Neighbourhood
We are one street back from the Mooloolaba river. You will find within 2 minutes walk a play ground for toddlers and grassed area which is access to the river.
On the other side of our home is a lake which can be accessed within a 5 minute walk for fishing and exercise. As you continue the lake walk you will find numerous outdoor gym equipment, playgrounds, a basketball court, bridges and beautiful views. The walk is a circuit of approximately an hour and takes you to the local Brightwater Hotel Bar & Restaurant for food, drinks and socialising. Next to it is another well equipped playground and across the road you will find supermarkets, cafe, bakery, bottle shop (alcohol) fish & chips (English style chips is a winner for us!) and a beautiful Thai Restaurant which we recommend!
To get to the nearest beach which is Mooloolaba beach you can walk but this would be good exercise maybe takes an hour or less. To bike which is our preferred method of travel to the Mooloolaba beach it takes 15 minutes leisurely along the bike tracks. Car will take you 11 minutes. Mooloolaba is a busy holiday destination with boat trips, diving expeditions a sea world water sports restaurants cafes and a harbour.
Next to Mooloolaba beach take a walk along the board walk to Alexander Headlands which is a stunning coastal walk just 10-20 minutes away passing restaurants cafes shops and yes playgrounds, bbq areas everything you need!
We are surrounded by rivers and lots of beaches some quiet some busier. All family friendly, safe and well equipped with amenities and of course life guards.
Hiring a car is a good idea if you want to venture further and visit other must do places such as;
The Glass House Mountains
Australia Zoo
Kondallila National Park
The Ginger Factory
Eumundi Markets
Vineyards and Breweries
Montville and Maleny in the hinterland offer amazing views
Local dairies and experiences such as hot air ballooning etc….
Foodies will enjoy the local Mooloolaba prawns, spanner crabs and Moreton Bay bugs. If seafood isn’t your thing there’s plenty of other choices of good restaurants which cater for all tastes including vegan. We can recommend many!
