Ocean View Tourist Park: Your Scenic Gateway to the Sunshine Coast Hinterland
This park is the perfect basecamp for exploring the enchanting Sunshine Coast hinterland. It is just a short, scenic drive from the charming and artistic village of Maleny, famous for its dairies, wineries, and vibrant local markets. The equally delightful town of Montville, with its boutique shops and European feel, is also within easy reach. While it feels like a secluded mountain retreat, the park is also conveniently close to major attractions like the world-famous Australia Zoo. After a day of exploring the winding country roads, waterfalls, and quaint villages of the Blackall Range, the park’s refreshing swimming pool is the ideal spot to unwind and soak in the views. For a memorable holiday that combines natural beauty, relaxation, and easy access to the best of the hinterland, Ocean View Tourist Park is an unbeatable choice.
