🥁 THE CURTAIN IS FINALLY OPEN… THE SECRET IS OUT! 💦

After all the guessing, theories and some VERY creative suggestions, we can finally reveal what’s new at Lochmara this season…💦 Introducing our brand-new MINI WATERPARK! 💦 Alan Hill you finally guessed right after a few attempts!!

A huge thank you to everyone who joined in with our little black curtain mystery. We’ve absolutely loved reading your guesses — from glamping and hot tubs to saunas, viewing platforms, zip lines, a dive platform with a cocktail bar… and, of course, the dancing pole. 😂 You’ve certainly given us a few ideas for future additions… although we might leave the dancing pole off the development plan! 😉

Our new floating waterpark adds another way to get out on the water and enjoy Lochmara. It will be open Friday–Sunday each week, with additional days during school holidays - naturally subject to weather too.

If you’re travelling to Lochmara on our water transfer, make sure you book the waterpark as part of your package option available from 3pm 23 September 2026 online. Already here at Lochmara? You can book a session onsite.

The waterpark is subject to availability and operating conditions.

WHO’S READY TO GIVE IT A GO?! 👏

👀 PART THREE… and you lot are getting creative!

The guesses about what’s new at Lochmara this season just keep coming — and some of them have definitely made us laugh! 😂

We’ve now had everything from glamping, hot tubs and a sauna to a dive platform with a cocktail bar (we quite like the sound of that one 🍸), a zip line into the water, new rooms, new animals… and even a dancing pole! 💃😂

Are any of you getting warmer? 🔥
Are you all completely off track? 🤔
Or has someone actually guessed it? 👀

We’re saying NOTHING. 🤐

But we can tell you this…

🥁 The guessing ends Tuesday 22 September when we finally reveal what’s been hiding behind that curtain!

And even better — you won’t have long to wait to try it…

💚 It goes LIVE Friday 25 September!

Until then, keep wondering… 👀
