Tips for choosing accommodation near Australia Zoo

  • Go for family-friendly, self-contained stays: Holiday parks and apartments with kitchens and laundry facilities offer flexibility, save you money on meals, and make life easier, especially if you're staying several nights or travelling with kids.
  • Stay connected with transport-friendly locations: Not renting a car? Choose places near Beerwah or Landsborough stations, they're on the main rail line and just a short drive from the zoo. Bonus points if your accommodation offers shuttle services.
  • Escape to nature in the hinterland: For a quieter escape, head to the Glass House Mountains or Maleny. You’ll still be within easy reach of the zoo, but surrounded by lush scenery, fresh air, and fewer crowds.
  • Find stays that fit your whole crew: Whether you're travelling with pets, kids, or a group of friends, look for pet-friendly options or larger cabins and villas. They offer space, privacy, and shared areas perfect for relaxing together.
  • Mix wildlife with beach time: Want to explore beyond the zoo? Stay in Caloundra, Mooloolaba, or Maroochydore, you'll trade a slightly longer drive for direct access to the Sunshine Coast’s best beaches, cafes, and coastal fun.
