Australia’s largest BIG4 resort pool

The Oasis is more than just a pool- it’s a destination in itself. As the largest resort pool in the BIG4 network, The Oasis has been designed to impress guests of all ages. Featuring a thrilling waterslide, a relaxing waterfall and a walk-in beach-style entry, the pool flows seamlessly into a serene lazy lagoon, creating a true tropical resort atmosphere. Guests can unwind in the year-round heated spa, perfect for relaxing tired muscles after a big day of adventures, while adults can enjoy something truly unique- a swim-up bar, where you can sip refreshing cocktails without ever leaving the water. Whether you’re floating, swimming, socialising, or simply soaking up the sunshine, The Oasis is the vibrant heart of the park and a favourite gathering place for families and friends.

Pirate-themed adventures at Salty’s Cove Waterpark

For younger guests and thrill-seeking kids, Salty’s Cove Waterpark delivers swashbuckling fun with its pirate-themed design and exciting water features. With four waterslides to choose from, there’s something for all ages, from little adventurers to big kids at heart. The giant tipping bucket is a highlight, guaranteeing squeals of laughter as it drenches everyone below. Salty’s Cove is the perfect place for energetic play, making it easy for kids to burn energy while creating holiday memories they’ll talk about long after they return home.

Movie nights at the outdoor cinema

Saltwater Yamba takes movie nights to the next level with The Oasis Outdoor Cinema. Whether you’re floating in the pool, relaxing on bean bags or stretching out on comfortable deck chairs, you can enjoy your favourite films in a truly unique outdoor setting. It’s a magical way to end the day, combining entertainment with warm evenings and that relaxed holiday feeling you can’t replicate at home.

Active fun for the whole family

For families who love to stay active, Saltwater Yamba offers a wide range of land-based activities designed for all ages. The pump track is a standout, encouraging kids and adults alike to bring their push bikes and enjoy hours of fun navigating twists and turns while building confidence and riding skills. Go-Karts are another favourite. Whether you’re racing friends or cruising around the park, it’s a fun way to explore and stay active. The outdoor playground also offers endless entertainment, with swings, climbing nets, monkey bars, slides, table tennis, a small climbing wall and a mini flying fox.

River adventures & lagoon relaxation

Set on the stunning Clarence River, Saltwater Yamba is perfectly positioned for water-based adventures. Guests can hire kayaks and stand-up paddleboards directly from the park, making it easy to explore the calm river waters and soak up the region’s natural beauty. For anglers and boating enthusiasts, the riverfront and on-site boat ramp make fishing and boating simple and convenient. The Clarence is well known for flathead, and guests can fish directly from the ramp or launch their own boat for a day on the water. Back in the park, guests can also enjoy the lagoon pool- a quieter, tropical-style pool ideal for adults looking to relax and cool off. With sun beds and peaceful surroundings, it’s the perfect place to slow down and unwind.

Classic holiday fun  and easy living

Saltwater Yamba offers the classic holiday experiences families love. The giant jumping pillow is a must for kids (and kids at heart), while the bocce pit provides a relaxed social option for adults. During school holidays, the popular Kids Club keeps young guests entertained with activities like laser skirmish, craft sessions and outdoor games, ensuring kids stay active and engaged. Two fully equipped camp kitchens make meals easy, with BBQs, a pizza oven and communal spaces ideal for group gatherings. One of the park’s most loved features is the ability to enjoy campfires on site- a rare treat that brings families together for marshmallow toasting and cosy evenings under the stars.
