The best pools for a summer plunge in Canberra and the surrounding NSW region

It’s that time of year again when having a swimming pool moves up a couple of spots on house hunters’ checklists.

Having spent more time at home in the last two years than at any other time, what better way to enjoy the warm weather than taking a dip in your very own pool, with a wine in hand and basking in the summer sun.

Much more than a practical inclusion, the swimming pool adds an element of prestige to a property. It’s not only a place to cool down but an attractive feature that becomes the centre of an urban oasis and the envy of friends in the summer.

To celebrate the holidays and the warmer weather, we’ve collated 10 of our favourite homes on the market in Canberra and the surrounding NSW region with the best pools on offer.
