North Shore Oceanside Kawana
$100-175/ nat
Bestil hvis You need a modern, self-contained base near the Sunshine Coast University Hospital or Stadium and don't care about a pool.
Hvorfor folk elsker det
- Walking distance to Sunshine Coast Stadium & Hospital
- Free, secure underground parking (a rarity)
- Spacious apartments with full kitchens and balconies
Hurtig oversigt: A functional, hospital-adjacent sleepover that feels more like a modern residential block than a holiday resort.
Anmeldt af @Jer1369: I stayed here for a weekend reset and honestly, pulling back those curtains to see the water was the highlight. The apartment is super modern and having breakfast on that huge balcony made the trip. Perfect spot if you want a quiet, easy family getaway.

Reality check
The 'Oceanside' name is a stretch—you are 2.4km from the actual surf at Bokarina Beach, not beachfront.
- You are attending an event at Sunshine Coast Stadium
- You have appointments at the University Hospital
- You want a full kitchen to cook your own meals

Ofte stillede spørgsmål og skjulte tips
Alt hvad du gerne vil vide før du booker.
Is there a pool?
No. There is no pool on the property. The nearest public aquatic center is the Kawana Aquatic Centre nearby.
How far is the beach?
It is not beachfront. Bokarina Beach is about a 2.4km (30-minute) walk or a quick 5-minute drive.
Is parking free?
Yes, one allocated secure underground parking spot is included for free with most bookings.
Can I check in late?
Only if you arrange it 48 hours in advance. Reception closes at 5pm, and you'll need a code for the lockbox.
Do rooms have kitchens?
Studios have kitchenettes (microwave, kettle, toaster); One and Two-Bedroom Apartments have full kitchens with stovetops and dishwashers.
Is there a gym?
No on-site gym, but the hotel is located on the Lake Kawana walking loop, popular for running and cycling.
Insidertips
- ✨
The 'Waterline' building is part of the same complex but often has better lake views than the main 'North Shore' block.
- ✨
Walk to 'Decisions Cafe' for breakfast; it's a local favorite for both healthy and cheat meals.
- ✨
Use the free allocated parking; street parking in this hospital precinct is a nightmare.
