7 Guesthouse

Sunshine Coast


A fine choice in the centre. The three adjoining rooms in a revamped old house are on the small side (try for room 2, which is marginally larger) but well appointed with a modernish feel. No meals are provided, but you're just steps from the town's best restaurants. Just one quibble: there are only two parking spaces.
