Pool day passes in Perth are harder to find than in most comparable Australian cities. The majority of hotels restrict pool access to overnight guests only, and the few exceptions are spread across the city and beyond.
The three options here give genuine non-guest access: Crown Metropol's multi-pool complex in Burswood, a CBD day stay at the Novotel on Murray Street, and a full resort day at Pullman Bunker Bay near the Margaret River wine region. Prices run from AUD 69 with lunch included to AUD 250 for a spa-and-pool package. Perth's summers regularly push past 40°C, which makes pool access genuinely useful rather than a novelty.
All three options require advance booking. None accept walk-ins. Crown Metropol's pool pass is tied to a restaurant lunch reservation, Novotel's is a full day stay package, and Pullman Bunker Bay requires at least 24 hours' notice and is prepaid. Book early in peak summer months.
Quick picks:
- Crown Metropol Perth (AUD 69 / about $45). Best-value lunch-and-pool bundle with waterslides; seasonal promotion only.
- Novotel Perth Murray Street (from AUD 145 / about $95). City-centre day stay with heated outdoor pool, sauna, and steam room.
- Pullman Bunker Bay Resort (AUD 250 / about $165). Full resort day with two spa treatments and lunch included.

How much does a pool day pass in Perth cost?
Perth's three non-guest pool access options range from AUD 69 to AUD 250. None are standalone pool-only passes; each bundles something extra.
| Hotel | Price | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Crown Metropol Perth | AUD 69 (about $45) | Best value; lunch included |
| Novotel Perth Murray Street | from AUD 145 (about $95) | City-centre access |
| Pullman Bunker Bay Resort | AUD 250 (about $165) | Full resort day with spa |
The Crown Metropol deal is good value when the promotion is running: AUD 69 buys a restaurant lunch and pool access combined. The Pullman Bunker Bay pass at AUD 250 is genuinely all-inclusive; the two spa treatments alone would cost more booked separately.
Can non-guests use hotel pools in Perth?
Most can't. Crown Towers Perth reserves its pools for hotel guests only. Pan Pacific Perth is guest-access only, with its pool currently under refurbishment through mid-2026. Rendezvous Hotel Scarborough has its lagoon pool closed.
The Ritz-Carlton Perth's infinity pool is restricted to guests; the hotel spa offers vitality pools alongside treatments, but non-guest pool-only access isn't offered.
Perth has fewer non-guest pool options than cities like Dubai or Miami, where most major hotels actively market day passes. The three properties listed here are the confirmed exceptions.
Where to stay in Perth
Perth CBD is the most practical base: central, well-connected by train, and close to Northbridge's restaurants and bars. The Westin Perth is a reliable five-star in the city centre. The Alex Hotel in Northbridge is a boutique option if you prefer a neighbourhood feel and good breakfast spots within walking distance.
Fremantle, 30 minutes south by train, is a livelier alternative: a historic port city with great food markets, craft beer venues, and South Beach nearby. If you're planning the Pullman Bunker Bay day pass (in the Margaret River area, about 90 minutes south), staying in Fremantle cuts the drive noticeably.
Crown Metropol Perth
Three pools occupy the upper levels of the Crown Metropol at Burswood: a large main pool, a quieter relaxation pool, and a family area with waterslides. Waterslides operate on weekends and throughout school holidays.
The Signature Lunch Pool Pass is how non-guests access the pools. Book a Signature Lunch (AUD 69 per person) at one of four participating Crown restaurants (Modo Mio, Silks, Nobu, or Bistro Guillaume) and a pool pass for one adult is included with the booking.
Children aged 1–12 pay AUD 25 at the pool; under 12 months are free. Advance booking is essential and walk-ins aren't accepted at the pool gate.
This is a seasonal promotion, not a permanent offering. It typically runs from around October through to May, with pool access redeemable Monday to Thursday only during specific redemption windows. Call ahead to confirm the deal is currently active before booking the lunch.

Level 12 of the Novotel Perth Murray Street holds Perth's most accessible city-centre pool: a heated outdoor pool alongside a sauna, steam rooms, gym, and Keishi Spa. It sits above the heart of the CBD on Murray Street, a short walk from the main train stations.
The Day Stay package gives you a room from 10am to 4pm plus full access to all level 12 facilities. Rates start from around AUD 145 and vary by date; book via the hotel website for the direct rate.
It's not a standalone pool pass, but the room gives you somewhere to change, shower, and store your things. That makes it more practical for a full afternoon than a pool-only access pass would be.
Book direct: novotelperthmurraystreet.com.au or call +61 (08) 6371 6371.
Pullman Bunker Bay Resort
The heated infinity pool at Pullman Bunker Bay Resort looks out over a curved bay near Dunsborough, roughly three hours south of Perth on the south-west coast. It's a genuine beach resort setting rather than a city hotel, and worth planning a full day trip around.
The Day at Bunker Bay pass is AUD 250 per person and includes two 30-minute spa treatments (choose from aromatherapy bath, scalp treatment, foot treatment, or back massage), a two-course lunch at The Other Side of the Moon restaurant, and full use of the pool, tennis courts, and gym. Beverages at lunch are charged separately; a 10% discount on spa retail products is included.
Advance booking of at least 24 hours is required. The pass is prepaid and non-refundable, and doesn't apply on public holidays or long weekends.
Book direct: email H8775@accor.com or call +61 (0)8 9756 9100.
How to book a pool day pass in Perth
All three options book direct. Crown Metropol takes reservations through SevenRooms or by phone; walk-ins at the pool aren't accepted. Novotel Perth books via the Accor website or by calling the hotel directly.
Pullman Bunker Bay requires at least 24 hours' notice and accepts bookings by email or phone. For Crown Metropol, confirm the Signature Lunch Pool Pass promotion is currently active before booking the restaurant, since the deal runs in seasonal windows and dates shift year to year.
Best time for a pool day in Perth
Perth's outdoor pool season runs from October to April. January and February are the hottest months, with average highs around 31°C and regular days pushing past 38–40°C.
Winter runs June through August with average highs around 17–18°C. Outdoor pools are less appealing in those months, though the Novotel's heated pool stays comfortable year-round.
Crown Metropol's seasonal promotion also runs in the warmer half of the year, so timing aligns naturally with when you'd want to use it.
Frequently asked questions
Can you buy a pool day pass in Perth without booking a hotel room?
Yes, but options are limited. Crown Metropol Perth offers pool access bundled with a restaurant lunch booking (AUD 69 per person); no standalone pool-only pass is available. Pullman Bunker Bay offers a full-day package including spa and lunch at AUD 250 per person. Novotel Perth's day stay includes a hotel room for the day alongside pool access.
Is Crown Metropol Perth's pool pass available year-round?
No. The Signature Lunch Pool Pass is a seasonal promotion, typically running October through May. It's only available Monday to Thursday during specific redemption windows. Always call the hotel to confirm the deal is currently active before making your restaurant reservation.
How far is Pullman Bunker Bay Resort from Perth city centre?
It's roughly three hours south of Perth by car, near Dunsborough in the South West. It's best treated as a full day trip rather than a quick city pool visit. The Margaret River wine region is nearby, making it easy to combine both in one day.
More pool day passes near Perth
Perth's limited pool day pass market reflects the wider Western Australian picture; most resorts in the state cater primarily to overnight guests. Pullman Bunker Bay Resort (listed above) is the only full-service resort day pass within a reasonable drive, and it pairs well with a Margaret River wine region visit.
For a wider range of hotel pool day passes across the Asia-Pacific region, Koh Samui and Lombok both offer dozens of options across all budgets, with far more competition keeping prices and inclusions sharp.
