Caloundra

Caloundra is a city in the southern part of the Sunshine Coast in Queensland and is extremely well off for pet friendly accommodation and pet services.

Just 90 kilometres north of Brisbane Caloundra has a population of approximately 45,000 people but the boundaries of Caloundra are not easily defined.

Caloundra was first surveyed in the 1870s, and land sales commenced in 1883. The area quickly became very popular with tourists as it was on the coast and only an hour from Brisbane. The population of Caloundra then was just 271, which is a far cry from the population these days. The pet friendly accommodation these days would accommodate more people than that.

From the early 1950s Caloundra experienced a boom and by 1968, it had become so large that the Local Council relocated its offices to Caloundra.

The Caloundra region is commonly known to be bounded by Currimundi Creek, Rainforest Drive and the Mooloolah River to the north, Beerwah State Forest and Bruce Highway to the west, the Pumicestone Channel and ocean to the east, and Bells Creek to the south.

Pet friendly accommodation in Caloundra mainly consists of pet friendly beach houses, pet friendly cottages, pet friendly apartments, pet friendly units, pet friendly flats, pet friendly hotels, pet friendly resorts, and pet friendly caravan parks.
