School holidays invite little moments, where time softens, curiosity leads the way, and a sense of play can be shared more freely.
At Peninsula Hot Springs, our Family Trail has been thoughtfully designed to guide you and your little ones through a day of gentle discovery, connection and creativity.
Whether you follow the trail step by step or wander at your own pace, each experience offers something unique. From warm shallow waters to nature-based exploration, and all the mindful moments shared in between, you'll find something different in every corner of our family-friendly Bath House.
begin the family zone
Start your journey in our dedicated Family Zone, a thoughtfully designed space for little ones. Here, you'll find shallow family pools, baby baths, barrel baths, and a bubble spa couch, perfect for easing into the experience together. While still including natural hot springs, the baths are slightly cooler, making our Family Zone a place to settle in, adjust to the warmth, and let little ones of all ages explore safely and comfortably.
wander barefoot along the reflexology walk
After spending some time in our Family Zone, take a slow, mindful stroll along the Reflexology Walk. This sensory path invites you to move barefoot across a variety of carefully chosen stones, each one designed to softly awaken the soles of your feet. As you walk, you may notice subtle shifts in pressure and sensation, encouraging you to slow your pace, deepen your breath and become more present with each step.
For children, this immersive experience becomes a playful adventure in discovery, testing different stones, feeling the contrast between smooth and textured surfaces, and giggling as the ground changes beneath their feet. For adults, it offers a simple yet powerful way to ground the body and calm the mind, inviting a quiet moment to reconnect with nature and your own sense of balance.
discover hidden spaces
As you continue, our natural landscape opens into a series of experiences to spark curiosity and imagination. Just across from the Reflexology Walk, discover our Cave Pool, a tucked-away, magical place where families can relax together, with shallow edges that are perfect for little ones. From there, wander beside the water, spotting ducks, listening for frogs, and taking in the sights and sounds of nature, before coming to our Spiral Galaxies Watsu Pool. A favourite for all ages, this gently swirling aquatherapy pool features bubbling jets that create a sense of playful movement.
pause, play and reconnect
Between bathing experiences, enjoy dedicated spaces to pause and reset as a family. These gentle breaks are just as important as the pools, offering time to rehydrate, snack, reflect on the day's adventures and decide where curiosity will lead you next.
Refuel with a nourishing bite in our Amphitheatre Cafe. Here, you can choose from a selection of nourishing dishes and light refreshments, including house-made pizzas, wraps and daily baked treats. For a more immersive nature experience, you may like to collect a picnic basket and wander down to our Food Bowl, an outdoor space where the connection between garden, kitchen and table is on full display. Spread out on the grass, share your picnic and let children enjoy the open space, complete with outdoor lawn games that invite play and collaboration.
If an indoor space is needed, especially on cooler or rainy days, visit our Pink Fairies Glasshouse or Sound Dome, both cosy retreats meant for relaxing and recharging. Sheltered from the elements, these spaces offer a calm indoor haven where little ones can settle, warm up, and find a sense of ease away from busier areas.
a day to share little moments together
As the trail unfolds, discover more bathing experiences that invite you to linger just that little bit longer. While bathing in our Hydrojet Pool, little ones can enjoy bubbling massage jets in a shallow, open setting. As you move through the Southern Terrace, explore a mix of indoor and outdoor foot baths, hand baths, and refreshing cool water, offering a gentle contrast to the warmth felt throughout the day.
The beauty of the Family Trail lies in its flexibility. You might choose to follow each stop in order as we have set out, or simply let the day unfold naturally, settling in where it feels right, skipping ahead, or returning to a favourite spot. With spaces throughout our Bath House designed for both play and pause, Revitalise Bath House bathing is an experience that allows everyone in the family to find their own pace, while allowing time to come back together in moments of warmth and connection.
