Family has always been a big focus for Feedworks and each year, we strive to make this an integral part of our program. This is part of the reason we continually choose to return to Coolum. Hyatt offers many recreational facilities both on and off site which partners and families can choose to participate in, from a day out shopping in Noosa, pampering yourself in the Sun Spa, Diving the HMAS Brisbane or just enjoying a day out with the kids at Underwater World. For more details on any of these activities you can visit the Hyatt Regency website at www.coolum.regency.hyatt.com You will find heaps more information regarding what is on offer for you and your guests and even book them to ensure you don't miss out.
