Noosa

Sparkling seas, elegant eateries with ocean and river views, bustling outdoor bars and cafes, superb shopping, relaxing spas and endless outdoor fun and adventure surrounded by nature’s blues and greens add up to the perfect summer holiday, and Noosa has them all… in buckets and spades!

Noosa is a subtropical paradise. The climate in November produces an average 26 degrees Celsius air temperature, 24 degrees Celsius water temperature and 60% humidity. The days feature 14 hours of sunlight with predominantly south easterly 10kph afternoon breezes.

When you visit Noosa and appreciate its natural and cultural attractions, you could be forgiven for feeling like you never want to leave.

Noosa’s National Park, teeming with wildlife, its forested edges scalloped with perfect beaches, is only a ten-minute walk from one of Australia’s most elegant shopping strips — Hastings Street —offering stylish restaurants, trendy cafes, bars, designer fashion boutiques just a few steps from the turquoise waters of Noosa Main Beach.

A five-minute drive or a leisurely ferry ride up the Noosa River takes you to neighbouring Noosaville, now growing in reputation for fine dining and great shopping. Noosaville takes full advantage of its riverfront location, with plenty of playgrounds, barbecue areas, walking tracks and fishing platforms along the shoreline.

Still stylish but smaller in scale than Noosa are nearby Sunshine Beach, Sunrise Beach, Marcus Beach, Peregian Beach and Coolum Beach, all uncrowded surf beaches with sparkling blue water, offset by pure, white sand.

Coolum is home to the best-ranked resort golf course in the country, while Peregian is famous for its popular monthly outdoor live music event, Peregian Originals and its friendly village vibe.

Eumundi’s twice-weekly market is the lifeblood of the town, and offers a colourful array of designer and retro clothing, organic produce, arts and crafts, plants, live music and roving entertainers.

Dining

Breakfasts, cocktails, bars, restaurants, seafood, dessert, cafes, pubs and late night eats – whatever your discerning palette is after on holidays, we have it covered. The region is renowned for its award-winning restaurants, cafes and eateries, with an abundance of fresh, local and delectable produce prepared by dedicated and experienced chefs.

Stay in the heart of it all at Noosa’s Hastings Street and enjoy a meal with a sea view. A number of open-air and beachfront restaurants line this famous strip, providing platefuls of delicious and locally sourced produce.

A short drive from Noosa Main Beach and Hastings Street is Noosaville. Noosaville’s main street, Gympie Terrace, hums with quality restaurants, healthy food choices and eclectic cafes. Thomas Street is another favourite Noosaville enclave, offering ice creams and elegant eateries with a river view.

Wander a little further and take your time to sample the diverse range of cuisine served at cafes and eateries found in Sunshine Beach and Peregian Beach square.
