The Sunshine Coast is certainly one of the most appealing regions of Queensland to visit, both for Australians and foreigners alike. That’s saying something, especially considering that Australia is completely surrounded by beaches, but what makes the Holiday rentals Sunshine Coast – and in particular, Maroochydore – one of the top destinations for family holidays? Here are a few quick reasons:
Take in the Beauty of the Maroochy River
The gentle, clean Maroochy River flows out into the ocean, and it’s this tranquillity that makes Maroochydore a perfect spot along the Sunshine Coast. While there are many other great towns to check out along the coast, many with canals and manmade waterways, the mighty Maroochy River is a great natural beauty to behold.
For families with young children able to swim, the Maroochy River is a lot safer and it’s a great place for stand-up paddleboarding and other fun family activities.
Crystal Clear & Clean Beaches
Of course, no trip to the Sunshine Coast would be complete without lounging on the many beautiful beaches here. Our beaches, both those right on the coast and those along the Maroochy River, are a cosy retreat from big city life and a great place for families to have plenty of fun and get some well-needed relaxation.
Urban Comforts a Hop, Skip, and a Jump Away
While Maroochydore appeals to families looking for a tranquil getaway, it also offers plenty of amenities one might expect from a town or even a city. The Sunshine Plaza is the Sunshine Coast’s largest shopping centre and you’ll be able to shop ‘til you drop in the daytime, then go back to your accommodations near nature in the evening.
Furthermore, there are plenty of exciting family activities and games available for children of just about all ages (and those of us who are children at heart!). There are rope courses over the Maroochy River, hedge mazes, botanical gardens, and plenty of seasonal events to keep families busy and active.
Tasty Food in a Relaxed Atmosphere
Don’t make the mistake of assuming that your stay in Maroochydore will present you with limited dining options. There’s quite a bit to choose from for such a relatively small town, and that includes good family options for the little ones – great if you’ve got one or more picky eaters in the family.
In town, there are plenty of Asian and Asian fusion restaurants, Italian cuisine, classic cuisine, and fine dining options available. You’ll also find a few great seafood restaurants, of course, and there’s always fast food for quick bites on the go.
Cosy Apartments Right on the Maroochy River
Perhaps one of the most important things to consider during your stay in Maroochydore is, well, where exactly your family will be sleeping! While there are plenty of great hotels, a caravan park, and other lovely places to spend one or several nights, one of the best ways to take in the experience of river lifestyle is by staying right on the river itself. On the River Apartments has several lovely accommodation options for different group sizes, with all the amenities you should rightfully expect, right on the river and near the town and coast itself.
