Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    We last visited Sunshine Plaza pre the latest renovations and it is now so much better. All the major retailers in the one location with David Jones, Myers, Big W, Kmart and Target all the under the one roof. Lots of specialty stores all under the one roof. Plenty of good choices after a bit of shopping. Will visit again next time when on the Sunshine Coast.

    Have been visiting the Sunshine Coast since a child and have not ever visited this little island until yesterday! Great spot for picnics, swimming (no surf), SUP, kayak, jumping off the bridge and generally relaxing. Plenty of trees for shade.
    We also walked around the island (as much as possible due to the tide).
    Dog friendly (on leash). Will be recommending it for some international guests arriving in April.
    It does need more toilets as when we were there only one was available (due to a missing door one one and faulty latch on another).

    A nice little market for a stroll, lots of different eateries and you can sit down at a restaurant also. There are also a few other stalls but quite small

    Wonderful park for all age groups. Walkways, massive play areas for kids, lots of green space to run, sit and play. Also has plenty of tables, seats and bbq's. all right along side the river

    Lovely little craft market every Sunday morning at Cotton Tree. Safety first as the street is closed and used for the stalls. Coffee shops, butcher and all the other shops surrounding this market. Close to the caravan park if you are looking for a landmark close by.

    Lovely park area with plenty of picnic tables and shelters, kids playground and war memorial. Right next to Mudjimba beach with views across to Mudjimba (Old Woman) Island. Plenty of car parking and modern, clean toilet block. Various cafes and holiday accommodation across the road. Next to Power Memorial Park and Mudjimba Surf Life Saving Club.

    I went there on the recommendation of a friend and to follow up on a golf lesson I had recently. The Trackmaster system they use here is excellent to tell you all about your golf swing and why the ball doesn't go where you want it to. The Pro, just wandering around looking to dish out advice is an unexpected bonus and Josh is super helpful.
    I'll be back....
