Kawana Waters Hotel

Kawana Waters Hotel is a waterfront pub in Buddina, positioned along the Mooloolah River beside Kawana Waters Marina. The setting brings a relaxed coastal character to the venue, with marina views, a deck for enjoying the outdoors and several spaces suited to casual dining, drinks, sport and social occasions.

The Family Bistro is the main dining option, offering familiar pub fare alongside steaks, fresh seafood, salads and grazing platters. The menu is designed for a range of appetites, with choices for families, seniors and children. Seasonal and local ingredients feature in the kitchen’s approach. The bistro works for a family meal, a catch-up with friends or a straightforward lunch or dinner in a waterfront setting.

Drinks are available across the venue’s bars, including beers on tap, spirits, wines and cocktails. The Sports Bar focuses on live sport, with large screens and TAB facilities. Lunch and dinner are served daily in this area, making it a practical choice for a meal paired with sports viewing. The Marina Bar provides another setting for a drink near the water, while the deck offers an outdoor option when the waterfront is the preferred backdrop.

Families are well catered for, with an undercover outdoor kids playground near the bistro. The combination of broad menu choices, casual surroundings and dedicated children’s facilities makes the venue suitable for mixed-age groups. Friends meeting for drinks, sports followers and diners looking for a relaxed pub meal are also part of the venue’s audience.

Kawana Waters Hotel also accommodates private functions, from smaller cocktail-style gatherings to larger celebrations and weddings. Flexible function spaces can be arranged with food and beverages, while the marina setting adds a clear sense of place to group events. Modern accommodation is available at the venue, allowing guests to stay on site after dining, celebrating or spending time at the bars.

Entertainment and gaming are also part of the venue’s offering, alongside a calendar of events and live gigs. Together with the bistro, bars, sports facilities, functions and rooms, these options give Kawana Waters Hotel a broad, casual pub format rather than a single-purpose dining experience. For visitors exploring the Sunshine Coast, the Buddina location provides an easy waterfront setting for a meal, drink, sporting occasion or group gathering.
