Pools great; music far too loud
The Mount Hot Pools are awesome; always an enjoyable experience. All amenities are well maintained and staff are friendly, helpful, and welcoming. However, in such peaceful surroundings, the music played over loudspeakers at the pools are far too loud and not conducive to relaxation at all. One goes to the hot pools for both mental and physical wellbeing. But, the blaring, tinny music completely destroys the ambience, creates physical and psychological stress, and ultimately is a health and safety hazard. Not keen to go again if this unpalatable noise continues.
