A huge thank-you to Fiona and her team for offering such superb service! As a local, I feel incredibly lucky to have such high quality products available nearby. I've "explored" more than 25 of their amazing olive oils and balsamic vinegars and always look forward to spending time in the store with their knowledgeable staff. We are currently in the midst of Covid-19, practising social/physical distancing. In typical Sunshine Coast Olive Oil Co. style - they have stepped up by offering on-line/over the phone ordering for either drive-by pick up or free delivery on the Coast. How wonderful to have received my oils and vinegar at my door within hours of ordering!! Thank-you, thank-you for all you do!

The view from Soames Hill is totally worthy of taking photos of to show others. My wife and I climbed up to the top and it was well worth the effort. The original route has been improved making the summit even easier to access than it was years ago.

Terri provided us with suggestions for destinations, maps, detailed directions and clear descriptions of the level of ability or mobility required for each. Thank you, Terri!

This is a perfect visit for tourist looking for a flavour of unique in local experiences. It doesn’t deserve the low 3 star ratings. It has a gorgeous aquarium in the centre in which you can view what you could only see under the ocean otherwise. These salt water aquariums are not cheap on upkeep! There is also the aquatic museum only open on weekends. Products sold by vendors are actually not any more expensive than any other establishment of this type. We bought different flavours of water kefir, pepperoni sticks - very reasonably priced at $2 each and the 5th one free - chocolate covered honeycomb, and organic pickles, again only $7.99, a great price for organic pickles. I did not like that the menu upstairs did not have prices on it though. I don’t eat at places that use that tactic on interested customers.
