“The best part of the beach! This place is a dream location. Near Hastings Street, the beach, the reserve while also being quiet - you can even hear the birds throughout the day, including the kookaburras! Has a car park, great for families. The pool is sheltered enough from sun so really good for youngsters. Warm pools and spa is lovely. Close to everything and just easy! Rooms were small which was perfect for us with just an 8 month old. Staff were friendly and accomodating too! Thanks Mark and Shannon for a lovely stay.”

“I booked several rooms for my wedding in the middle of Cyclone Alfred and received the most amazing service from Shannon and Mark during our stay. It started with a pre check in call making sure all parties knew about the potential cyclone for our own safety. Shannon let us check in a day early as there were so many cancellations and could not have been more hospital throughout our stay. The rooms were so clean and my loft apartment had the most beautiful feeling. I especially loved sitting out on the balcony listening to the waves roll in on Noosa Main Beach. Thank you for your kindness during our stay. We will be back for our Anniversary!”

“Our second stay over the years. Have stayed in the loft appt and 2 bedroom. Both great. If the noise at night annoys then shut doors and aircons worked well. It's right on hastings near the park. Only 2 bedroom really heard anything. Loft is towards beach side. Loft stairs are a little hazardous but also part of their fun/charm. Pool is lovely and being up the quiet end of the beach means a nice walk to main patrolled area. Management are lovely and have plenty of advice. Charging for EVs for guests is a nice bonus.”

“Having both beachfront and Hastings St access was very convenient. The apartment was very well equipped, it had everything we needed especially the coffee machine. It was vey clean, beautifully decorated and lovely linen. The Managers were lovely to deal with and having them on site all day gave a personal touch to the stay.”
