Rye is the place for swimmers. In summer you have the beaches and for the rest of the year you have the warm waters of
Peninsula Hot Springs.

For $85 during the holidays, you can take the family for a relaxing soak. A cafe provides tasty snacks, yummy coffee and a friendly smile. For a small fee you can purchase a robe and locker. You can stay all day if you wish and finish up with a shower. Soap and hair dryers are always in supply for free.
For those who want to get away from the kids for a while, further up the track is an "over 16's" area only and like Goldilocks you can pick the pool that is "just right!". Peninsula Springs is open day and night and can provide personalised spa packages.

It is even fun to swim in the rain. So go on and relax, I insist and don't forget your thongs, towel and bather bottoms like I did.
