Sunshine Coast - Pelican Waters Resort

Our northernmost stop on our Roadtrip is the Sunshine Coast. Here we spent 3 nights at the Pelican Waters Resort.

We checked out from our hotel in Brisbane and after a free of charge breakfast (thanks to bad wifi connection in our room and generous service staff!) we head on the road for a mere 1,5h drive to Pelican Waters Resort which is part of Sunshine Coast.

As we learned the “Sunshine Coast” isn’t a city but a peri-urban region (aka district) contained in the Shires of Landsborough, Maroochy and Noosa. It is located 100 km north of Brisbane in South East Queensland, on the Coral Sea coastline.

We are with 26° South now closer to the Equator than e.g. Egypt’s capital Cairo (30° North). And after already having felt the suns intensity the hard way we now definitely stick to sunscreen 🧴.

Our resort is absolutely gorgeous with a mixture of tourist and long term residents. We have a massive pool, a gym, a BBQ area, Tennis courts, an Arcade Game Room incl Table Football (Soccer!) and a Sports Bar. It’s a little bit like a cruise ship on land with a golf course next door (currently under maintenance). We love the change of scene, the spacious apartment and the option to cook if we feel like it.Read more
