Nature
If you prefer to chill out locally in nature, you will find everything you want on your doorstep for a perfect holiday. Slip into your shorts and thongs. Grab a picnic basket crammed with your favourite goodies. Stroll down to discover Queensland’s best-kept secret, Coolum Beach. Where sun-filled family holidays really do come true.

Beach and Mount Coolum
You will want to go down to the beach first thing in the morning, as the sun tiptoes above the horizon and bathes the water in a golden glow. Perhaps later in the day you might like to try a gentle forty-minute bush walk up the slopes of Mount Coolum National Park. The 360-degree view takes in the beach, the north and south coast, and the wilderness inland. Coolum truly has everything and we have the perfect place to stay.

Accommodation
Unlike purpose-build resorts that try to cram everything into the tiniest spaces, our accommodation at Growder Court began its life as a roomy family home in an upmarket condo. We offer a spacious main bedroom upstairs with private veranda facing south. Two further decent-sized rooms each sleeping three, plus a bright and airy bathroom. Just like you probably have at home.

Downstairs we have a generous lounge-cum-diner, a spacious kitchen, and a private laundry just for you. Linen is included.

Free Things to Do Around Coolum Beach

1. Coolum Beach – swim, surf & relax
You don’t need to spend a cent to enjoy one of the Sunshine Coast’s beautiful beaches. Swim, walk the sand, throw a footy, try some bodyboarding, or simply find a shady spot and chill out.

2. First Bay & the Coolum coastline
