Waikanae Pool
Waikanae is 33.5-metre outdoor heated pool, which also has a smaller toddlers' pool and a hydroslide. Enough fun to keep the kids happy for hours.
We're all learning to live in a world where COVID-19 is the norm. Remember, if you're unwell, take a test and please don’t visit our facilities. Exercise good hygiene, and while there's no longer a requirement to wear masks when you visit our facilities, if you feel more comfortable wearing a mask we encourage you to do so.

Summer season opening hours:
- Monday and Thursday: 6am–6pm (8pm during school holidays)
