Why it's worth checking out
Beachside Resort is a self-contained accommodation option in Kawana Waters, on the Sunshine Coast, positioned opposite Buddina Beach and just south of Mooloolaba. The resort describes its location as absolute beach frontage, with Kawana Beach patrolled and the Kawana Surf Club next door. For guests who want the coast close at hand, the beach, shops, cinema and local events are all described as being within a short stroll.
Accommodation ranges from one-bedroom apartments for couples through to two- and three-bedroom apartments suited to families or larger groups. There is also a Penthouse Apartment with 270-degree-plus ocean views. The resort occupies seven storeys, and guest feedback on the site highlights the generous space and large front and rear balconies in the South Penthouse, along with views across the ocean. All apartments are fully self-contained and include free Wi-Fi, making the property suitable for a longer stay as well as a short beach break.
The facilities are designed for a mix of relaxed and active days. Guests can use the heated swimming pool, gym, sauna and spa, or play tennis on the full-size floodlit court. A BBQ area provides another option for spending time at the resort, while the facilities gallery also refers to air-conditioned comfort and space to watch sport or movies. This gives couples, families and groups a choice between heading straight to the beach and settling in for a quieter day on site.
The resort team says it can help guests plan their Sunshine Coast stay, including visits to Point Cartwright, walks along the beaches, hinterland touring and local cafés and art galleries. The surrounding area also offers fishing, cycling and walking tracks, stand-up paddleboarding near the Mooloolah River inlet, shopping and the cinema. Beachside Resort Buddina is therefore best suited to travellers who value apartment-style space, nearby coastal activities and resort facilities, whether they are travelling as a couple, family or group.
