I went to Sunshine Coast in February and the weather may have not been amazing but Stacy was the highlight of the whole trip. I’ve been traveling the world for 6 months and have been hard pressed to find service better than hers. The location itself was amazing and the room was perfect, it had its own hot tub, outstanding master bedroom with tub and along the entire “apartment” was a private patio area that made the room secluded from everyone else. Walkable to tons of good restaurants and activities. When it was finally time for us to leave this wonderful stay we had a late flight and with our checkout being earlier we didn’t know what we were going to do; Stacy brought us downstairs behind the front desk into their private theater and allowed us to watch movies to kill time while we waited. 10/10 hospitality and would recommend this stay to anyone looking to come to the area. Stacy will take care of you! - via TripAdvisor

I just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone at Oceans Mooloolaba. Stacy was wonderful in helping me lock in the booking and arrange transport from the airport. All of our rooms were perfect, and I will be highly recommending Oceans to anyone looking for an amazing holiday experience. Thank you also to Stacy for her list of venues and restaurants — we loved the Thai restaurant she recommended, but it's hard to go past See Restaurant at the Wharf. I very much doubt I will ever order snapper from anywhere else, as the quality at See was unbelievable! Thanks again from me and all of my friends, who thoroughly enjoyed our stay. - Justine

We just wrapped up a wonderful 2-night stay at Oceans Mooloolaba and honestly couldn’t be more impressed. From the moment we arrived, the staff were warm, friendly, and genuinely helpful — exactly the kind of welcome you hope for on a holiday. We stayed in a 2-bedroom apartment on the 6th floor, and the space was absolutely stunning. Immaculately clean, beautifully presented, and incredibly comfortable — it felt more like a luxury home than a hotel room. But the showstopper? The views. Waking up to sweeping panoramas of the beach and the Pacific Ocean was something we’ll never forget. The amenities were excellent across the board, and the location in Mooloolaba puts you right in the heart of one of the Sunshine Coast’s most beloved beachside villages — shops, restaurants, and the beautiful esplanade all within easy reach. If you’re looking for a relaxed, high-quality stay on the Sunshine Coast, Oceans Mooloolaba is the real deal. We’ll absolutely be back! - Maria

Thank you again for a wonderful stay at Oceans particularly the very friendly staff at reception and support staff who made our rooms lovely every time we went out in the morning and came back.  We particularly loved the  interactions with the staff. We had a perfect holiday and this was particularly based on location, facilities available to us and the staff. Thank you again! - Jill

We had a short family trip to the Sunshine Coast and stayed at Oceans Mooloolaba. The accommodations were excellent and in a great location with easy access to the beach, shops & restaurants. We would definitely recommend! - Eric

Thank you for having us as guests for the last few days.  We have been to Oceans once before and it was a pleasure to come back.  All the staff that we encountered during our stay were so polite and friendly, all with a welcoming smile.  The accommodation was fabulously clean and well presented and of course your location is second to none.  Thank you again and we look forward to coming back soon! - Liam

We had a lovely stay, the apartment was very clean and had everything we needed for our short stay. Reception staff very friendly and helpful. The overall cleanliness of the building was very good, pool was an added bonus. We hope to stay with you again, thank you. - David

Once again we had a great stay at Oceans Mooloolaba.  We visit the Sunshine Coast very regularly and Oceans is without doubt one of the best properties on the coast and in particular in Mooloolaba.  The accommodations are modern, well appointed and clean.  All of the staff at Oceans are incredibly helpful and friendly and unlike many holiday apartments, Oceans has a front desk staffed daily from morning to evening, with wonderful team members always available to assist. - Sue - Tripadvisor

What a lovely, lovely place this is. We stayed four nights and it just got better and better. You appreciate the apartment, the amenities, the location and outlook more and more. The quality of the furnishings and fit out is first class and very comfortable. There are many nice thoughtful touches put into it. The wireless controller for the TV and sound system was great, as were the selected DVDs and games in the room. There’s really nothing to critique; not only is it lovely, it’s very relaxing and becomes very liveable right away, The view to the beach and water is great as is the pool. And the location on the esplanade is convenient but not noisy at all. We will definitely return. - Tripadvisor

We absolutely loved our stay at Oceans! 10/10 location to the beach, main street and local supermarket. Each room has a balcony that overlooks the ocean, it’s so beautiful to wake up to! The room was clean and fully equipped with modern facilities. The staff were so lovely and welcoming, nothing was too hard, they made the effort to have our room ready a bit earlier and gave us a late checkout to align with our flights. The pool area was so great for our toddler, with a smaller shallow pool for him to play in alongside the main pool and spa. The pool has full sun for the whole day, which is another bonus! We will definitely be back. - Rachel C (Tripadvisor)

We’ve stayed in many locations on the Sunny Coast over the past twenty years and this place was by far the best. The location, beautiful open unit, technology, comfortable bedding, cleanliness and service far exceeded our expectations. Thank you to the beautiful receptionist who was so helpful, friendly and kind to us and ensured our stay was perfect. It was the perfect place for us to come together at a very sad time in our lives. I don’t think I could stay anywhere else in Mooloolaba now after coming here. We truly felt like we were at home, especially with our own private bbq and access to the beautiful spa and pool. Thank you for making this a memorable occasion! - Kellie - Tripadvisor

The apartment was exceptionally clean and had an amazing view. everything was in working order and the bed very comfortable. it was lovely that the rooms were made up daily. parking easy and free of charge. location can’t be beaten. receptionists were so friendly and obliging. - Lisa - Booking.com

Location was exceptional. Room was clean and modern. Availability of restaurants and shopping was perfect. Attractions close by was also handy. Staff were very accommodating especially when we requested another nights stay. - Laurie - Booking.com

I rang to arrange a surprise for my friend who was staying for her birthday weekend and the team at the front desk were so accommodating and went above and beyond to customise a hamper and have it in her room ready for her arrival. Their efforts were so appreciated! - Alex - Google

Fantastic facilities......even managed to photograph Whales while sitting outside on the balcony. Nice! - Andrew - Google
