Resort style

Country properties invariably have the luxury of plenty of land and attractive outlooks, which makes it easier to plan a resort-style pool and outdoor living area.

The owners of this country property contracted Paremata Swimming Pool Builders, a Mayfair Pools agent, to build a large pool that would be well suited to entertaining family and friends.

Director Jeff Cochrane says there was enough space for a large, 12.5m-long pool with semicircular bays, as well as a pool house and extensive paved areas.

One of the bays accommodates the pool steps, while the opposite bay features an in-pool Water Castle fountain.

"The bays have white tiles, which were chosen to complement the Paremata Sand pool interior," says Cochrane. "The colour of the pool changes in different lights."

The pool also features a concealed foam cover, a Waterco pump and filtration, and a hot water heat pump.

Mayfair Pools specialises in custom-built fibreglass pools that can be made to any size and shape, to fit virtually any site. The company, which has been in business for more than 35 years, has a network of agents throughout the country.
