The Sunshine Coast of Queensland pretty much takes the cake when it comes to pet-friendly holidays. From exploring gorgeous leash-free beaches, enjoying coastal walks and soaking up the sun and cafe culture, this area will keep you and your fur-babies relaxed, tanned and loving life. Here’s our top five favourite accommodation options on the Sunshine Coast.

Noosa Holiday House

If you’re looking for a relaxed and luxurious family holiday, Noosa Holiday House provides everything you need in spades and overlooks Noosa’s best kept secret, the beautiful Castaways Beach. This three level home boasts a master bedroom with king size bed, en suite and walk in wardrobe, spacious private balcony, open plan gourmet kitchen, large living areas and 3 additional bedrooms, all with TVs.

It’s the perfect place to nod off to the sounds of the surf on a lazy afternoon, or to entertain in style with the alfresco dining and BBQ area and solar heated pool. You’ll even be gifted a complimentary bottle of sparkling Australia wine to help you kick of your holiday experience!

Less than a minute’s walk from a leash-free beach and a seven minute drive from Hastings St, Noosa Holiday House is close to a great range of boutiques, restaurants and cafes in Sunshine Beach and Peregian Beach. With plenty of room to store surfboards and bicycles, you’ll be able to soak up the surrounds of the local area, with your pooch close behind you. And don’t worry about your dog taking half the beach back with you, because they can enjoy a dog-washing bay outside, alongside a warm outdoor shower for you. With a fully fenced backyard, there’s plenty of space for them to play.

Point Lookout Coolum Beach

This gorgeous rental provides stunning panoramic sea views across Coolum Beach, which are particularly enthralling during whale migration season. Enjoy these views from your deck, perched amongst the trees. Suitable for dual living, this three bedroom holiday accommodation is set on two levels – the first has its own bedroom, bathroom, kitchenette and private deck, while the second offers two bedrooms, bathroom, furnished lounge and deck. You’ll love the tasteful furnishings and elegant paintings collected on the owner’s travels through the Middle East and Asia. Foxtel is available, alongside books, movies and boardgames, pay-as-you-go internet, air-conditioning and even a heated spa.
You can rest assured the property has a secure fenced area particularly suitable for a small/medium sized dog. There’s plenty of leash-free parks and dog friendly, leash-free and patrolled surf beaches. Go exploring to find surf clubs, skate park and children’s playground and sensational cliff-top walks the whole family can enjoy.

The African Cottages

Add an international flavour to your Sunshine Coast getaway, with a stay in the African Cottages. With three different cottages available for rent, you can choose from the African cottage (3 bedrooms, sleeps 9), the Rondawel (2 bedrooms, sleeps 6) and the intimate Cape Cottage (sleeps 2). All cottages are self-contained with private BBQ area, spacious and have distinct African themes in their decor. Set amongst fragrant gardens, lawns and a 500 year old fig tree, your family and pets can truly unwind together. Pets are more than welcome inside, while there is still plenty of space for them to roam outside. Guests can also order authentic and delicious meals from the in-house service. You can also treat yourself with soothing aromatherapy massages in the comfort of their cottages. 

Close to the charming villages of Maleny and Montville with its many shops, cafes, restaurants and art galleries, you’ll find plentiful opportunities to enjoy the local area, while still feeling somewhat secluded and at peace away from the hustle and bustle of city living. A thirty minute drive to the beach and 15 minute drive to Australia Zoo means you are well placed to enjoy family activities. If you are feeling like getting into nature, there are numerous rainforest walks to enjoy and watering holes to explore.
