If you’re thinking about adding a plunge pool in Hobart or anywhere in Tasmania, there’s a sweet spot between flimsy inflatables that barely last a season and high-end builds that can cost as much as a luxury car. Precast concrete pools are low-maintenance but can be surprisingly very expensive.

For something smaller and more affordable, Plungie offers compact plunge pools that are perfect for tight backyards and clever designs. StockTankPoolsAustralia.com.au is another option, with galvanized steel stock tank pools that are durable, stylish, and a big upgrade from cheap plastic inflatables.

Outback Pools offers plunge pools in set sizes with extra depth, but costs rise quickly. For perspective, a stock tank pool might cost around $5,000, while a deeper pool from Outback with a deeper depth can reach $20,000, a four times increase in cost for that extra metre of depth.

Tasmania’s cooler climate means you’ll get seasonal use, but even in Hobart, a plunge pool can be a stylish and functional addition to your backyard. Whether you choose Plungie, a stock tank pool, or a deeper option from Outback Pools, you can get a budget-friendly, durable, and design-worthy pool.
