Firstly I would like to Thank Julianne and her team from JVPLAY who arranged everything from the quoting to the installation, very professional service.

As far back as 1986, Caboolture Bowl has been simply a Bowling Centre. Now, 25 years on we have progressed and grown into a family orientated business and now known as Caboolture Bowl and Mini Golf. We have extended to 18 bowling lanes and with our newest addition in September 2010 the Wild West 9 hole Glow Mini Golf, which has proven to be really popular for all ages. We also have Amusement machines and a fully licensed cafe.

Julianne,

Now that Tabatinga, Coffs Harbour is open for business and the next phase in our business development begins, I wanted to write to you to express mine and Cathy’s appreciation for your invaluable support and guidance throughout our entire journey thus far.

We are very proud of the end result of Tabatinga, Coffs Harbour, it has certainly turned out to be not only exactly as we dreamed but indeed it has exceeded our expectations. Your support in ensuring that our facility design, choice of supplier, attraction mix and theming was achieved on time, on budget and as anticipated has proven to be invaluable.

The response received from our first wave of customers has been very positive with many struggling to comprehend the quality of the attractions and theming that greet them when they enter.

We hope to continue working with you in the future to ensure that we, with your support, stay on the forefront of the world’s recreation trends and ensuring that we have the best product possible.

Kind Regards

Brian Parker
Owner – Tabatinga, Coffs Harbour

The first Blacklight Attraction in Australia was built in 2004 at Tik Tocs in the Sydney suburb of Prestons, utilising the black light Mini Golf System.  In consistence with an Australian theme, our Black light golf has intelligently incorporated our great outback, and our under water world which is also a tourist attraction and an educational tour for children and adults alike.   For the minimal of area in any centre it has out weighed the income of the whole centre as a unique attraction.

During 2007, thirty-three (33) new hotel indoor water parks opened. Eighty-three (83) hotel water parks are under construction now or will break ground during 2008 — including fifty-five (55) projects scheduled to open in 2008 and another twenty-three (23) that are slated to open in 2009-2010.

Hotels and resorts with indoor water parks are a small but rapidly-growing segment of the lodging, recreation and entertainment business. Nationally, water park hotel rooms grew 20.9% in 2007 compared to ordinary hotel rooms at 1.4% growth. The following chart illustrates the growth over the last six years.

Nationally, these 169 properties have a total of 28,888 rooms, over 4.1 million square feet of indoor waterpark space and 511 meeting rooms covering 1.6 million square feet of meeting space. Today, about 48% of hotel waterparks are affiliated with a national franchise brand and 52% are independent.

Hotel water parks are popular with families and hotel owners because they fill empty rooms at higher room rates than hotels without indoor water parks.

Every year the construction pipeline gets bigger. And hotel water park projects keep getting bigger in size. Many are part of mixed-use resort destination developments that include conference centers, recreation, entertainment.

An indoor water park is like an outdoor water park, except all the fun is packed into a cube which is attached to a hotel that is open 365 days a year, rain or shine. The first hotel indoor water park in the USA was created in 1994 a businessman who was trying to fill his hotel rooms on weekends. He installed some water gizmo in his indoor pool, and weekend occupancy skyrocketed.
Hotels and resorts have ups and downs. They are seasonal properties with high periods and low periods from month to month and from weekday to weekends. The indoor water park has an amazing ability to fill empty rooms with families and young children on weekends all year long and whenever kids are out of school.

The indoor water park is a perfect component for the hotel owner that wants a balanced mix of customers — individual business travelers, groups and individual leisure guests.
