Clean, tidy. We appreciated the recliners in the loungeroom.. great after walking to beach and enjoying Sunny Coast. Host also provided rainy day activities such as games and books. Loved that my little dog was welcome. Host also provided dog bed and bowls, so no stress if you forgot yours.

We liked the dog friendliness and that we could leave our little mate in the courtyard while we walked to the Surf Club for dinner. Very generous servings there.

Excellent doggy vacation!

We really enjoyed our stay in this very comfortable, safe and clean unit. Great kitchen and laundry facilities and we appreciated the tea and coffee supplies and wine in the fridge! This is an excellent location for the travelling pooch and my greyhound Frankie loved the off lead huge beach just a few minutes walk away. Also close to the patrolled beach at Kawana for the hoomans to enjoy! Thanks for a great stay!

The Sweet Spot of Sunshine Coast

This house was really a well-appointed HOME that I could picture living in. The kitchen has everything you need to cook, with convenient seating at the kitchen island. The whole place was wonderful, but the location couldn't have been better, minutes to walk to the beach or shopping, and a place to park the car to get around to all of the Sunshine Coast. Fabulous

Stay at Kawana Wsters

We had a lovely time staying at Kawana Waters. The unit was spotless when we arrived and had everything there that we needed. The yard was a sun trap and so comfortable to sit and relax. It was so close to the shopping centre as well as the beach and the walking paths. We cycled Donny Dicky Beach and went board and played golf at Maleny. Would definitely recommend staying at the unit again. Thank you

Sunshine coast holiday with Cyclone Alfred

Great location. Close to shopping centre and bars, restaurants, Bed too small for us (used to king). Felt safe from the "cyclone" but really just a persistent rainy day or 2 where we were. Check in and out was easy. Most utensils covered. Needed extra tea towel fot the kitchen. On arriving found the nespresso machine wouldn't work.
