Franco's name comes up again and again, and that tells you something about how this place runs. A stone's throw from the beach on David Low Way, the Coolum Beach Hotel punches well above the average pub bistro. The seafood tower for two draws consistent praise for freshness and value, the kitchen turns tables fast without cutting corners, and the seniors' menu makes it genuinely multigenerational. The air-conditioned bar is a reliable refuge on a hot Sunshine Coast afternoon. New management has sharpened the service without losing the easy neighbourhood feel. If you're booking a group, ask for Vicki. She'll have it sorted before you've finished the call.
This amazing pub located in the heart of Coolum is somewhere you could spend every one of you Friday nights. Great atmosphere great employees great food. This is the best pub experience I’ve ever been to. Shout out to franko for his hosting really kind.
I travel to QLD each year in summer and always jump in to the Coolum Beach Hotel as our favourite spot. Great to see it now under new management, a guy named Dion I think his name was who was absolutely awesome. Great new vibe as he is very personable and has brought a real personalised touch to the service. Love this pub. Best place in QLD. Guy on the BBQ on Super Bowl day was great too. Didn’t get his name. Good food and plenty of places to sit and enjoy. Even better than it was. Good to see a place committed to improving.
Absolutely fantastic place for a good pub feed! Franco in particular provided amazing customer service, the food was delicious and for 8 dishes it was only around a 10 minute wait time!! We will 100% be back for another great meal! And a huge shout out to the behind the scenes team (kitchen staff, cleaners) that make this possible! You guys rock !!

Noosa Heads QLD
A resort dining room with a loyal local following, sitting between Noosa National Park and Lake Weyba. Staff like Damian and Carla at breakfast keep regulars returning year after year. Worth the three-kilometre detour from Hastings Street, especially if you're pairing lunch with a round of golf.

Noosa Heads QLD
Easy to write off as a tourist stop on Hastings Street, harder to argue with once the seafood spaghetti arrives. The beach-facing verandah over Laguna Bay is the draw, but the Caesar salad with prawns and the notably good fish and chips are reasons to return.

Autumn in Noosa is genuinely good for families. The water stays warm, the crowds thin, and the flat riverfront paths are pushchair-friendly for kilometres. From calm swimming spots and kid-friendly cafes to holiday parks a ferry ride from the tourist strip, here is the local edit on where to take the kids and how to keep everyone fed.
Every tourist town has two maps. The brochure version and the one locals keep to themselves. Noosa's second map runs through Noosaville backstreets, steep coastal staircases, and a Sunrise Beach café that has no interest in being discovered. Here is where to find it.
Noosa is one of the few places in Australia where bringing your dog doesn't feel like an apology. Off-leash beach windows, outdoor cafes with water bowls, and accommodation that genuinely means it. Here is the practical guide: which beaches, what times, where to eat, and where to stay with a dog in tow.
Noosa is a good base. The region around it is better than most visitors realise. From the Eumundi Markets and the quiet farming towns of the hinterland to the 4WD beaches of Great Sandy National Park and the easy summit walk at Coolum Beach, here are the day trips worth planning, with the coffee and dinner bookends to match.
A gorgeous family meal! We had drinks in the lovely air con bar first then we were seated by Franco....what a delight! He informed us of all the specials and made sure we were looked after! Caity served us and was so lovely. We had the seafood Tower for 2 and it was really great value for money and super fresh. We'll definitely be back!
Our club recently enjoyed our birthday celebration lunch at the hotel. All our members had a great time. The service was excellent, and the meals were delicious with a great choice on the senior's menu. We dealt with Vicki for our booking, and she was an a absolute pleasure to deal with. She is always reliable, organised, and comes through with everything she said she would do. Her professionalism keeps us coming back year after year.
Doonan
A working coffee roastery with a cafe attached, tucked into the Doonan hinterland. The zucchini bread earns repeat visits, the hollandaise is made from scratch, and the outdoor tables fill fast on Saturdays. Dog-friendly. Worth the detour.
