Sunshine Coast Accommodation

Surf, savour and style at Noosa

Renowned for its swanky eateries, boutique-cum-galleries and big surf beaches bejewelled with bronzed bodies, Noosa is the much-loved holiday spot of the working class and rich-and-famous. Upmarket Sheraton and Sebel hotels are both found on the urbane main drag, Hastings Street, along with a number of 4-star hotels and apartments that call Noosa Heads home.

Indulgent resorts are heavily present on the Noosa accommodation scene, with an extensive menu of spa treatments to spoil yourself or your lucky loved ones. It's not just about the beach, however, with tranquil 3 and 4-star waterfront lodgings along the river at Noosaville, around the bend from scenic "eat street" Gympie Terrace.

A selection of family-friendly stays

Reminiscing about your childhood beach holidays where the family would pile into the car and come back tinged by sunshine and salt air? Caloundra is the perfect place to relive that experience, with a laidback energy oozing through popular Kings, Dicky and Moffat Beaches, and spacious Sunshine Coast accommodation offerings perfect for the whole family, including pets!

Affordable family-friendly apartments are never far from the foreshore on the Sunny Coast, especially further north in Mooloolaba. Amidst the surf shops and al fresco cafes on Mooloolaba Esplanade you will find the Mantra, while venturing into Alexandra Headland and Maroochydore reveals a variety of mid-range and budget stays.

Unwind and head for the hills

It's hard to believe the Sunshine Coast Hinterland is just a stone's throw from the ocean. This forest-laden, misty mountain region is prime bed and breakfast country – a pleasant contrast to the shimmer of the outlying coast.

Eco lodges, rainforest resorts, boutique hotels and secluded cottages adorn the inland landscape, offering the perfect setting for cosy nights by the fire, spas with rolling views and day trips into the town centre for local craft markets and tea for two. Book your stay at a Maleny B&B in the heart of the jade-green hinterland, bunker down in the charming village of Montville or get back to nature in the Glasshouse Mountains.
