No party block, no resort tour desk, no corridor noise at 1am. A privately owned apartment in a quiet Bulcock Street building with permanent residents - and a rooftop spa and sauna that are usually empty on a weekday evening.
A weekend that does not need a car
Coffee on Bulcock Street in the morning, the coastal walk to Kings Beach and Moffat Head before it gets warm, an afternoon on the rooftop, then dinner within a five-minute walk. The Pumicestone Passage boardwalk faces west, so sunset happens directly in front of you.
If you do want to drive: the Glass House Mountains, Maleny and Montville are under an hour, and the hinterland cellar doors and long-lunch places are the standard Sunday.
The rooftop
Shared Level 12 heated pool, spa, sauna, gym and BBQ, with Passage, ocean and Glass House Mountains views. Midweek it is generally quiet, which is the entire point of coming outside school holidays.
