On the Sunshine Coast, find family-friendly holiday homes and romantic cottages.
One of Australia's most romantic getaways and family-friendly destinations is just a 90-minute drive from Brisbane, and home to plenty of warm-weather cabin rentals. The Sunshine Coast is famed for its beaches, national parks, and easy access to Australia Zoo, while in the nearby coastal communities of Noosa, Caloundra, and Mooloolaba, you'll find holiday homes within a short drive or walking distance of the beach, plus some oceanview vacation rentals. This is the place to stay if you're looking for cute cafes and strong wifi. But if you want to truly disconnect and reconnect with your loved ones, head up into the Sunshine Coast Hinterland—especially the area between Maleny, Montville, and Eumundi. Here, you can discover treehouse hideaways, luxury cabins, pet-friendly accommodations, and some of the best glamping in Australia. Cabin rentals here tend to be self-contained with kitchens and ensuites. Whatever you do, don't forget to pack your togs—in addition to the area's waterfalls, you might be able to take a dip in your cabin's hot tub.
