Plenty of Caloundra holiday units have a pool. Few have one on Level 12, heated, next to a spa and a sauna, looking straight over the Pumicestone Passage to Bribie Island and the Glass House Mountains. It is the part of the stay guests mention most in their reviews.
What is on the rooftop
The building shares one rooftop level with a heated pool, a spa, a sauna, a gym and a BBQ area with seating. It faces west over the Passage, so the late afternoon is the time to be up there: a swim, the spa, then the sunset over the water and the mountains.
Because it is a residential building rather than a resort, the rooftop is usually calm. Midweek outside school holidays it is often close to empty.
- Heated pool, spa and sauna on Level 12
- Gym with the same view
- BBQ area with seating for a sunset dinner
- Lift straight up from the apartment
A pool and a beach, both on foot
The rooftop is the treat, the beaches are the everyday. Bulcock Beach and its calm Passage water are a two-minute walk downhill, and Kings Beach with its free ocean pool is about eight minutes along the coastal path. Most guests split the day between the two.
