Would you rather a jacuzzi or personal masseuse?
Comments (9)If I lived in the snow fields, jumping into a jacuzi after a day of skiing, would be the perfect end to a perfect day....See MorePool and a spa or a swim spa?
Comments (5)We used to have a swim spa, but found that it wasn't all that they are cracked up to be. Despite the heating, if you live somewhere cold and/or windy (eg Canberra), it is still very cold getting in and out in the winter - indeed we could slip on the ice on the ramp up to the spa! And even if you have it indoors or the weather is good - swimming against the jets isn't as good as real swimming. We used a snorkel to deal with the jets in your face and that worked well, but I had difficulty getting a good setting on the jets for my stroke. I'm now pretty sure that was due to a crooked stroke as my husband had a lot less trouble but it wasn't fun being pushed constantly out of the stream of water and finding myself at the side of the spa. Another thing is that you can only really have one person actually swimming at a time. I reckon kids can actually have a reasonable amount of fun in the spa - they do love the jets! There isn't as much room for a proper game of water polo etc....See MorePOLL: Which cubby would you rather?
Comments (13)I chose neither because my childhood was spent building our own cubbies. Sometimes outside under a tree or in a tree. Sometimes inside under a chair or under a table. By not having a cubby we used our imagination to engineer our own from what ever we could lay our hands on. We spent hours morphing our cubby and like harryinahurry the cubby's purpose was fluid depending on who was playing. It was home one minute, school next minute, another planet or even under the sea. Kids I know that had cubbies only played in them for a short while before their imaginations carried them outside and away on their next adventure....See MoreTo spa or not to spa, that is the question!
Comments (17)Thanks everyone for your comments so far. Bowmandrum , I definitely agree you need to tick as many boxes as possible for potential buyers. In answer to a few of your questions, we are in Sunny Brisbane, so the weather is not really an issue. However, our dilemma between a pool and spa is the very difficult access, the size of machinery dictates what we can actually accomplish. Hence, from our point of view it very much is a case of asking the question, if we can only manage a spa - will people appreciate it/want it or is it not worth it. Based on feedback with the poll it looks the spa will be worth the investment....See Moregeebe27
