Fantastic Beach Property

The position of this hotel right across from the patrolled beach, playground, skate park, surf club, shops and restaurants is perfect for a Sunshine Coast visit. Our 2 bed unit was spacious, well equipped and comfortable. There is a fairly busy road between the property and the beach but paradise isn't always perfect.

We had a nice stay. It was very close to the beach. It would have been more pleasant if the trees outside were pruned so that we got a view even to the ground. Some of the branches were touching the bedroom window. Had it been windy it would have been really annoying.
