Shearwater is a lovely complex. Overlooking the ocean from our unit was a beautiful bonus. Staff were very friendly. Love to go back this year and hopefully get another unit with ocean views. Parking was secure.

Splendid Shearwater

Our stay at Shearwater, Caloundra was excellent. We were able to check in online a day before and were allowed into our room at 12:00pm instead of the usual 2:00pm room check in. Our request for a higher room level was also fulfilled. To top it off, a welcome hamper was waiting for us on the table. The view of the boardwalk and the ocean from the balcony was spectacular.

ULTIQA Shearwater Resort was the perfect place for our 3 night stay. The communication from the resort was fantastic and the staff and management very helpful and friendly. Our studio apartment on level 2 had great views and even though it was a bit dated, it was very clean. You can’t beat the location. We could walk to most things but a proper grocery store is a short drive away. We would definitely stay here again. Highly recommended!

Great place to stay Helpful staff on check in and the welcome basket was fabulous. The only negative I would say is the pool access for older customers or people with joint replacements like myself is very difficult. No grab rail and only two steps then it goes to 1.5m

Property was amazing! Been 10 odd years since we were there last and it still lives up to its good memories. In close walking distance to everywhere! Staff are lovely and the property was nice and clean. Fairly priced as well Only complaint would be the bed sheets, the quilt was wrapped with 2 flat sheets and made it awkward to stay warm at night. Other than that, will definetely be coming back!
