Travelling
How do I get there by car from the Brisbane Airport?
Simple, if you have a GPS in your car – enter 8 Dingle Avenue, Kings Beach.
If not, follow the signs to the Sunshine Coast on the Bruce Highway, taking exit 188 Caloundra. Remain on the Caloundra road, going through 3 roundabouts. At the 4th roundabout, take the second exit toward Caloundra. Continue to the end of this road, and through the roundabouts past all the shops. Go straight through the roundabout with the Universal Gym on your left. Go one block further and take the 3rd exit on the roundabout. You will be facing the ocean and Kings Way Apartments runs the entire block on your left hand side. You will see the driveway to the visitors car park on your left.
