Denice was very welcoming, and helpful, even when we had a "problem" that didn't exist! Simple accommodation; close to most things; flat for walks!

Thanks Peter, it was lovely having you stay. I’m glad we could sort out the little “problem” quickly sometimes it’s just a simple thing that needs a second look! It was a pleasure to help make your stay comfortable. We’re lucky to be so close to everything while still having a quiet, flat area that’s great for walking. Thanks again for choosing to stay with us, and we’d love to welcome you back to the Sunshine Coast again. Denice

A very comfortable semi-detached apartment in the suburbs at the foot of budrim mountain. Easy access to shipping, food and beaches. Mick and Denice are lovely and ready to help with any questions. A perfect choice.
