Our recommendation would be to check out the Novotel Twin Waters Resort. Ideal for families and couples with a world class golf course and Day spa attached. (click here to read our story)

From the Sunshine Coast you have easy access to some amazing day trips to places such as Fraser Island or head north to Gympie, or Rainbow Beach. You can go for a guided tour along the 90mile beach to see old shipwrecks and the famous coloured sands.

Spending only a week in the Sunshine Coast wasn't enough.The highlight of our stay was exploring the Noosa Everglades and also hiking the Noosa Provincial park for epic landscapes. Whether you want to spend some time in Noosa Heads hanging out with all the surfers or shop on Hastings street with the many shops, bars and cafes or go more south towards Coolum/Mooloolaba to explore some other beautiful beaches and hike the epic mount Coolum.
