The only reason condition is rated slightly lower is because of the renovations currently taking place. Apart from that - great food, lovely team, beautiful scenery, good in-room facilities.

Waterfront Wonder

From the minute Sara checked us in and provided vouchers for a free beverage each and 10% off our meal at the restaurant, to her remembering our names every time we saw her smiling face, the overall experience couldn't have been better. The Duty Manager & bar staff were also very professional, friendly and incredibly helpful whilst dining at the restaurant. Our room had been recently refurbished, so everything was clean and well maintained. The beds were comfortable, the shower lovely and hot, and the room was very dark and quiet during the night. Will definitely return the next time we are staying at the Sunshine Coast.
