These stunning Geelong pools have been rated as some of the best in the country.

The perfect place to take a dip but also to gain some ideas and inspiration for your own backyard and maybe even a little pool envy.

These pools made the ultimate list of Australia’s 100 Cool Pools, that ranked every pool in the country.

As demand for new pools and demand for homes with pools hits new heights on the back of the COVID-era shift to staycations and the transformation of our homes into resort-style havens, these properties are right on trend.

A super cool pool.

Endless Sea, Curlewis

It’s hard to tell where this Bellarine Peninsula pad’s infinity pool ends and the ocean begins.

The feature juts out from the architecturally designed home’s north west-facing deck to offer uninterrupted 180-degree views of Corio Bay, the You Yangs, and the Geelong and Melbourne city skylines. The property, created by Hamilton Marino Builders, held the City of Greater Geelong’s record price after former Hugo Boss managing director Aaron Kanat sold it for $5.6m in 2017. Its 2ha landholding also boasted a tennis court and lush coastal gardens.”

More a work of art than a pool.

Great Ocean Road Pool, Big Hill

Celebrity chef Shannon Bennett worked in concert with Woods Bagett to create this impressive eight-bedroom Great Ocean Road retreat at Big Hill, near Lorne. And the pool is next level. The jaw-dropping 25m indoor pool features a projection wall and an enviable sound system, ensuring it’s much more than a spot for a dip. A gym and adjoining sauna offer more outlets for relaxation, with a yoga deck outside in the native garden. But wait, there’s more — the Phillip Johnson Landscapes gardens includes a swimmable billabong outside.

Bennett and actor Madeleine West sold in 2018 for $4.025m, according to CoreLogic. But holiday-makers can get their own taste of luxury for $3622 a night.

The ultimate backyard pool.

Walking on Water, Lorne

Everything about this private Lorne compound screams resort living. The home — which was designed by Spaces Design Group and built by GD Constructions — set a Surf Coast record at $7.25m when it sold in January last year. And it’s easy to see how, with the two-storey house offering an incredible vista over Loutitt Bay and the rugged Great Ocean Road coastline. But also lower your eyes to the pool and the adjoining luxe pavilion boasting an outdoor kitchen, built-in seating, a gym, a shower and a changing room. Bi-fold glass doors open the pavilion to the pool, which is flanked by a deck and lawn hosting plenty of banana lounges.
