Avani Mooloolaba Beach Hotel

Avani Mooloolaba Beach Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Great modern hotel in an excellent Mooloolaba location, just one block back from the esplanade and beach. There are fantastic views across the beach, marina and canals from many rooms, and the rooftop pool, restaurant and bar are a real highlight. The only downside is that the pool deck and gym are both quite small for such a large hotel. The pool area can become crowded during busy periods, while the gym feels cramped with only a few people using it. A larger gym with windows and views would have been a great addition. On-site parking was very good, and overall we really enjoyed our stay."

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Maroochy River?
The best time to go to Maroochy River is during the dry season, from May to October, when the weather is consistently pleasant and ideal for outdoor activities.

During these months, you can expect clear skies, comfortable temperatures averaging around 25°C, and lower humidity. This makes it great for enjoying the river itself, whether you're kayaking, paddleboarding, or taking a scenic boat trip. It's also a great time for exploring the nearby beaches and national parks without the intensity of the summer heat or the higher chance of rain.

Families will particularly appreciate this period as it aligns well with school holidays in many regions, offering a great opportunity for a relaxed and activity-filled break. The calmer waters and pleasant weather are ideal for children to enjoy swimming and playing on the sandy riverbanks or nearby beaches like Maroochydore.

Couples looking for a peaceful escape will also find the dry season appealing. The cooler evenings are great for riverside dining or enjoying a quiet stroll along the water's edge.
Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline – this is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. If you have a non-refundable booking, it might still be possible to receive a refund if you cancel it within 24 hours of booking. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use our "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right Maroochy River hotel for you.
How much is the nightly rate at a Maroochy River hotel?
Hotel prices in Maroochy River often vary, but you can find a great deal on Expedia. Different factors affect nightly hotel rates, such as the time of year or the days of the week you want to book. To find the best deals for your stay, be flexible with your dates, and sort search results by "Price: low to high" for our cheapest rates.
