Dive, swim, soak, repeat

With as much to do as there is to look at, this multi-faceted backyard pool project includes a swim lane, child's pool beach, a diving board and two spas

What better way to introduce a child friendly

Created by Acacia Landscapes & Pool Construction

The owners wanted a pool for extended family and friends to use as they entertain at home regularly.

A large 25m pool with a dive platform, a swim lane and a shallow beach area for the children to play in were all part of the homeowners' brief.

In addition, they requested two in-ground spa pools to sit within the pool enclosure, one alongside the pool and the other close to the changing rooms.

The whole area was to dovetail into the design of the house and orchard – so the large rocks were a key part of the landscaping to blend in with the schist stone work on the house.

The surrounding landscaping and planting were also a key attribute – the entire project was completed by Acacia Landscapes & Pool Construction with original design by Mark Cashmore Design.

The pool and wider project has attracted a Gold award, Environmental category, from the New Zealand Swimming Pool Industry Association.
