Cabana Season: How Perth Does Summer by the Water

Eighteen teak cabanas, one brass butler button each, and a lagoon that holds 26 degrees all year — the anatomy of the resort's easiest day.

Perth summers demand a strategy: shade, service and water, in that order. The lagoon deck's eighteen cabanas were designed as exactly that — private addresses on the deck with everything but the swimming done for you.

Inside the cabana

Each cabana holds a daybed, two armchairs, a ceiling fan, blackout curtains and a stocked fridge — close enough to step into the lagoon, enclosed enough for a midday nap. Four family cabanas sit beside the shallow shelf with a child-safe fence option.

The signature detail is the brass button: one press summons the pool butler, who rotates chilled towels, fruit plates and spritzes on your timing rather than a schedule.

Everything but the swimming is done for you.

Morning slot or afternoon?

Morning hire (7–12) suits swimmers — the lagoon is empty, the light is flat and the floating breakfast tray arrives in the water. Afternoon hire (12–17) is the social slot: spritzes, shade, and the deck filling up around you.

From 17:00 the champagne trolley starts its rounds and the day-hire crowd hands the deck to the sunset service. Full-day hire covers all of it; cabana bookings can be made by position — infinity-edge, garden or family side.

The upgrades worth making

Two additions turn a cabana day into the day people describe at dinner parties: the floating breakfast (A$95 for two, served on a teak tray in the water) and the in-cabana massage — 45-minute treatments delivered by Azure Spa therapists behind closed curtains.

Non-hotel guests can hire cabanas too — the booking includes lagoon access, making it the resort's de facto day pass in summer.

Field notes

  • Infinity-edge cabanas sell first on weekends — book by number, early.
  • Morning hire is for swimmers; afternoon hire is for people-watchers.
  • The floating breakfast is A$95 for two — order it for the first hour.
  • Cabana hire includes lagoon access — it's the resort's summer day pass.
Good to know

Four cabanas sit beside the shallow shelf with pool toys and an optional child-safe fence.

Yes — hire includes lagoon access for the booking period, functioning as a day pass.

The lagoon holds 26°C year-round, and the adjacent spa pool runs 36°C in cooler months.
