“What stands out here is the dedication to pets; most places say they're pet-friendly, but this feels truly designed for animals and their owners. I especially appreciate the waterfront houses, each with its own private pool, and the location a short drive from Mooloolaba's dining scene. The possibility of leaving your pet in good hands for a while is a big advantage.”
