For a fun fill family weekend away Twin Waters in Queensland is a great Choice

One of the small suburbs of Queensland, Twin Waters, boasts a location good for nature explorers. Maroochy River Conservation Park rests virtually within your backyard. For visitors, this will be the backyard of your hotel. More than this, Maroochy River is considered the halfway point along the Sunshine Coast.

One really important reason for the existence of this park is its critical role in protecting nesting and migrating birds. One species, the wedge-tailed shearwater, finds peace and safety here. Gliding squirrels, possum, echidnas, kangaroos and wallabies may also appear in your peripheral vision. Be quiet and slow when turning to get a better view: you could look one in the eye.

The water draws lovers of aquatic sports to this area. Fishing and swimming are popular activities. Around these waters, surfers and divers also enjoy a relaxing place to practice their hobbies and spot vivid underwater life.

Though small, your destination is just two kilometers from many larger places to visit, placing guests at a great central location for stops north, south and west. Stop at Mudjimba Beach just two-three kilometers north. Take in shopping malls and coffee shops even closer to your resting spot.

Twin Waters accommodation hopes to make guests feel welcome whether they belong to a party of two or a whole crowd of family with youngsters. Caravan parks offer economical ways to stay. Hotels and retreats add elegance and luxury to the holiday.

Twin Waters Resort offers guests many amenities. Send kids to circus school where they will learn the ins and outs of their future career perhaps. Two-wheel segway riding has become popular: try some at the resort. For parents, there is always golf or a massage. Two resort restaurants serve meals for morning, afternoon and evening clientele. Alternatively, enjoy a coffee or glass of wine at their cafe and bar respectively. Coffee shops enjoy a strong presence near your lodging.

Coffee shops are prominent in this region where it seems clear: Queenslanders like their java. Restaurants within a few kilometers include at least two Italian offerings. Australian cuisine is also available.

Strike out by car to explore the area. Points of interest include more conservation such as Mooloolah River Park, about five miles south. Australia Zoo rests a bit further inland but only a short drive away. Take this opportunity to meet a few of the crocodiles Steve Irwin made so famous, maybe even watch a feeding session there. Easily board connecting flights between points in Australia via Sunshine Coast Airport, a very short drive north from your Twin Waters hotel.

The Sunshine Coast offers ample opportunity to browse shops, wineries, take an adventure tour or just lay back with a picnic on the beach and catch some rays. Book a dolphin or whale watching tour to get a sense of why this region is so environmentally important. Take to three wheels with a trike tour, try scuba diving, fishing or bush walking. Head out for big city life so you can really appreciate the serenity of Twin Waters. A train ride will take guests to Brisbane, a journey which takes about an hour.
