Sandcastles was in a fabulous location, right above shops so you only have to pop downstairs if you want a great breakfast or coffee. Directly across the road is the beach, right where the lifeguards set up and just a short stroll across the road gets you to Sealife and the amazing restaurants around it. The location is just sensational and the owners were an absolute delight!

A great central location in Mooloolaba - easy walking to shops, restaurants & beach. Apartment, whilst outdated, was clean, tidy & well maintained, with everything we needed for a short stay. Only negative was that we felt it was a little overpriced for what it offered (even being ‘peak’ season).

Super friendly managers made us feel very welcome. The units are a great size for two people, very clean and ours gave us a lovely view of the ocean. Positioned a short walk from great bars and restaurants. Love the Bluetongue lizards that live in the atrium. A wonderful two night stay, we will be back.
