Not to mention, you’ll be living in your dream prize home mortgage-free!
Embrace everything that’s good about coastal living by indulging in these top ways to relax on the Sunshine Coast.
De-stress in an outdoor bath
Imagine ending your day with a soothing soak in an outdoor bath, surrounded by the tranquillity of nature. The gentle rustling of leaves and the distant sounds of birds create a peaceful ambiance, perfect for letting go of the day’s stresses. The luxurious outdoor space in our prize home has an open-air bath and shower, allowing you to connect with the outdoors while enjoying a moment of pure, private relaxation. An outdoor bath isn’t just a place to wash away the day; it’s a sanctuary where you can truly unwind, reflect, and rejuvenate.
Spend time near water
Water has a profound effect on our mental well-being. Studies have shown that being near water can reduce stress, increase feelings of calm, and boost overall happiness. This Mater Prize Home on the Sunshine Coast is ideally located near the beach, where you can enjoy the soothing sounds of the waves and the refreshing sea breezes every single day. The property also features a stunning pool and a peaceful water feature in the garden directly off three of the bedrooms, offering multiple spots for a tranquil time out. And if you’re in the mood for a day trip, the Sunshine Coast hinterland is just a scenic drive away, with breathtaking waterfalls that provide another backdrop for relaxation and contemplation.
Take a beach walk
There’s something inherently calming about walking along the beach, with the sand beneath your feet and the ocean stretching out before you. The Sunshine Coast boasts some of the most beautiful beaches in Australia, making it the perfect place for a leisurely stroll. Even better, our latest Mater Prize Home lottery No. 315 places you within an easy 190-metres walking distance of one of the Sunshine Coast’s best (and quietest) beaches. The rhythmic sound of the waves and the fresh sea air work together to clear your mind and uplift your spirit, making beach walks an essential part of any relaxation routine. Whether you’re an early riser who enjoys watching the sunrise or you prefer a peaceful evening walk to clear your head after work, the beach offers a simple yet effective way to relax.
Enjoy the art of cooking
Cooking can be a wonderfully therapeutic activity, especially when done in a well-equipped kitchen. You’ll love exploring new flavours in this prize home’s bespoke kitchen, which comes with integrated appliances and plenty of space for culinary creativity. Whether you’re preparing a gourmet meal or simply whipping up your favourite comfort food, cooking allows you to focus on the present moment and take pleasure in the process. Plus, sharing a meal with loved ones in such a beautiful setting can be one of the most rewarding ways to unwind and connect with others.
Unwind by the fire
There’s nothing quite like the warmth and comfort of a fire to help you unwind. The simple act of sitting by a fire can help you disconnect from the outside world (and technology!) and immerse yourself in the present moment. This Wurtulla home offers the best of both worlds with a cosy indoor fireplace and an outdoor fire pit, perfect for relaxing on cooler evenings. Whether you’re curled up with a good book inside or gathered around the fire pit with friends and family roasting marshmallows, the flickering flames and crackling wood create a soothing atmosphere that encourages relaxation.
Indulge in a spa day
Sometimes, the best way to relax is to treat yourself to a day of pampering. The Sunshine Coast is home to several renowned day spas and bathhouses that offer a range of luxurious treatments designed to melt away stress. Ikatan Spa in the Noosa Hinterland is a Balinese-inspired retreat where you can indulge in massages, facials, and body treatments in a serene tropical setting. Another great option is the trendy Tank Riviera in Mooloolaba. This luxe day spa has six magnesium baths, wet steam rooms and a hot stone sauna, a range of indulgent massages and facials, plus, you can stay for a gourmet lunch to extend your Zen state even further. A visit to one of these local spas is the perfect way to recharge and feel completely rejuvenated.
