Family friendly experiences

We are working longer hours and struggling to spend quality time with our families. Holidays provide an opportunity to hang out with those we care about and have some fun together.

Welcome to our page about family friendly experiences.

From Caloundra to Mooloolaba and Alexandra Headlands to Noosa, the Sunshine Coast has safe family friendly beaches that are patrolled year-round for people of all ages to enjoy water activities galore.

And there is no shortage of things to do on the Sunshine Coast. Attractions worth checking out – Aussie World, Australia Zoo, Big Kart Track, Underwater World tour and more.

Are we nearly there yet?

It’s morning and the water shimmers with the fairy dust sprinkling of early light. Palms overhead yawn in the light breeze and birds announce their presence. Sugar cane applauds the effort. Nestled in the crook of the arm of the Eudlo Creek, Maroochy River Resort and Bungalows is waking up and stretching across its 8 acres. After the rain, the brown river water seems serene in the sunshine. Another lovely day reaches out.

Back in time at Sunshine Castle

I know that in medieval times, there were kids. But you don’t see them much in the history books, do you? The words fun and medieval aren’t often in the same sentence. It doesn’t appear a time when kids were allowed to be kids and could run amok. Kids were more likely to have to duck when the swords and pikes of war were being thrust about.  Or get ready to get married off at around 8 years of age. All very adult. Sunshine Castle redresses this historic imbalance.  It’s medieval and it’s fun. Who’d have thought it? Read more >

The Sunshine Coast is set to be transported back in time. Back to the 1950’s when the area was small towns and hamlets, pineapple plantations and sugar cane farms. Before the Big Pineapple was built and before the buzz words ‘sea change’ and ‘retiring baby boomers’ existed. Back to when the Austin Healey sports car was being manufactured in Longbridge, England by the British Motor Corporation.
