Neighbourhood
Moffat Beach is one of the hidden gems of the Sunshine Coast. It retains the village/ family feel of a small beach town, while still being close to the the busier areas of Caloundra, Mooloolaba and Noosa.
Nearby are extensive beach side parks with relaxed cafes to grab a bite to eat and watch the world go by. A small creek enters the beach which offers a safe space for children to swim and play.
For the adults, Moffat Beach has a world class surf point break, as well as more open beach breaks nearby. Surfboards/stand-up paddle boards and bikes are available for guests to use.
The village is well serviced by cafes and restaurants serving breakfast/ lunch/ dinner as well as a boutique brewery, ice creamery and homewares shops. Picnics from 3pm to dark are popular, particularly Fri/Sat/Sun, with families enjoying fish and chips, and a few quiet drinks while the sun goes down.
The Sunshine Coast coastal pathway crosses through Moffat Beach, with beautiful walks/running tracks south to Golden Beach or north to Buddina/Bokarina.
The house itself is set 2 streets back from the beach in a quiet, safe environment.
Getting to my home
Brisbane or Sunshine Coast airports are the closest.
Nearest airport
Being on the southern end of the Sunshine Coast, Brisbane airport is approx 1.5hrs drive. While the smaller Sunshine Coast Airport is approx 40 min drive.
Getting Around
Moffat Beach is a Village community with 5 or 6 cafe's + home ware/beach wear shops at hand. There is a small supermarket and bakery within walking distance. Major supermarkets, shopping centres however are only a 5 min drive (2km).

We are open to discussing mutual swap of vehicles ( note our vehicles are manual).

People Like Us Local Guide
We are new to this platform but would be interested in meeting up to share experiences/ knowledge etc.
Thankyou Col & Leonie for exchanging your beautiful home with us. We truly felt comfortable and welcomed from the moment we arrived.
Everything was thoughtfully prepared, and we appreciated all the little touches that made our stay so enjoyable. The pool was wonderful as I am recovering from 1 broken ankle and 1 badly sprained ankle.
We loved exploring the area and coming back each day to such a relaxing space. Moffat Beach is positioned perfectly to visit all the surrounding activities. Australia Zoo, the Ginger Factory, the Big Pineapple, Mary River Rattler, Noosa Beach and many more.
Around the corner there are many cafes and special shops which you pass on the way to 'Moffat Beach'.
Our heartfelt thanks for our wonderful stay and wish you both all the best with future exchanges.
Warmest wishes, Marilyn & John
We had an unforgettable stay at Colin and Leonie's. The property is amazing, real close to beautiful beaches and all services. It is located close to major arteries that grant you access to top destinations on the Eastern Coast of Australia.
Leonie and Colin were so kind to welcome me into their home while I was looking for a share house to stay at during my semester at the University of the Sunshine Coast.
Their lovely modern and spacious home is located within easy walking distance to a great beach and all daily necessities like supermarkets, gas stations and restaurants.
But, most importantly, Leonie and Colin are super nice and the most caring people. They went out of their way to make my first weeks in Australia as comfortable as possible, they helped me with so many things such as transport, getting a bank account and phone number set up and so much more!
If you ever get the chance to host or stay with Leonie and Colin: go for it!
Dear Colin and Leonie, thank you so much for everything. I hope to see you in Germany!
Chiara
Col & Leonie were oceans away from us as we had a simultaneous exchange. From our shared messages Col & Leonie embraced Bali and had many adventures with the support of our driver.
Col and Leonie were great guests and we would gladly welcome them again to Bali.
Warmest wishes, Marilyn & John
We loved staying in Marilyn's villa. The location couldn't have been better.
Close to all of Sanur's wonderful restaurants, shops and services. The villa was roomy enough for a couple, with a great little kitchen and lounge area, and a nice verandah for drinks and a meal if desired. The villa was serviced every 3 days, we loved the choice of 2 pools and appreciated the deck lounges for reading. Access to reception for advice and recommendations, and things like laundry services was also very handy.
We recommend Marilyn's place to others wanting to enjoy Bali, and would definitely stay again.
Feedback for Marilyn·Simultaneous exchange·23 nights
Marilyn left our home beautifully. Everything was clean and tidy and as we prepared it for Marilyn. She was a wonderful guest who contacted us as needed. We appreciated the flowers and the lovely card. Thank you Marilyn, you are welcome back any time!
Uli's daughter Chiara stayed with us for a hospitality stay whilst she sourced accomodation for University here on the Sunshine Coast. We loved having Chiara in our house and we were a bit sad to see her go. She is such an interesting, polite, and warm person, and would welcome Chiara or her family to stay with us if they ever visit Australia in the future.
Dear Leonie and Colin,
Thank you so much for hosting Chiara and making her first weeks in Australia so easy and enjoyable. For me, it was great to know her to be in such good hands. I hope to see you in Munich or at lake Chiemsee someday! Or even in Australia, who knows. Thank you for the offer. I look forward to meeting both of you in person.
All the best and happy travels, Uli

Colin and Leonie
Colin & Leonie. Retired empty nesters living on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland Australia. Looking to explore the world and equally, allow others to experience the lifestyle of one of the best beaches in Australia.
Looking for swaps from 2027 onwards. Prefer non- remote areas where we can use public transport or walk to local places of interest.
Generally we don't swap over the Xmas/NewYear or Easter periods due to family commitments.
