The only place to stay when in Caloundra. This was our second stay ( 2 families) and won't be our last. After checking out other resorts in Caloundra the Shearwater in our opinion is in the perfect spot on the best beach.

My family spent a week at Shearwater & found it well appointed and in a superb location right on Kings Beach. The resort overlooks Kings Beach and the fountain and is a perfect location for a family. Kings beach is a safe patrolled beach good for kids. The location means you can just grab the towels and walk across the... More

Good location but beware air conditioning is poor especially in hot summer. In two bedroom apartment there is NO air conditioning in second bedroom which is small and dark. In two bedroom main ensuite toilet/bathroom does not have any door or privacy. Apartments are only serviced every 7 days or on departure if less than 7. Complex is getting old... More

Shearwater Holiday Resort The stylish 4.5-Star Shearwater Holiday Resort was the perfect place for me, my wife and 9yo daughter to stay at Caloundra. With a bird eye’s view of King’s Beach, it is not only a place to relax and let your hair down, but is conveniently located to the many attractions nearby, including a plethora of restaurants, pubs...

My husband & i stayed at Shearwater about a year ago now & both thought it was absolutely beautiful & definately worth the price. The first thing that appealed to us was the fact that we walked in off the street & got a room no worries, the service was exceptional & we were very suprised by the reasonable price... More

I recently travelled to Australia to visit my family and my sister booked a getaway to the Shearwater resort for 3 nights. Considering we had travelled to the so called resort in off peak, the price was still quite high so we assumed we were going to find ourselves in luxurious surroundings. Upon arrival, we were unfortunately quite dissapointed. The... More
