Decent studio apartment in a well-kept development on David Low Way about 6 kilometers from Noosa Heads. Each building contains a number of apartments and ours was large, with a queen bed, living room, bathroom, and kitchenette with microwave, refrigerator, toaster and hot pot, but because we tend to save money by cooking our own food on vacation, I would have like a bit more cooking facilities. The larger apartments contain more, but in the studio apartments, for example, you have to do your dishes in the bathroom sink. Not a deal breaker, just a bit annoying. And make sure you wash all the dishes and take all your trash with you when you leave or you get charged $25.00.
The complex has a small pool, a tennis court and direct access to Castaways Beach, but if you don't have a car like we did, it is a bit difficult to go to the Main Beach and National Park in Noosa Heads. There is a public bus available, but I never took it so I can't tell you the price or how often it ran. I'm more of a walker and, unfortunately we were too far away to walk to town, but the beach stretching from the south up to Sunshine and Sunrise Beach at Noosa Heads is phenomenal--large with well-packed sand perfecting for walking or jogging. Go down there to watch the surfers and the dogs frolicking in the surf in the morning. There is a bike path that runs parallel to the beach for part of the way, but getting to town involves at least an hour's walk and you have to figure out how to get from the bike path to the shops. Getting to the Main Beach takes even longer.
Overall a decent place to spend a few nights, but if I were staying any longer I would spring for one of the larger apartments, which have laundry facilities and balconies, some of which face the beach and the ocean. I also recommend renting a car so you can visit all the sights north up to Noosa Heads. read more
