Everything for a Baby Shower

A baby shower needs comfort above all: shade, good seating, bathrooms close by and a short walk from the car for the parent-to-be. On the Sunshine Coast the choice runs from function rooms beside the water at Mooloolaba, Bokarina and Marcoola, to a tavern deck and lawn in Caloundra, to garden and hinterland settings at Flaxton, Montville and Maleny.
Per-guest starting points:
In summer, ask for an air-conditioned room: humid afternoons are hard going late in a pregnancy. For a smaller, seated gathering, look at private dining rooms.
Packages here start from $22.50 per person at a Caloundra tavern and $25 per person at a Marcoola function centre, up to $85 per person at a Maleny venue. A styled picnic set-up starts from $100.
It can work in the morning, but summer brings humidity and afternoon storms. Choose a venue with an indoor room or covered deck as back-up, or hold the outdoor shower in the mild, dry winter months.
The marina room at Mooloolaba, a balcony over Lake Kawana at Bokarina, the retreat above Lake Baroon at Montville and the beachside centre at Marcoola all put water in view.
A supplier delivers and sets up a styled picnic with tables, cushions and decorations in a park or backyard, and packs it away afterwards. Confirm the delivery area and what happens if rain is forecast.
It can, especially for guests who don't know each other. The Mooloolaba studio starts from $59 per person and lets groups bring their own drinks, so plenty of alcohol-free options can be brought along.
Not usually. A private room or a sectioned deck is enough for most showers; ask whether the space is shared with other diners and whether music and speeches are allowed.
