We came back to Mooloolaba for about the 20th time this July to escape Melbourne's winter for a couple of weeks. We've stayed in a number of places over the years as our needs have changed but have been lucky enough to be at 84 the Spit for the last 5 years. We're in our 60's, we fly up & usually don't need a car here. Can always get a taxi or bus if needed. Beach is out the front, no roads to cross. Within 10 minutes walk l can find a quiet place to fish, my wife has shops to check out & there are multiple places to eat. If you want to walk further the paths along the beachfront are fantastic. The water temperature in July is coolish but l comfortably stay in for 20 minutes then jump into the heated pool on the way back if needed. If you want to relax in your room & read or take in the view, the views are mesmerising. We were on level 8 with an open balcony. Every unit is different but we've always had comfortable beds, great furniture, great kitchens & utensils & fantastic bathrooms.Managers Sidney & Lauren are accommodating in every way possible. They came out & hugged us goodbye when we left yesterday.! Only 50 weeks till we're back again. Cheers, lan.
