Why it's worth checking out
Pelican Waters Resort offers a range of accommodation in Kawana Waters, on the Sunshine Coast, from studios through to self-contained three-bedroom apartments. That gives couples, families, groups of friends and business travellers several space options, whether they are planning a holiday or a work-related stay. The resort is also within a few minutes’ drive of Caloundra’s beaches, making it a practical base for exploring the coast while keeping plenty of facilities on site.
The setting is one of the resort’s main features. Guests can look towards the heritage-listed Glasshouse Mountains and the Greg Norman-designed Pelican Waters Golf Course, with the property described as a quiet, sophisticated and relaxed place to stay. The facilities are designed for a range of visits, including a lagoon-style swimming pool, a lap pool, a tennis court and a gymnasium. Free secure parking and guest Wi-Fi are also provided.
For food and drinks, Pelican Waters Resort has an in-house restaurant, sports bar and cafe, with the bistro, bar and cafe open for breakfast, lunch and dinner according to the website. The resort also has meeting and event facilities, so it can suit business travellers and groups as well as leisure guests. The combination of apartment accommodation, dining and recreation areas means visitors can spend more of their stay within the resort if they prefer a quieter schedule.
The people behind Pelican Waters Resort describe their connection to the Sunshine Coast as beginning with a family visit to watch a horse race at Corbould Park. They say they fell in love with the area, its lifestyle and its people before taking on the resort, with a focus on creating a welcoming experience from arrival through to departure. That family connection adds a personal element to the property’s relaxed approach. For visitors seeking a stay with flexible accommodation, resort facilities and access to the Caloundra area, it is suited to couples, families, groups and business guests.
