Six 5000L plunge pools for a series of luxe overwater villas have been craned into a new swimmable lake at one of Queensland’s most popular resorts — and 12,000 people are already on the wait list to test them out.

Sandstone Point Holiday Resort has announced its six overwater villas will have their very own heated plunge pool partially submerged in the lake, as well as an internal fireplace.

Due for completion later this year, Sandstone Point Holiday Resort will team the luxe villas with an all-natural chemical-free lake on-site.

Professionally designed for swimmers and biodiversity, the lake will incorporate pumps and injectors to ensure high oxygen levels and a constant water flow, to allow for live fish and plant-life to thrive.

Currently under construction are six three-bedroom villas which will overhang the lake.

The overwater villas feature two bathrooms, an open plan kitchen, dining and living area with a fireplace.

The living space will open out to a deck and outdoor dining area with its very own heated plunge pool and BBQ, overlooking lake-views.

A ladder hangs from the deck, offering direct access to the natural swimming hole.

Comiskey Group director David Comiskey said if you’re lucky enough to secure a booking at one of the villas, you’ll be able to sip cocktails in your very own private plunge pool in just a few months’ time.

“The lake itself is a massive project but it’s really exciting seeing it all come together,” Mr Comiskey said.

“There’s been plenty of action onsite this week.

“We hired a crane to start installing the plunge pools, three have gone in this week with the remaining pools going in next week.

Sandstone Point Holiday Resort overwater villas will feature plunge pools.

“The pools are 5.2 tonne, precast and fully tiled.

“They’ve also got a seat inside as well as jacuzzi jets, so as you can probably guess, that’s where you’ll find me most holidays.”

Director Rob Comiskey believes the lake project will be a major drawcard for future guests and expects the new overwater villas to be in high demand all year around, with the waitlist getting longer by the day.

“We have had over 12,000 people sign up to the waitlist to be the first to know when they can book to stay in these new villas,” Mr Comiskey said.

“This was before we even announced any of their exciting features.

“It seems people are just as excited as I am.

“It’s a really special project, something you’d expect in the Maldives, not 45 minutes outside of Brisbane CBD.”

Whilst the lake will be open to all guests, those staying in the overwater villas will have certain times of the day in which they will be able to enjoy exclusive use of the lake.

The overwater villas, plunge pools and lake will add to the resort’s existing three heated swimming pools and swim up bar.
