There’s nothing quite like waking after a restful night’s sleep on your Noosa getaway, padding quietly to your private outdoor deck and sipping the first coffee of the day while gazing right at the best river view. At this epic Sunshine Coast Airbnb you are, quite literally, on the riverfront. So close you could actually dive right on in—or bring your jet ski (the complex has a shared jetty you can use) and zoom around on top of it if you’re so inclined.
Your home away from home is a ground-level apartment that sleeps up to five adults which is pretty handy. It’s in a top spot, a mere 15-minute toddle to all the fun stuff on Gympie Terrace and a 25-minute stroll to the iconic Hastings Parade. Need another reason to book? There’s a shared heated lagoon-style pool at the apartment complex too. Woo!
