A great central location in Mooloolaba - easy walking to shops, restaurants & beach.
Apartment, whilst outdated, was clean, tidy & well maintained, with everything we needed for a short stay.
Only negative was that we felt it was a little overpriced for what it offered (even being ‘peak’ season).

Sandcastles was in a fabulous location, right above shops so you only have to pop downstairs if you want a great breakfast or coffee. Directly across the road is the beach, right where the lifeguards set up and just a short stroll across the road gets you to Sealife and the amazing restaurants around it. The location is just sensational and the owners were an absolute delight!

Super friendly managers made us feel very welcome.
The units are a great size for two people, very clean and ours gave us a lovely view of the ocean.
Positioned a short walk from great bars and restaurants.
Love the Bluetongue lizards that live in the atrium.
A wonderful two night stay, we will be back.
