About this space

Located in the heart of Mooloolaba on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast, The Salty Palm is a shoot-ready beach house with charm, colour, and character in every corner. Recently named one of The Urban List’s “Top 10 Beach Houses to Book with Your Crew This Summer,” this nostalgic coastal retreat brings together vintage warmth, fresh white backdrops, and palm-filled outdoor zones to create an instantly uplifting content space.

The home’s signature feature is its poolside area: think whitewashed walls, blue water, trailing vines, and relaxed palms. Deck chairs and faux grass decking add texture and contrast, while surrounding gardens give the space a private, resort-style feel. It’s the kind of scene that suits everything from swimwear campaigns and bridal parties to lifestyle content or family-focused editorial.

Inside, the aesthetic is light, breezy, and joyfully retro. A minimalist kitchen with nostalgic tiling and cane furniture gives off vintage coastal energy—perfect for breakfast scenes, summer table styling, or intimate product shoots. Palm motifs and soft textures nod to laid-back beach living, while white walls and natural light help keep the visuals clean and shoot-friendly across the day.

Every detail has been thoughtfully styled to support a relaxed, joyful feel—without overpowering your creative direction. From the fire pit to the wraparound balcony and lush enclosed garden, there are a range of usable backdrops to explore across both indoor and outdoor zones. It’s this flexibility, combined with the space’s natural charm, that makes The Salty Palm an easy go-to for content creators, photographers, and coastal brands alike.

Set just minutes from the beach in Mooloolaba, QLD, this home offers the visual language of a sun-soaked holiday with the functionality needed for smooth shoots. There’s natural light, Wi-Fi, air-con, and an outdoor shower for rinse-and-reset moments between takes. Whether you’re capturing a young family, launching a new summer range, or simply want a fresh coastal backdrop—The Salty Palm makes it easy.
