Why it's worth checking out
Lowanna Beach Resort by Direct Collective offers serviced studios and self-contained one, two and three-bedroom apartments in Buddina on the central Sunshine Coast. The resort is one block from Buddina Beach and next to Kawana Shoppingworld, placing shops, restaurants, bars, cafes and a Gold Class cinema within easy reach. Maroochydore and Mooloolaba are also a short drive away.
The accommodation is designed for different types of stays, from business trips and short breaks to family holidays and group getaways. Apartments include free Wi-Fi, air conditioning and a smart TV that allows guests to connect their own streaming devices. Some rooms also offer ocean views. Studio guests should note that car parking is not included, although the resort says ample street parking is available.
On site, guests have access to an outdoor swimming pool, BBQ area, on-site reception and undercover secure assigned parking.

With beach access close by, shopping next door and apartment-style accommodation, Lowanna suits travellers who want more space and practical facilities than a standard hotel room.
Spot Score
The Spot Score is our composite of five signals — two about the venue's standing with visitors and three about how complete and current this listing is. It is not a visitor rating and not a verdict on the food or the experience. The 4.0 from 82 reviews is Google's visitor rating, shown separately and never altered by us.
