Wake up with a view

One of Queensland’s most prized possessions is the Sunshine Coast’s pristine string of beaches that stretches from Caloundra to Noosa North Shore, encompassing a treasure chest of popular holiday destinations along the way. Popular with local and international holidaymakers, this cluster of surf towns experiences a seasonal deluge of tourists during warmer months, tempted by famous waves, protected bays, pristine national parks and an extensive array of accommodation options, from camping and caravan parks to opulence-defining luxury escapes. What this means when it comes to finding the perfect Sunshine Coast accommodation, there’s plenty to choose from.

From absolute beachfront to hinterland heaven

For holidaymakers, one of the greatest things about the accommodation options the Sunshine Coast presents is the huge variety on offer. From absolute beachfront accommodation along its stunning stretch of coastline to rainforest retreats in the hinterland, farm stays and pet-friendly accommodation, the Sunshine Coast doesn’t disappoint.  

Sunshine Coast holidays are especially for famed resident Noosa, where the accommodation options are abundant, extensive and clustered around ocean access. Luxury properties and well-established resorts are the norm here, but budget-friendly options abound in the family-friendly towns, with Coolum, Caloundra, and Mooloolaba boasting a number of affordable accommodation options and campgrounds.

If solitude is what you crave, take to the Sunshine Coast Hinterland. Quaint country towns like Maleny will greet you, with bed and breakfasts and luxe takes on country retreats, with a duo of Spicers estates residing amongst the region’s rolling hills. There’s also an impressive array of hotels, motels and family resorts on the Sunshine Coast, so whether you’re travelling as a couple, a group or with the tribe in tow, you’re sure to find the perfect holiday accommodation for your budget and preferences. And if you’re looking for last-minute accommodation or accommodation deals for your Sunshine Coast getaway, there’s plenty to be found too. 

Sunshine Coast caravan parks and camping 

For those towing a caravan or pitching a tent, there’s an extensive range of caravan parks and camping options along the Sunshine Coast. From Coolum Beach Holiday Park to the popular Cotton Tree Holiday Park on the sandy banks of the Maroochy River and Ocean View Caravan and Tourist Park inland at Landsborough, there’s plenty of Sunshine Coast campgrounds and caravan parks to take your pick from. If you’re new to camping and don’t have the required ‘camping kit’, book a getaway at Rainbow Beach Ultimate Camping at Inskip Peninsula and take advantage of the ‘pitch and pack’ packages where all you need to bring are your clothes. 

Holidaymakers with a 4x4 will find they have an impressive array of options whether looking for campsites along the coast or heading inland to the hinterland. Noosa North Shore Beach Campground and the beach camps at Bribie Island are perfect for anyone looking for absolute beachfront seclusion, while Amamoor State Forest and Conondale National Park are home to some of the most popular campgrounds on the Sunshine Coast hinterland. And as these campsites are operated by Queensland Parks and Wildlife, you’ll find a stay in this stunning part of the Sunshine Coast is as friendly on the finances as the lush, rolling countryside is on the eyes. 

Luxury escapes on the Sunshine Coast 

Looking for an extravagant escape to paradise? Luxury accommodation on the Sunshine Coast ranges from beachfront resorts to luxury hotels and even glamping in bushland among the Noosa Everglades — there’s something for everyone where luxury escapes are concerned. Noosa’s Hastings Street is one of the most popular destinations for Sunshine Coast luxury accommodation and escapes but there’s lavish digs to be found right along this awe-inspiring stretch of coastline, not to mention the heavenly hinterland that runs along the Great Dividing Range. From the luxury suites of Netanya Noosa to Secrets on the Lake on the shores of Lake Baroon and Narrows Escape Rainforest Retreat in the Montville hills, you’ll find yourself spoiled for choice when planning luxury escapes on the Sunshine Coast.
