We loved the proximity to the Kawana Shopping Centre (4 mins walk), the food was excellent in the restaurant on the premises, and staff were very helpful and friendly, esp the waitress who served us - she used her initiative and brought an extra dessert spoon so my hubby n I could share one dessert :-). Something to be said for the more mature staff members here!!!

A nice, modern hotel within a few minutes to the beach and Mooloolaba shopping/dining precinct. We stayed in a 1 bed apartment which was spacious, well appointed and very comfortable. A user friendly Tv/entertainment setup was great. The room was also very quiet. We would definitely stay again and recommend to others. The only thing that would be preferable would be a larger pool, but that encourages you to walk across the road and use the beach!

Great modern hotel in an excellent Mooloolaba location, just one block back from the esplanade and beach. There are fantastic views across the beach, marina and canals from many rooms, and the rooftop pool, restaurant and bar are a real highlight.
The only downside is that the pool deck and gym are both quite small for such a large hotel. The pool area can become crowded during busy periods, while the gym feels cramped with only a few people using it. A larger gym with windows and views would...

The Penthouse was a very well appointed and laid out apartment. Ensuite off the bedroom + second toilet. Upstairs was a private rooftop retreat / BBQ area with views over Mooloolaba Marina. It also included a Washer and dryer in the bathroom, vacuum cleaner, air con, ceiling fans, and balcony. Overall a very comfortable apartment. There are 3 flights of stairs to climb - no lift. Each apartment has a garage. Shops are a few mins walk away.

Our family had a great time at First Light, Mooloolaba! The hotel itself is very clean and modern. We were greeted by a friendly person at the counter. Highly recommend!
Only minor issue was the size of the car park. We were in a single park against the lift and it was difficult to get in and out of our car. Didn’t put a damper on the holiday though!

We recently made a last minute decision to getaway to the Sunshine Coast for a few nights and booked the hotel through a Wotif.com. On arrival, the staff were lovely. Our room was beautiful and clean (which is extremely important to me as I'm a Germ-o-phobe!). Beds were extremely comfy, with high quality bedding and pillows. All amenities were in good condition and clean. Lagoon pool is lovely (there's a couple of friendly resident scrub turkeys and ducks that wander the grounds) and kids liked...

Couldn't have been happier. This was a last minute decision to stay the night and I was a little apprehensive because it was the only place of reasonable price left that had any vacancy. It was dated but extremely clean, plenty of room, close to the river. I would definitely stay here again.
