for kids 2-12 years and operates from 8am to 5pm.
