Sleeping under our 80 metre long Ocean Tunnel is definitely one of the highlights! It is divided into 3 different areas – The Shark Shipwreck, Coral Cove, and Bay of rays. Watch our animals get active at night as the blue coloured night lights come on. Or see if you can spot our Tawny Nurse Sharks resting on the glass above you.

We arrange for all guests to be sleeping ‘head to tail’ in one long line, and we can divide the group into boys and girls areas if you wish. Adults will sleep either end of the tunnel, and one in the centre, for fire safety reasons.

Toilets are accessible via ramp access and are 2 levels up.

Our Lower Penguin and Billabong area is perfect for larger groups that won’t fit in the Ocean Tunnel.

Listen to the soothing sound of the waterfall as you fall asleep next to our Archer fish. Or watch the Little Blue Penguins swimming in the windows right next to your head! Our Penguins love to sleep throughout the night so they don’t keep you awake!

We arrange for all students to be sleeping ‘head to tail’ in rows, leaving a pathway through the centre of the room for walkway access. Adults will sleep either end of the corridor for evacuation and safety.
