Painted Boat Resort Spa and Marina

We as a family had great time. One of the best place in Sunshine Coast. Very calm and quiet place with beautiful views of the Bay and surrounded by greenery. Pool and hot tub was great place to relax after a day long picnic and hiking. Wish restaurant opens everyday on week— good food. The last day we had an unexpected call from the admin about noise at 8.00pm. We respect other families there too but to complain about noise at 8pm was disturbing. We are well travelled and know rules of hotel/ resorts. I wish the travellers underneath us had a little more sense and had respect for others. Mind you they were travelling with two small children. I realize admin has to do their job and they very politely said that floors are thin and just take it easy. Other note- we took a harbour tour with Slocat — Christian as guide(owner). Highly recommend. Also having dinner or a drink at The Hopper with breathtaking views and sunset is amazing. It’s just 5 minutes away from resort. Will return!!!!!

Great place for a romantic get away or family vacation. Refined restaurant with a view on site. Easy access to resort spa, infinity pool/hot tubs along with boating/kayaking/SUP rentals. Units come with fully equipped kitchen, airy living room and bedrooms spaces. Highly recommend requesting the harbour view to take in the sunrise and sunsets. Remote location that has grocery store, liquor store and village restaurants within walking distance. Farmers markets are within driving distance to communities within close proximity. A wonderful escape into nature at its finest.

Beautiful property and we had a beautiful view of the harbour. The villas are very clean, modern and well appointed. I'm not sure if all the villas have the same floor plan, but ours was a two bedroom and it was very big. It's essentially a two bedroom apartment. At this price point though, I'd think that's a minimum expectation. Ours did not disappoint...much. It's just a few minutes from shopping in Madeira Park, where you'll find Japanese and Mexican cuisine and a food truck. There's a coffee shop in town called Java Docks. The coffee is pretty good, but I would not recommend the food there. Maximum price point and minimum effort and quality. There's an IGA and a government liquor store right there too. Just a few caveats for the resort though, if you find any of these things important. The restaurant on the property is closed on Sundays and Mondays. We didn't think to ask or look that up. That was disappointing, as our entire stay was a Sunday and a Monday. The villas are NOT air conditioned. There are ceiling fans and they have extra fans available upon request. It gets hot and humid here in August. We found it bearable, but AC would've been nice. There is NO ice machine here. Villas have full size fridges though, so you can make your own. You may be able to ask for extra ice cube trays, but we didn't need to. IGA sells bags of ice as well. The pool closes at 9 pm. Most places I've been to, the pools close at 10. A minor disappointment, but certainly not a deal breaker. Unless there are extreme circumstances, they do not do late checkouts. Checkout is a firm 11:00.
