- Bruce and Sharon were the perfect hosts/guests. Their home was centrally located and near the beach; restaurants; supermarket etc, so convenient. Their home was also very comfortable, inviting and very well equipped. There was lots to see and do in the area. Thanks again. Marie and Eimear

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
Mooloolaba is a popular, central Sunshine Coast resort town 100 kilometres from Brisbane (State Capital). It boasts magnificent ocean beaches, riverfront, variety of restaurants and great nightlife. It also has an all-weather port which is not only home to a large trawling fleet, but the finishing point for blue-water sailing races from both Sydney and Auckland. With its international standard marinas and quality restaurants, Mooloolaba is a favourite anchorage for ocean cruisers and game fisherfolk. Surfers can also have their moments on the Mooloolaba waves or at nearby beaches such as Alexandra Headland, Coolum and Maroochydore (or other Sunshine Coast beaches stretching from Noosa in the north to Caloundra in the south). Enjoy fish and chips on the beach, knowing it is fresh off the trawlers. The scenic gems of the Sunshine Coast hinterland are just a short drive inland.

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
Just a short 5 minute walk to Mooloolaba Esplanade you have many restaurants, cafes, surf club and boutique shopping as well as Coles supermarket, a pharmacy, bakery and bottle shop. Continuing along to the Mooloolaba Spit you have the surf on one side and the river on the other. You can get all the fresh seafood you could possible want - eat it there; take it away and sit on the beach or in the parks; or take it home fresh to cook for yourself.
Sea Life Mooloolaba (previously Underwater World) is a great attraction with sharks, seals and lots of other sea life on display. You can check it out at http://www.underwaterworld.com.au/.
Australia Zoo is a short drive away where you can see crocodiles, kangaroos, koalas and many more Australian and non-Australian wildlife. http://www.australiazoo.com.au/
A couple more websites on the region are www.visitsunshinecoast.com.au/ and www.tourismsunshinecoast.com.au/
