OUTDOOR HOT TUB:
Some of the resort’s big attractions are the giant outdoor jacuzzi located right above the water, the kid’s water trampoline and the famous “boat for dinner”. Enjoy the view from our sundeck, meet people or just relax in the swirling waters of our outdoor hot tub.
KIDS STUFF:
For the young guests at Sunshine Coast Resort we have a kids playground, table tennis, a sand box, a big trampoline, a variety of outdoor games and our very popular outdoor ping pong table. The shoreline in front of the resort is rocky and therefore offers fantastic “critter-hunting”. Crab traps are provided!
Kid’s Stuff on the Coast: Farm Ventures offers an amazing farm adventure. Families are greeted by the talking horse who scratches your back, the singing dog, and goat who walks on her hind legs. Go on a Farm Tour, Pony Trail ride, play in the Petting Farm, feed the animals from your own animal goodie bag and collect your own chicken egg.

During your stay treat yourself to relaxing spa services provided by Freedom Spa – located only a few hundred metres from the resort. They offer a variety of esthetics and massage treatments – choose from a romantic couples massage, or other therapeutic treatments such as hot stone, deep tissue, and relaxation massage.
