Rumba Resort

Top choice in Sunshine Coast


This sparkling white playground is one of the slickest slumber pads in town. Studio rooms are light, spacious and modern, each with high-quality mattresses, two-person Jacuzzi, home-theatre system and fully equipped kitchen. The pool area is worthy of a photo shoot, with two heated pools and a flanking bar. Easy walking access to the beachfront to boot.
