The Haven for Families

Why we Curated Sunhaven for Families

Family holidays are supposed to be magical.

Right? Those picture-perfect moments you tuck away forever. But honestly, we've found the reality often falls short. We've been there ourselves: the meltdowns, the desperate searches for a decent kids' meal, feeling like all we did was co-ordinate survival, not actually relax. And then there's the 'stuff' – crammed rentals where our own belongings had no home, surrounded by lots of breakable knick-knacks. It added a whole layer of stress we didn't need.

That's why, when we curated Sunhaven, we really thought about how a space feels. We wanted stylish, tropical decor, sure, but even more, a design that genuinely makes your holiday easier and more relaxing.

Talking to other parents, it clicked – we weren't the only ones craving a real break that actually felt like one. Sunhaven is the kinda of place we always wished existed. A true home-away-from-home where everyone, kids included, can actually unwind and have a good time.

Ultimately, Sunhaven is about letting you get back to what matters: those real, unscripted moments with the people you love.

Why Sunhaven Will Be The #1 Choice For Your Palm Cove Family Holiday

Spacious Single-Level Living

Forget navigating stairs with strollers or tired toddlers. Sunhaven's single-level design ensures easy access for everyone. With ample room for up to six adults (plus an infant), no one's relegated to a cramped sofa bed.

Kitchen Built for Family Meals & Morning Moments

Our spacious kitchen is designed for family meals and easy mornings. Whether you're whipping up a quick breakfast or preparing a leisurely dinner, you'll find everything you need. The slow cooker makes wholesome meals effortless, freeing up your time for family fun. Gather around the kitchen island or breakfast table for casual dining, and kickstart your day with our coffee station.

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. 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.

Kid-Friendly Amenities

We've thought of the little things that make a big difference. Sunhaven is equipped with:

  • A selection of toys and books to keep little ones entertained.

  • Family board games for evenings of entertainment.

  • The twin bedroom features 2 king single beds and bright colours that kids (and big kids) will love.

  • Baby/Toddler pack - Porta-cot and Highchair (Nominal Fee), a nightlight for little dreamers

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.)
