Things to do

There are some bicycles provided so you can ride to the beach, along the river, to the shops, or just to explore the area. You will need to bring a bike pump for these.
If you like shopping Sunshine Plaza(the biggest shopping centre on the coast.) is a 10 min walk away.
For night life Ocean St is 15 min walk. It has great restaurants and bars you can dance the night away in.
The usual attractions Australia Zoo, Underwater world and Aussie world are a short drive away.
There are great beaches from Maroochydore south all the way to Caloundra. Or North from Maroochydore all the way to Noosa. Take a picnic lunch and explore the beaches, climb Mt Coolum or head to the hinterland and visit the villages of Montville, Maleny and Mapleton. There are many waterfalls in the hinterland so take your bathing suits.
There is so much to do in and around the Sunshine Coast within 50km of Maroochydore.
This is just a small introduction. Now it's up to you to make a booking and spend some time here to explore this beautiful part of Australia.

    This compact little house was ideal for our recent stay. 3 adults and 2 children. Beds were super comfortable with nice quality linen supplied. Every eventuality was catered for e.g. several pedestal fans available, washing machine, BBQ, plenty of crockery, utensils etc as well as some condiments, wraps, detergent, insect sprays. Bathroom is equipped with shampoo, liquid soap, toilet paper, towels, face washers, mat. Board games were available. Downstairs laundry as well as a toilet, bikes and helmets, indoor and outside clothes lines. Immaculate yard. Beautiful back deck with comfy chairs, bbq, table. We can't recommend this place highly enough.

    We had a lovely stay at this cosy little beach shack. It’s simple but had everything our family needed for our 5 nights. The beds were comfy, the kitchen had all the essentials, and the yard was perfect for the kids to run around.The location is fantastic just a short 5 minute walk to the river and a quick drive to shops and Maroochydore Beach. We would happily rebook this house.

    Great place to stay. Walking distance to water and the big shopping Centre. Yard was great for our 2 dogs.The back verandah was great for a get together with family.Only thing would be good if backyard was closed off on each side so you could keep the dogs in one spot.

    I had an absolutely amazing experience at this accommodation! The location is unbeatable — just a short walk to the mall, which made shopping, dining, and entertainment incredibly convenient. It was so nice to be close to everything without needing to drive far.The space itself was spotless, beautifully decorated, and incredibly comfortable. Everything was exactly as described (if not better), and all the small touches — like fresh towels, coffee, and local recommendations — made it feel like a home away from home.What really made the stay exceptional were the hosts. They were warm, responsive, and genuinely caring. From check-in to check-out, they made sure we felt welcome and had everything we needed. They went above and beyond to ensure a smooth and pleasant stay, which made all the difference.If you're looking for a cozy, convenient place near the mall with truly great hosts, look no further. I would absolutely stay here again and recommend it without hesitation!

    We enjoyed our stay at The Shack. The inside space was smaller than I thought it would be from the photos but we all loved the back deck and enjoyed eating our meals out there. Good range of kitchen supplies but not enough bowls for the number of guests. Easy and efficient communication with the host and check in was super easy.

    Everything was so easy from directions to leaving . We stayed Mon-Fri with our dog .The house was exactly to the pictures , clean , well thought out & and the breeze was amazing. Everything was there ( we took all our own bits towels , shampoo, sheets , cups ) but the house is so well stocked, there really was no need . Check in was easy and so clear -we had no need to contact the owners but had numbers if needed. Even the gardens had been mowed - great yard for the dog . And off road parking . I know people always say “would book again “ but we are going to book for later on in the year . The dog beach in twin waters is an off lease beach & truly an awesome place Great job to the owners

    The Shack was an excellent place to stay and was presented as listed. It is close to river, beaches, shopping and restaurants. The yard is excellent for traveling with a dog as it is completely enclosed. There are two great decks, one small one at the front and a large deck at the back. It was very clean and well presented with many extras supplied such as bikes and toiletries. The. property is in a quiet street with walking areas close by. I would recommend this property to family and friends

Our 2 dogs thoroughly enjoyed playing & napping in the enclosed yard. The deck had a beautiful breeze which was lovely on the hot evenings. The location is fantastic, really close to everything. Our kids are keen to come & stay here again soon!
