The Great Artesian Spa
Mitchell’s Great Artesian Spa will provide a unique & relaxing outback experience. A swim in these thermal, mineralised artesian waters is considered to be relaxing for the body and remedial for the soul. The Spa contains two large pools filled with artesian water. One spa contains naturally heated water from the Great Artesian Basin which is kept at an ideal temperature designed to relax those tired muscles. The other is designed for those who would prefer a 'cooler' experience.
