Sunshine & Sons, Woombye
Whether you’re looking for a leisurely afternoon of spa treatments and champagne, or something a little more artistic, our hens and bucks parties on the Sunshine Coast bring plenty of fun energy ahead of the big day. So, pop the bubbles, get your party ‘fit on, and let the good times begin!
Group activities
Noosa Springs Spa
Giggle away as you craft up modern masterpieces at Frida’s Paint ‘n’ Sip class. Make sure to bring your own drinks and snacks to enjoy as the evening progresses: we recommend picking up a round of Woombye Cheese’s Triple Cream Brie and some local smoked sea salt sourdough crackers by Silver Tongue Foods for an easy DIY treat.
If you’re not much of a planner, hand the reins over and hop aboard one of our fabulous craft beer tours. Not only will you get the benefits of an experienced local guide and driver, but you’ll get to sample some of the best local brews in the business. Cheers!
TANK Bathhouse in Mooloolaba sets the stage for an Instagram-worthy hens party filled with bubbling hot tubs, a cruise along the sparkling Mooloolah River, steam and sauna rooms, cocktails and more. Ikatan Day Spa Noosa and Noosa Springs Spa also offer up plenty of opportunities for a rejuvenating session with your besties.
A trendy night out
Cocktails at WAT Den
As the pastel twilight colours descend on the Sunshine Coast, pop on the glam and head out for a cocktail masterclass at WAT Den. Here, you’ll find all the trimmings of a luxurious Melbourne bar... except this time, the ocean is just across the road.
A short walk from WAT Den is Casita Wine Bar – one of the cutest new establishments on the Sunshine Coast. With its gorgeous Mediterranean aesthetic and boutique wine list, this is the spot to indulge in a drink or two with some light nibbles on the side.
For folk who are keen on sticking to the Hinterland, we suggest popping into the cosy surrounds of Spill Wine Bar in Maleny. Here, you'll find a chic haven of carefully selected wines ranging from classic labels to emerging independent producers, along with a moreish snack menu. Stay in for an evening of quality drinks, or buy a bottle from the wine store to serve with some goodies from Maleny Food Co just down the road.
For the foodies
High Tea at Flaxton Gardens
Tuck into a delicious high-tea amongst the gorgeous Hinterland surrounds of Flaxton Gardens, or soak up the scenic views from Aimee Provence in Buderim. High tea on the Sunshine Coast means plenty of delightful finger food and drinks to set the tone for a relaxed occasion with your nearest and dearest!
Make sure to pay Sunshine & Sons in Woombye a visit – after all, this distillery recently took home the prize for World’s Best (Botanical Vodka) at the World Vodka Awards. Indulge in a cocktail out on their lush terrace overlooking the rolling paddocks beyond. This secluded local favourite is a great way to spend an afternoon.
Mapleton Public House
Alternatively, set a relaxing tone for your hens or bucks with a luxurious long lunch at Mapleton Public House. With everything from buttermilk fried oyster mushroom to Farm risotto on the menu, you'll be in the prime position to enjoy local flavours and to admire the sweeping Hinterland views from this historic venue.
If you’re keen to try something a little different for your upcoming hens or bucks (and learn something along the way), make sure to also check out the ‘Tasty Savoury’ tour on offer from Tasty Tours. Along with your best mates, you’ll get to enjoy an engaging workshop around all things fermented (think kimchi, sauerkraut and more), indulge in a Cheese Masterclass at Woombye Cheese, before finishing up with a tour of the Sunshine & Sons distillery.
