Other Amenities
Whether you're looking for coffee, cocktails, or a la carte, Lasseters eight restaurants and bars will satisfy any craving. Splash is the poolside smoothie and coffee café perfect for after a tough workout or relaxing swim. Something a little stronger can be found at Tempo, the new wine and cocktail bar that also specializes in tapas.
Speaking of food, Tali offers its take on modern Australian fare (with a hint of the Outback) from 6am-11pm daily. A homage to Central Australia, inside you will find décor and artwork from and inspired by the region. For something a little more casual, we recommend the Juicy Rump steakhouse or the Sports Lounge, both of which feature giant TVs (including an 103-inch plasma at the Rump) showing live sport.
