1970s Coastal Retreat | Retro Photoshoot Location | Mudjimba, QLD

Nestled in the quiet beachside enclave of Mudjimba on the Sunshine Coast, this newly renovated 1970s home captures a warm, retro charm with an easygoing, coastal atmosphere. With its leafy native gardens, morning light, and walking-distance proximity to the beach, this home is a natural fit for lifestyle shoots, family content, or relaxed product storytelling.

The home has been gently modernised while honouring its original spirit. Think: retro lines, soft tones, and three comfortable bedrooms that flow naturally off a central living zone. Two rooms feature queen beds, while the third is set up with twin singles—perfect for family campaign scenes or styled editorial setups. The living room faces south, bathing the space in golden morning light that keeps it bright and warm, particularly in the winter months.

A spacious kitchen with gas cooktop, timber accents, and mod-cons offers a workable space for food or lifestyle content, while the bathroom—with its walk-in shower and double basin—adds a clean, functional zone for beauty, wellness, or home shoot themes. A separate toilet and full laundry with outdoor line provide convenience for longer bookings.

One of the home’s standout features is the timber pergola deck that runs along one side of the house—ideal for relaxed breakfast scenes, flat lays, or easy alfresco moments. Surrounding native gardens are rich with personality: banana, pawpaw, and passionfruit trees grow freely, creating a backyard full of texture, colour, and subtle tropical energy. The garden is filled with birdsong and invites slower, nature-connected storytelling.

Just 200 metres from beautiful Mudjimba Beach, and only minutes from local cafés, shops, and the Sunshine Coast Airport, the home is both accessible and delightfully removed. Whether you’re shooting a small campaign, creating family-oriented content, or capturing stills in a naturally lit, laid-back setting, this 1970s beachside retreat is a soulful, shoot-ready gem.
