Sun, Sleep, Save, Repeat at Novotel Sunshine Coast Resort
Dropping temperatures? More like dropping stress levels, prices and any reason to stay home this winter. Ida Fink Gundtoft explores why winter is the new summer at Novotel Sunshine Coast Resort.
It might be mid-winter, but we’re already dreaming of long poolside days, tropical cocktails and twinkling fairy lights over a beachside Christmas dinner. And let’s be honest – when it comes to chasing the sun, there’s nowhere quite like Novotel Sunshine Coast Resort.
Perched between the sparkling waters of Maroochy River and the golden stretch of Mudjimba Beach, this lush, laidback haven proves you don’t need to wait for summer to escape to paradise.
With their ‘Stay Longer & Save’ offer now open for bookings, Novotel is rolling out the welcome mat for sun-seekers and serenity-chasers alike. Whether you’re planning a festive family getaway or just craving a spontaneous long weekend, this is your golden ticket to relaxation, celebration and a splash of adventure – all with that unmistakable Sunshine Coast charm. But hurry up!
The earlier you book, the more you save – and that means more money for margaritas, massages or maybe just one too many dessert buffets (no judgement).
While the rest of the country is layering thermals and clutching hot coffees, here on the Coast, the vibe is very much “barefoot by the lagoon”.
Winter at Novotel still means sunny days, refreshing cool breezes and plenty of opportunities to dive into the iconic Queensland outdoor lifestyle. Think unlimited watersports (yes, even in July), sprawling lagoon-style pools, and wide-open lawns made for picnicking, family bonding or simply doing absolutely nothing. Bliss.
Planning ahead for the silly season? Novotel’s festive calendar is packed with everything from indulgent Christmas Day lunches to NYE pop-up food markets that promise good vibes and great bites. After something a little more grown-up? Lily’s – their exclusive New Year’s Eve soiree – offers a refined end to the year, complete with flowing drinks, live entertainment and no kids in sight. But! Spots fill fast, so register your interest today and be the first to secure your place. Cheers to that.
And if you’re more “chill now, party later”, the King’s Birthday long weekend (3-6 October 2025) is your early excuse to escape the grind. Book two nights or more, and enjoy all the resort perks for less – just in time to soak up that early spring sun.
Whether you’re travelling with the whole family, sneaking away with your other half or treating yourself to a solo stay, Novotel’s accommodation is all about comfort and coastal charm. Lagoon-side rooms, breezy balconies and a short stroll to the beach? Yes, please.
So, what are you waiting for? The longer you stay, the more you save – and trust us, you’ll want to linger.
With limited spots during the holiday period, now’s the time to plan your stay and lock in a season of sunshine, celebration and serious good times.
Because winter blues are best cured with lagoon views – and Novotel Sunshine Coast has plenty to go around.
