The icons of the Sunshine Coast tourist scene continue to attract tourists from around the world. When we talk about icons, we are talking about those attractions that have stood the test of time and their power to attract tourists has gone on unabated over a long period of time. Some of these places include Noosa with its chic reputation and great beach, Australia Zoo, Mooloolaba and its oceanfront resort precinct and the golfing resorts at Coolum and Marcoola.

Let’s talk about golf first. Both the Novotel twin waters resort and the Hyatt Coolum resort have sensational golf courses that are home to nationally recognised tournaments. The courses are both fantastic and can be played by anyone from beginner level right trough to the professional ranks. Both resorts provide fantastic places to stay and all the other accouterments you would expect from a top of the line resort. They have great restaurants activities and excellent swimming pools. They are both only a short drive from either Noosa, Maroochydore or Mooloolaba and the Sunshine Coast airport is almost next door.
