Mark and Joanne do a wonderful job making you feel at home - a wide selection of DVDs Australian and American alike, a bountiful breakfast with fresh fruit, free port, a wonderful hot tub, and the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in while on vacation. The houses aren't truly private as I thought they would be, but that's no worries. While on the pricier side for a one-night accommodation, you won't regret it. Tips: A short drive to Kondalila Falls - go for a hike in the morning, watch a beautiful sunrise, and then come back to a warm breakfast.

Haven't had the chance to check out the beach or pool yet, but hope to do so before I leave. Down sides? Takes a surprisingly long time to get anything approaching hot water in my 6th floor room's shower.

Conveniently located on the main strip, and a quick walk to the beach, the recently-renovated…read moreSheraton Noosa was great for our Easter getaway. We didn't try the bar in the middle of the pool... because the friendly staff had upgraded us to a spacious 'lifestyle' room with a balcony hot tub.

These suites are 1 bedroom, fully self-contained resort apartments with huge spa baths in the ensuites. Upon arrival, the receptionist (Rachel) completed our check in with friendly enthusiasm, recommended a local day spa according to her personal experience and advised us of nearby restaurants and bars to visit. She then wished us a great stay and offered her assistance if we needed anything else. We also requested a pamper package to be added to our stay - when we arrived in our room we found a bottle of champagne in the fridge with 2 chilled glasses, a box of Lindt chocolates and 2 large bottles of delicious smelling bath scrubs and oils. Impressed. As the units are self contained there isn't any room service meals available - however housekeeping do come through the apartments if you show your "Please make up my room" signs and make the beds and provide fresh towels and tidy up. The pool area was always clean and inviting, the beach was directly across the road and all the suites face the ocean. The cost of staying here was not cheap - but considering what it is and how impressed we were with the service I feel like it was definitely worth it. I can honestly say I don't have anything bad to say about my experience with this resort. We've already decided to go back for a weekend stay as soon as we can - reception advised us on checkout they would do what they could to get us the same great room again. Will recommend this resort to anyone!

Spa in the ensuite, with a TV in the bedroom that can be rotated to be seen from the spa. With a pamper package thrown in, you can have a nice champagne and a chocolate while watching your favourite show. We had the luck of having the room from which they had taken the advertisement photo from - literally picture perfect views. I'm not generally a sucker for views but it was nice. Kitchen and living area were immaculate and very nice (check out the pictures!), plus air con throughout. This place is perfect for a weekend getaway where you really want to enjoy spending your time where you are staying and not feel like you need to go out. I paid $762 in peak season for 3 nights and a pamper package, which included bubbly (actually nice, too), Lindt chocolate box, massage oil, exfoliator scrub and a loofa. While it wasn't the cheapest option I have absolutely no regret in what I paid, and feel it was justified. The places are kept really clean, and I spied someone cleaning the lifts, too. My partner and I plan on coming back.
