We checked in to the Sunshine Coast’s newest luxury stay and, safe to say, it earned its coveted magazine cover spot ☀️

From sweeping ocean views and sun-drenched terraces to earthy interiors that feel unmistakably Queensland, Avani Mooloolaba Beach Hotel is already making waves.

As the first internationally branded full-service hotel to open on the Sunshine Coast in more than four decades, this one feels like a major moment for the region and we got a first-hand look inside for our latest QHA Review 📖✨

QLD Day is nearly here, legends 🍻🌴

On Saturday 6 June, pubs and hotels across the state are encouraged to throw on a proper Queensland-style celebration; barbecues, trivia, live tunes, mud crab races or even Queensland teams on the TV.

It’s all about getting the community together and celebrating the best state in the country.

Got something planned? Make sure you register your Queensland Day event on the official website.

Because nobody knows how to celebrate quite like a Queenslander.
