The units are large and have the bigger outside patio's as they appear to have been built in the 1990's. Be careful with your car around this complex as some parts are fairly steep. Lots of low wheelbase vehicles will 'bottom out' on the driveway to the reception area - so take care. They have spacious self-contained one, two bedroom and three bedroom holiday apartments, most with views overlooking Coolum Beach and the Pacific Ocean or the Coolum Hillsides. It's a good 15-20 minute walk to most dining and shopping in Coolum.But this is a good alternative to staying in Coolum on the main road with all that traffic noise.

They have a nice quiet main bar with a separate walled off sports bar that has the usual assortment of televisions, arcade machines, billiards tables and the like. They do a beer special once a month or so with some sort of local or craft beer in bottles at what is a pretty good price for Australia. The dinner service doesn't start until six and the menu is rotating with different items constantly being added. I stopped by for dinner on a Thursday night and the place was just about dead. No crowds, just a bartender and a couple of people way in the back playing the pokies so we pretty much had the place to ourselves.

Central Caloundra stay! My husband and I stayed five nights…read morein a second floor three-bedroom apartment in a terrific location in the centre of Caloundra, just a short walk to the shops and restaurants and one block away from Bulcock Beach. We stayed in apartment 201 which had two double bedrooms and one twin bedroom with 2 single beds. The master bedroom had a TV, ensuite and walk in robe and there was a family bathroom. There was a full laundry washing machine and dryer, and a combined kitchen/dining/living room area with flat screen TV. The kitchen was very well-equipped with glassware, cutlery, crockery, pots, pans, fridge freezer, kettle, electric cooktop, microwave, oven, toaster, and dishwasher. We really loved the feel of the apartment - it was bright, modern and well designed with high quality furnishings and fittings. The complex has two pools - which we didn't visit because it was too cold. The underground parking garage was very secure with access controlled by key fobs. If you have mobility issues, there are two lifts with access to all floors. This is a terrific option for a central Caloundra stay!

Their gardens are splendid and Roberto makes a breakfast that's out of this world. Even though my friends weren't up for eggs benedict and this is a dish that's difficult to make for one person, Roberto surprised me with his fabulous eggs benedict on my last morning there. The eggs come from their own chickens that you can visit in their garden. The bedrooms are roomy and comfortable. They built a beautiful fire every night in the lovely living room. The home is decorated with an Asian theme and there is something beautiful to behold where ever you look. Roberto also gave us tips on some fabulous restaurants in Noosa. This place is a piece of Shangri-La. If you're visiting the Noosa area, Noosa Valley Manor is the place to stay. BTW, if you're Italian, Roberto speaks your language.

I need more stars to demonstrate how fantastic this place was…read more First of all, Robbie - the owner - is an outstanding guy. He was totally friendly and had grade-A recommendations for things to do in the area. He had this great mountain biking recommendation that I did not see coming because there is so much surfing nearby - it was some of the best riding I've done. The atmosphere of this place is so relaxing and comfortable that it just made me want to stay - and so I changed some plans and stayed for two extra nights. It was very friendly and lacked that stuffy corporate hotel vibe, it was perfect. The place is about a 10-minute walk outside of Coolum itself, but the path is gorgeous, so I never regretted not having a car. Plus the outside was completely quiet, so I was able to leave the door to the patio open the whole time and listen to the sounds of nature. The beds probably weren't the most comfortable in the world, but I could never figure out why because I was asleep within moments of hitting the pillow - I guess that means I was having enough fun during the day. Do yourself a favor, get off the beaten path, and check this place out, it's one in a million.
