Where to Stay
A perfect spot to stay for a long weekend in Mooloolaba with easy access to everything.
We stayed at Coco Mooloolaba Apartments in a corner apartment, which we loved because it felt extra open and bright. It was such a good base for the weekend, super easy to come and go with a baby in tow, nice and close to the beach and everything aro...

Such a beautiful spot for a relaxed meal by the water. The setting is gorgeous, the atmosphere feels a little bit special without being too formal, and it’s perfect for a breakfast, long lunch or dinner while you’re on the coast.
Dune By Pavilion
A great spot for a casual bite to eat. Has a great vibe and is very aesthetically pleasing.
Eat & Drink - Peregian Beach Hotel
One of those places where the view is just as much a part of the experience as the food. We stopped here while exploring Montville and it’s such a lovely spot to sit, eat and take in the hinterland scenery.
The Edge Restaurant
Such a cute little find while wandering around Montville. Definitely worth popping into if you love browsing local art, gifts and unique pieces — it adds to that charming little hinterland-town experience. And bonus points from us for everything bein...

You can’t really go wrong with a surf club meal when you’re on the Sunshine Coast. Alex Surf Club has a relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere and a beautiful beachside location — a great easy option when you want something casual.

A lovely casual cafe stop in Mooloolaba, perfect for breakfast or lunch before spending some time around the beach and esplanade. An easy one to add into a Mooloolaba day. Family friendly food with lots of gluten free options.
Mooloolaba Cafe
A gorgeous Italian restaurant right in Mooloolaba and a great option if you want somewhere a little nicer for dinner. Such a lovely atmosphere for a proper sit-down meal after a day exploring the coast. Plenty of gluten free options for those that ne...
Bella Venezia Restaurant Mooloolaba
The perfect little dessert stop after dinner or a walk along the Mooloolaba Esplanade. So many gelato flavours to choose from and exactly what you want on a warm Sunshine Coast night. 🍦

An absolute must if you’re visiting the Sunshine Coast on a Wednesday or Saturday. There’s so much to wander through — local makers, food, clothing, gifts and little stalls everywhere. Give yourself a couple of hours because it’s much bigger than you...
Eumundi Markets
A really easy, relaxed option for a casual meal & drinks with an activity. It’s family-friendly, laid-back and a good choice when you want something simple after a busy day exploring.

Definitely worth getting away from the beach for a few hours and heading into the hinterland. Montville is such a pretty little town to wander around, with gorgeous views, shops, cafes and galleries. It feels completely different to the coastal side ...

Noosa is an easy day trip and absolutely worth adding to a Sunshine Coast itinerary. We spent the day exploring, walking around and soaking up the atmosphere. Hastings Street, the beach and the surrounding area make it one of those places you can eas...
Noosa | Visit Sunshine Coast
One of the biggest highlights of the trip and such a good full-day activity. There is so much to see, so I’d definitely allow most of the day rather than trying to squeeze it in. It’s really well set up for families and was an easy outing to do with ...
Australia Zoo
Such an easy one to add to any Sunshine Coast itinerary. We loved spending some time down by the beach, having a wander along the esplanade and just soaking up that classic coastal atmosphere. It’s a great low-key activity to pair with breakfast, lun...
