Deep Blue Hotel & Hot Springs

Clean, comfortable, spacious, lovely staff, great location, quiet

This was our 4th Time to the Deep Blue Hotel and Hot Springs... WE are never disappointed!!!! Staff were all very help full and friendly. We decided this time to pay extra for undercover parking and was so convenient, as never enough car spaces out the front of the hotel, cost was additional $10 per day We decided to eat Saturday night dinner at "Tides" the new Restaurant and were not disappointed with the food it was amazing; the dinner host was very polite and chatty about the new restaurant venture. WE stayed in Room 323 a spa suite which had an amazing seaside view, the bed was very comfortable, the room was very clean, water pressure and temperature was great in the shower and easy to adjust. The bath spa was very relaxing and had heaps of water jets We had the cheese & Fruit platter prior going to the Hot Springs, it was very delicious, worth getting as a prelude to the Hot springs. The Hot springs were surprisingly not that busy for a Saturday night, and although it was a cold Winters night, that hot spring water pools were amazingly warm and very relaxing. Overall, the Deep Blue Hotel did not disappoint again, we will be back

We stayed for two nights in a Superior King room. There was a side view of the hot pools and the ocean. The bed was very comfortable (on the soft side for me but still extremely comfortable!), and the room and bathroom were spacious. Breakfast options were plentiful (hot and cold buffet breakfast) and we also had room service while we were there, which we were impressed with in terms of food quality. All staff we encountered were friendly but especially the staff in the day spa when we had massages, and the hot pools. Both the massages and the hot pools experience were amazing, and if you're staying here, I would highly recommend doing both. I think it was Olivia who did my massage and she was fab! The hot pools were even better than I expected, and they looked amazing from just the photos. The location is fantastic for the beach, and for the beautiful walk up to Pickering Point (would recommend this for sunset) with echidnas and penguin sightings.

It was a last-minute booking for us, so we didn’t expect much and just wanted a place to stay. Overall, I didn’t have many complaints – we got our room, and it was clean and comfortable enough. However, it was a bit strange to find single beds in a twin-share room. For a room that costs $330 per night, you would expect at least queen beds, but not single one. We tried Water Sanctuary located in a hotel. Overall, it was a positive experience. It consists of 14 shallow bath tubs of different sizes, some of which are located in a man-made cave and feature waterfalls. The temperature of the water ranges between 37-41°C. There is also a cool plunge tub. The only negative aspect was that it was too crowded, and sometimes when you approached a tub, there were already 5-10 other people in it. If you just want to experience the effects of thermal water, you can visit a single tub located in the spa center. It will cost you twice as much less than going to Water Sanctuary, which has its 14 tubs, considering that the water is the same.

Best thing was of course, the hot springs. We stayed on the top floor and had nice cozy spacious rooms with a nice view. The kitchen was a complete kitchen and we had a choice of cooking our own food, which we didn't do though. But it was nice to have one.
