Great Location to all the amenities that Mooloolaba had to offer. Only a five minute walk to the beach and the wharf precinct. We will be back again.

We had two little people with us, the pool was brilliant for them to swim, and the beach was also within walking distance.
The managers couldn't have been more helpful, even when our car had a flat battery the morning we were due to leave.

Dockside was great. Apartment was lovely. Very clean & everything you needed. Pool was good too. Not far to Mooloolaba beach & shops. Will be back to Dockside. 🐾
Nice and comfortable. Good complex. Each unit in the complex is individually owned and furnished so the few specific problems we had would not apply to all. Good location short walk to everything.
The apartment was clean, adequate, aged, devoid of minor condiments (salt & pepper, and any others) and other small comforts generally expected.
The stairs were a serious minus for a disabled, as was the entrance.
Over-all our stay was acceptable,( far more acceptable for a younger couple), and was priced accordingly.

It had almost everything we needed especially in the kitchen. Nice BBQ and pool area just outside the back of the apartment. We had a front and back patio/garden that was a surprise.
Most shops and restaurants only one block away or literally across the road so very convenient . Beach only 5-10 minutes brisk walk away
We'll definitely be staying again at Dockside next time we visit the Sunshine coast.

Comfortable & spacious
The unit was comfortable, spacious & bright. The balcony was very private with lots of greenery around. Our unit
was tastefully decorated with a newly renovated bathroom. The pool was lovely to flap around in, perfect temperature.
Located close to, but far enough away from the humdrum of the main shopping precinct. Walk to everything you need, wharf, beach, restaurants, cafes & surf club. This one is a gem, so don’t miss out.
Managers Michelle & Paul were very helpful with checkin & suggestions. And their resident cat was great to pat & get your cat fix.
Definitely will revisit next time we are visiting the Sunshine Coast. Cheers.

Lovely stay at Dockside Mooloolaba
We just spent five nights at Dockside. The apartment was very comfortable and clean with full size oven and cooktop and very roomy. On-site manager Paul was very welcoming and helpful. The only downside (which was my fault for not enquiring) was the shower over the bath. I'm getting too old for that! Easy walking distance to all restaurants and the beach. Highly recommended staying at Dockside.

We loved it here
We were so pleasantly surprised by the location and the condition of the entire complex. The apartment itself was freshly updated and so very comfortable! It has everything you could possibly need! Being set back a couple of blocks from the esplanade meant you didn’t have any noise and were a shot walk to the wharf as well as the beach.
