A Mirror to Infinity: Platinum Pool of the Year Winner 2024
This extraordinary infinity pool by Mayfair Pools Northland – Ultra Custom Pools has taken the Platinum crown with its stunning mirror effect and self cleaning system.
To craft that perfect reflection, water overflows from all sides of the pool and creates a perfectly flat surface that reflects the sky and surrounding environment like a mirror. The result? A show stopping visual impact.
But not only is this pool gorgeous to look at, it is also completely self cleaning with Paramount swimming pool self cleaning system! The ultimate in luxury.

For every stage in life: Silver Pool of the Year 2024
After doing their due diligence, this retired couple determined that none of the off the shelf pool sizes, shapes, colours or entrance steps suited their requirements or aesthetic.
They wanted to design the perfect pool and spa combo that would be right for their current circumstances – and still be right in 10 years time.
Mayfair Pools Hamilton & Cambridge guided them through the entire pool design and build process, and they are delighted with their bespoke pool. Equally perfect for their phase of life and for that of their extended family.

The Heart of the Holiday Park: Commercial Pool of the Year 2024
Also winner of the SPASA 2024 Commercial Project of the Year & Hotel/Resort Pool up to $500,000!
A resort-style coastal haven on beautiful Papamoa Beach. This family retreat at the Tauranga Holiday Park needed a focus for fun and relaxation for the whole family.
This massive commercial project – consisting of developing a new pool recreation zone for the Tauranga Holiday Park – was part of a Design and Build project by Watts and Hughes. To ensure a high quality finish that will last a lifetime on a freeform pool of this scale, Mayfair’s proprietary fibreglassing system – executed by Mayfair Pools Tauranga & Whakatane – was the perfect solution.
The design included the large freeform pool with incorporated splash deck for the littler guests, ramps, steps, and building in seating. The location of this development was in a central area of the holiday park which remained operational for the duration of the project.

A Simple Refresh: Silver Renovation of the Year 2024
After
Before
An old cracked concrete pool with crumbling plaster and drummy walls, needed a serious amount love from Mayfair Pools Marlborough.
The clients wanted a permanent product that would last for years to come. They wanted to retain the overall look of the pool and surrounds while upgrading to materials that would go the distance and require a lot less maintenance.
The skimmer needed to be replaced and the lights upgraded, fresh waterline and step tiles and new coping pavers. Installation of a heat pump finished off this refurbishment allowing the clients to add weeks to their swim season.
