Family Stays at Sunhaven Palm Cove

For families of all shapes and stages

Palm Cove is a wonderful destination for young families, but family holidays come in all shapes and stages. Grandparents travelling with grandchildren. Blended families. Adult children holidaying with their parents. Families gathering from different places to spend time together.

Sunhaven's single-level layout and connected indoor–outdoor spaces make sharing a stay feel easy and comfortable, with the pool, kitchen, lounge and patio all flowing together naturally.

And with Palm Cove's beach, cafés and restaurants just a short walk away, everyone has a little freedom to enjoy the day at their own pace.

Sunhaven is particularly well suited to:

  • Blended and multi-generational families looking for space to stay together

  • Grandparents visiting family or joining a family holiday in Palm Cove

  • Adult children travelling with parents who appreciate a comfortable, thoughtfully set-up home

  • Families enjoying a longer stay, with a full kitchen, laundry and room to properly settle in

  • Pet parents who want to bring a much-loved member of the family along

The slow cooker makes wholesome meals effortless, freeing up your time for family fun.

Unique Indoor/Outdoor Family Hub

Sunhaven's design embraces family connection from the moment you arrive. Enter your private oasis to find the inviting "fun-size" waterfall plunge pool nestled at the front of the property, flowing effortlessly beside the indoor living and kitchen. Our guests tell us this creates a unique and easily accessible hub, extending to the spacious undercover outdoor lounge and dining area right by the pool. Relax in your tropical paradise, knowing the kids are having fun within your comfortable and watchful gaze.

Why Sunhaven Works So Well for Family Holidays

Walk to Everything

Sunhaven boasts a truly enviable location in Palm Cove. Leave the car behind and stroll to the beach, the esplanade with its vibrant dining scene, the supermarket for supplies, and even a tavern with a kids' zone – all within a short, easy walk. A playground on the esplanade adds to the family-friendly appeal. (Check out some of the local amenities here.)
