Novotel Sunshine Coast Resort

On the Sunshine Coast, a family-friendly beachfront resort minutes from Twin Waters, Mudjimba Beach and Twin Waters Golf Club. Sunshine Coast (Maroochydore) Airport is only about 5–7 km away, with easy access to local beaches and Sunshine Plaza.

This 4-star resort sits around a private saltwater lagoon with sandy beaches and acres of manicured gardens where kangaroos sometimes wander. Rooms range from garden-view to lagoon-view with balconies or patios, air conditioning, tea/coffee facilities and bar fridges. The property was refreshed in 2019 with a new lobby and restaurant, keeping the vibe modern and relaxed.

Take a dip in the renovated outdoor pool and spa, grab complimentary kayaks or a catamaran for lagoon play, or try stand-up paddleboarding and watersports. Leisure options include mini-golf, segway tours, bike hire, a gym and an outdoor fitness area. Expect poolside cocktails, beachfront calm and plenty of family-friendly activities.

Large conference and event facilities sit amid 36 hectares of bushland with more than 10 function/meeting rooms and a sizable convention centre. Onsite business services include meeting spaces, complimentary wired and wireless internet, and ample self-parking.

Resort dining covers local and international dishes across multiple outlets — a buffet restaurant and the alfresco Sola bar are highlights. Grab coffee and essentials from the deli café, enjoy buffet breakfasts or order room service during limited hours, and finish the day with poolside drinks and lagoon views.
