Caloundra, located on the Sunshine Coast of Queensland, Australia, is a popular tourist spot for its beautiful beaches and mountains. Here are some accommodation options and Caloundra Hotels.

Vardon Point Resort Apartments

Vardon Point Resort Apartments is found just outside the main beach resort area of Sunshine Coast. The apartments are part the emerging trend of self-catered apartments that are beginning to become popular among visitors to Australia. This practice has been in place for some time among the locals, so the best way to experience Australia is to follow what they do. Here at Vardon Point, there is balance between the two extremes – while meals are not provided, facilities are good and complete. Enjoy the spas and pools that the hotel provides for their guests, or play a game or two of tennis. The view of the room opens to a majestic view of the bay, so be sure to stand before the full length windows of your hotel apartment and take it all in. Do remember, though, that meals are not available here, so stopover on the way and pick up some groceries for cooking. Rooms here begin at about US$150 a night.

Rydges Oasis Resort

The Rydges Oasis Resort is a large, 184-room establishment that can be found en route from Brisbane to Caloundra. The location of the place may not seem ideal to beach lovers, but it can be a good place to stay. Given that it is not located smack in the middle of the action of the Sunshine Coast, the Resort is a perfect place to truly get away. This applies more so for visitors with families – each of these rooms is family-friendly, providing additional beds at a low cost if necessary. The beach is not that far away from the hotel either. Do be sure to request for a room with a beach view, as the sights from the room can be spectacular. Rooms start at about US$120.

Waterford Prestige Apartments

Fast becoming one of the most popular hotels in Caloundra, Waterford Prestige comes very highly recommended by travel guides, visitors to the area and the locals. Boasting of fully-equipped apartments with television sets, dining areas and comfortable bedrooms, the apartments are good for those with families or couples looking to enjoy a family-styled house on the Sunshine Coast. Enjoy the facilities of the hotel – a spa, lounges and barbeque pits. But the best part of the hotel remains to be the view from the room. On one side of the hotel, the beautiful Bribie Island and its bay and beaches unfold before your eyes. The other faces the majestic Glasshouse Mountains and its surrounding hinterland. Rooms here begin at about US$120.
