Choose Maroochydore accommodation
Many of us look forward to vacations which offer the charm and slow pace of a small town without having to give up the amenities of city life. Not every place in Australia can provide these qualities together but, if you're looking for Sunshine Coast accommodation, Maroochydore is one place which strikes a perfect balance between the two.

The Maroochy River is another of the town’s attractions. Maroochydore is nestled between the ocean and this gentle river whose southern banks are some of the Australia’s most scenic picnic spots. The Maroochydore area also has parklands rich in diverse flora and fauna.
Once you’ve spent the day in the forests, beaches and riverside of Maroochydore taking in the natural beauty, relaxing and playing in the sun, Sunshine Plaza and Big Top Shopping Centre are close at hand.

Maroochydore is also an easy town to navigate. This town of 17,000 inhabitants has transportation options including cars, buses and coaches which can be found anywhere you are in town.
