Beautiful home with a spectacular view of the water. The kitchen had every utensil and appliance we needed, which was a huge plus. Highly recommend for families looking for a relaxing stay!
The home was perfect for our family of 8, with two living areas including a lovely open plan kitchen area. The views over the lake are beatiful, with access to local amenities within minutes.
Excellent location for what we needed and the aspect at the back of the house over the canals was incredibly relaxing. Excellent comfortable furniture both inside and outdoors.
Perfect location. The house is amazing and had everything that a family needed from baby goods and toys to board games. What an incredible experience staying here and we will definitely come back to visit ,
A great holiday house for two families, has everything that you might need. We loved the pool and how close it was to a supermarket and playground. Lots of space for 8 people, so we didn’t feel on top of each other. The main bedroom is lovely as it looks over the pool. Alicia was really responsive and great to deal with. Thanks!
We had an aweomse weekend away, this place had everything, just bring yourselves, pub was close walk and excellent food, is definately on my list to go back again, thank you.
We have had a lovely two week stay - the location on the edge of the lake, proximity to so many Sunshine Coast attractions, well equipped kitchen, spacious pool, and multiple bedrooms and living areas meant that we were able to really relax and enjoy ourselves. We would definitely stay again!
We really enjoyed our stay. The pool was great and the kitchen is very well equipped. Loved the recliners in the lounge room as well. Would happily return.
So close to everything you need for a family holiday. Quiet location, easy walk to tavern, aldi, cafe, playground. Pool was a hit with the kids they were not bored once. Spacious and relaxing and small kid friendly. Thank you for having us
Stayed here before and will stay again when at the Sunny Coast next in the future!
Has everything you need for a short stay
Great location, plenty of space when staying with a group 😊 love it!

Excellent property on Brightwater Lake. We had 4 adults and three children stay and there was plenty of space. The amenities were great and the kids loved the pool. The location was excellent. Highly recommend.
Such a great location for a holiday house, beautiful facilities. It was so hard to leave such a beautiful place. Had toys to keep the kids entertained such a easy place to stay with kids
The property was lovely, clean and well appointed on a nice quiet estate that was perfect for our family vacation. The owner was friendly and very responsive to our questions. Thank you for a lovely stay!
The location of Panama Rivera is about a 10 to 15 minute drive to all the major attractions within the Mooloolaba/Maroochydore area, including the beach, Sea Life Aquarium, Aussie World, Amaze World, Sunshine Plaza etc, Mini Golf and more. The area is quiet, backing onto the lake within the Brightwater estate.There were a few items that need attention, such as the overall cleanliness of the property, and some maintenance that was required, these were brought to the attention of the property manager.Overall, we had a great stay and the house accommodated to all our needs. We would definitely stay here again.
This property was just way the doctor ordered for our family holiday. Two parents and two adult kids with their spouses. Plenty of room and such a peaceful location even during school holidays.

Great designed house with a beautiful pool. Nice outdoor furniture. We did have a nice stay as it was well equiped with cooking appliances and utensils. Many games and movies to choose from too which was appreciated. However, standard of cleanliness was very poor. Bugs dust and dirt around windows and in corners. kitchen felt greasy Lawns not mowed, gardens need weeding.Stains on lounges and mats were a bit grotty. Also found several pairs of dirty underpants found under the bed which was quite gross . Needs a bit of care and attention and a thorough clean, especially for the price.
Alicia home was the perfect house for our family to have Easter together. Her home has all that is needed, spacious and very clean. Even though the beach is only 12 minutes away, we spent most of our time outside by the pool, chatting and playing games. We highly recommend her home for a family holiday.
