Why it's worth checking out
Pandanus Coolum Beach is a self-contained accommodation resort in Coolum Beach, on the Sunshine Coast, positioned above First Bay. The beach is just a few steps away, while Point Perry Lookout sits directly opposite. Cafés, restaurants, Coolum Surf Club and the town centre are also within an easy walk, making it possible to spend a holiday exploring the area without relying on the car.
The resort offers one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments, giving guests more space than a standard hotel room and making the property suitable for different types of stays. The apartments are described as light-filled and comfortable, with balconies, outdoor dining areas and coastal outlooks. Their self-contained layout is a practical choice for longer visits, families or anyone who prefers room to settle in rather than a compact room.
Facilities include a swimming pool, spa, WiFi, tropical gardens, sun lounges and onsite parking. The setting is intended to feel calm and unhurried, with sea breezes, views across the coast and the convenience of nearby beach access. Families are particularly well catered for: children can use the pool, swim at the beach and visit a nearby playground, while the spacious apartments give everyone room to spread out. The location also suits couples and small groups looking for a quieter base close to Coolum’s cafés, dining and coastal walks.
Guest feedback highlights the location, clean and spacious apartments, coastal views and welcoming service. Several reviews mention Grant’s helpful approach, with one also referring to Grant and Chrissy as friendly and attentive. The resort invites guests to book directly and request an apartment that suits their stay, with seasonal offers and direct contact with the people who manage the property. For a Coolum Beach break, Pandanus combines apartment-style space with easy access to First Bay, Point Perry and the local dining precinct.
