The Sunshine Coast hinterland has a rhythm of its own. Misty mornings, quiet streets, the kind of pace that reminds you to slow down. Eumundi sits at the heart of the hinterland – a small town with a big personality, built on more than a century of art, community and stories worth knowing.

Starting with the markets. Every Wednesday and Saturday, Eumundi’s famous open-air market comes to life with local makers, artists, growers and artisans spilling out across the streets. From there, the galleries, boutiques and cafés of the main street are easy to lose yourself in.

The Imperial Hotel Boutique Accommodation sits right in the middle of it all, straight across from its sister company, The Imperial Hotel Eumundi. Fifteen individually designed rooms, each one a quiet nod to the artists and makers of the Eumundi community. Each element considered, from the natural linen, handcrafted ceramics, artisan tiles and locally crafted pieces that give every room its own character.

In winter, the outdoor mineral pool and jacuzzi come to life. There’s a particular kind of luxury in sinking into warm, magnesium-rich water on a crisp morning, greenery all around, with nothing on the agenda. It’s the kind of quiet that you start to yearn for in the busy weeks.

And when you’re ready to head next door, The Imperial Hotel Eumundi is waiting. Cold beer brewed on-site, direct from Eumundi Brewery, pub classics and a warm, inviting atmosphere to fill your cup and get you through those mid-week blues.

This winter, book a two-night midweek stay and receive a $50 food and beverage voucher at The Imperial Hotel Eumundi, plus a four-pack of Eumundi local brews to enjoy at your own pace.

Available Sunday through to Thursday. Minimum two-night stay. Terms and conditions apply.
