Getting Here
From the sea to the forest
The ultimate combo of ocean bliss and forest beauty starts here. Enter holiday mode as you embrace the peaceful surroundings of Serenity Falls in Buderim Forest Park and take a stand-up paddle board down the Maroochy River. Soak up the quiet beauty of the Maroochy Bushland Botanic Gardens and feel the gentle sea breeze on your face as you stroll the coastal walk from Cotton Tree to Alexandra Headland.
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.
Adventures to take you to new heights
Looking for something a little more adventurous? Take to the skies with a ride on Paradise Seaplanes! The kids will love taking their skateboards and scooters for a spin at Alex Skate Park, which is right next door to the beach.
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 centre of the maze (or should we say mazes!) first?
