Seaview Resort Sunshine Coast Reviews

October 10th, 2011

We LOVE it when guest have a fantastic holiday with us at the Seaview Resort in Mooloolaba – This is our latest Trip Advisor Review.

“Highly Recommended – one of the best”

Stayed at Seaview in September 2011. Of course the location is fantastic and the apartment and facilities matched the sales pitch. So all good there.
What was also noticeable was how professionally well run the facility is. Everything is in great condition, totally organised and the managers friendly and pro-active.
I would 100% stay there again.

Whale Watching on the Whale One – Mooloolaba

August 13th, 2011

After 4 years in the country we finally decided to book ourselves onto a whale watching cruise. We cruised out to the Whale Highway on the Whale One, which runs up the East Coast. From there we managed to see three pods of  whales, and got within 100m of two of them. I think they where putting a show on for the boat as one whale came right out the sea and broach with a huge splash as 40 tons of whale hit the water. These amazing creatures are breathtaking to see close up.

Whale Watching on the Whale One

During the day we where also  served a nice buffet lunch and the bar was open all day. This is great day out for families and couples.
