UniSC Arena Hotels & Accommodation

As a popular beach destination for vacationers and surfing enthusiasts in particular, a visit to the Sunshine Coast comes with a high price tag. That said, the long stretch of coast offers everything from backpacker hostels to private luxury seafront villas, accommodating a wide range of budgets.

📍 Where To Stay

To experience Australia’s exciting surf scene and its famous laid-back beach bum culture, there’s nowehere better to stay than Noosa. Not only does it promise a good surf, it promises a shopping, dining, and nightlife scene that hipsters would feel at home in. Despite its popularity, this area is also ideal for budget travellers since this is where most of the Sunshine Coast’s hostels can be found.

Sunshine Beach is a great alternative for those that want to be close to Noosa’s cool surf community, but enjoy a calmer and quieter beach atmosphere. The towns are just a few kilometres away from each other, yet Sunshine Beach benefits from a less commercial atmosphere and a long beach.

Those looking for more of a cosmopolitan atmosphere might prefer Maloochydore, the commercial and physical centre of the Sunshine Coast. It benefits from offering the best of the Sunshine Coast’s mainstream shopping, dining, and nightlife scenes, as well as its central location. From here, you can explore the coast in both directions quite easily.

Families will feel most at home in Mooloolaba located near to Maloochydore. A holiday home hub, it is offers everything a family could want from fantastic kid-friendly beaches to cultural and entertainment attractions, and an excellent range of dining options.

Of course, there are plenty of resorts, hotels, holiday homes, and private villas up and down the coast that offer travellers their own slice of Sunshine Coast paradise including Buddina, Bokarina, and Caloundra.

About UniSC Arena

UniSC Arena, previously known as USC Stadium, is an indoor sports stadium located on the campus of the University of the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australia. It is the home venue for the Sunshine Coast Lightning netball team.

The stadium features 3 indoor courts that can be used for netball, basketball, volleyball, and futsal. There are also 4 badminton courts, 1 international-sized futsal court, and 1 indoor hockey court onsite. The venue was redeveloped in 2019, having first opened in 1996 along with the University of the Sunshine Coast.

UniSC Arena had an original capacity of just 320, but this was increased to 2,000 in anticipation of Sunshine Coast Lightning joining Suncorp Super Netball in 2017. Due to high demand for tickets to see the team, this capacity has since been increased further to 3,000. Seating at the stadium comprises 2 retractable units and 1 fixed, arranged in tiers to give spectators the best possible views.
