We liked the dog friendliness and that we could leave our little mate in the courtyard while we walked to the Surf Club for dinner. Very generous servings there.

Stay at Kawana Wsters
We had a lovely time staying at Kawana Waters. The unit was spotless when we arrived and had everything there that we needed. The yard was a sun trap and so comfortable to sit and relax. It was so close to the shopping centre as well as the beach and the walking paths. We cycled Donny Dicky Beach and went board and played golf at Maleny. Would definitely recommend staying at the unit again. Thank you
