For the purposes of social distancing, a “family unit” is classified as a groups of people who share the same residential address.

For the purposes of head count for the pool areas each individual of a family unit is counted.

  • Due to limited people in pool area, facilities are for resort guests only.
  • Maximum of 1 family unit using a lift at any time.
  • Enforcing no gatherings in resort rooms.
  • Social distancing markers throughout the resort to remind guest of 1.5m social distance regulations.
  • Guests seen to be breaching any social distancing regulations as set by the State or Federal Government, will be asked to leave the resort.

Staying at Rise was a fantastic experience. The room was clean, spacious, and well-equipped with everything needed to enjoy a short stay.  Having immediate access to one of the best beaches in Australia was incredible, and eating out at a nearby Indian restaurant made it a memorable stay. Would love to visit again!
