Great stay at Sand Dunes Resort. The kids loved it and the pool was amazing. Facilities were excellent and the room had everything we needed. Our air-conditioning broke, but the staff were fantastic — they brought in two portable AC units straight away and heavily discounted our stay. Really impressed with the service. Would definitely stay again.

Excellent for the price. Ground floor was perfect for my elderly parents Every plate and cup had a chip in it which was a little disappointing and there was the expected Sunshine Coast mould on the back of the curtains but but the pool so so nice a touch warmer for those of us that are used to heated pools would also have been nice but fabulous once in

We had a wonderful stay in a spacious four bedroom house with a private pool, roof top spa and much more. House number 1 has it all for those that want to be near the beach and accommodating up to 10 guests and want a relaxing break. Please note for those that struggle with mobility to go up and down stairs this may not be for you but having found out since the staff were more than happy to accommodate my elderly mum with a fold out bed option down stairs in the lounge area. The staff are welcoming and friendly along with offering extra assistance if needed. Restaurants and Coles are within a short drive away and the beach is only a two minute walk. I would hight recommend sand dune resort for a long or short stay get away and look forward to our next stay.
