The property is a little dated, I will say--the pool area especially. I went out to the pool area several times and it was not cleaned, with several plates/dirty towels left out.

Google Places and Expedia confirm an outdoor pool with harbour views. TripAdvisor and Expedia confirm the pool is heated and rooftop. TripAdvisor confirms year-round access and that children are allowed. A web search result mentions it is the biggest outdoor pool among Sydney hotels, and Facebook mentioned a sauna, steam room, and Jacuzzi. The official site from other locations indicates complimentary pool access for spa guests, which suggests day pass availability for the hotel's pool.
