Getting Here
Maroochydore's coastal magic
Sunshine Moments are made while taking twilight coastal strolls along Maroochydore Beach, carving through the glassy waters of the Maroochy River on a stand-up-paddle board, and heading out on family bike rides along the river at Cotton Tree. When it’s time to call it a night, set up camp by the water at the Cotton Tree Caravan Park.
A smorgasbord of options
Try Lilianas Trattoria for an epic Italian feast, Soka, Giddy Geisha and Junk for umami Asian flavours, Orleans for some classic cuisine, Market Bistro for some finer fare, and SolBar for decadent cocktails and live beats.
Tranquil escapes
Enter holiday mode as you soak up the lush surroundings of Serenity Falls in Buderim Forest Park. This tranquil gem offers a kid-friendly scenic stroll between the trees, easy proximity to Buderim Village, and plenty of waterfall content to fill your social media feed. Keep the natural wonders coming and pack a picnic to enjoy at the nearby Maroochy Bushland Botanic Gardens. We’ll see you there!
One big playground for all
Explore the shopping delights within the Sunshine Coast’s largest shopping centre – the Sunshine Plaza. This spot is also home to the Next Level Park – a high ropes course with epic views across the Maroochy River. You’ll also want to test your puzzling skills at Amaze World and unleash your competitive side. Who can reach the middle of the maze (or should we say mazes!) first?
