The eternal dilemma of where to rest your head once you’ve chosen your destination is a touchy point for everyone. But lucky for you, we know a bit about the best accommodation in Noosa.
Let us guess, you want somewhere convenient, somewhere private, somewhere with all the trimmings (but not the frills)? Staying in Noosa, proximity to the beach or river is high on the checklist, as is being close to restaurants, cafes and boutiques. Because really, who wants to ride around in a stuffy car with wet seats (from a damp bikini, people!), when you can cruise around on foot!?
We’ve all stayed at dodgy accommodation somewhere along the holiday line, but we’re here to make sure it doesn’t happen again with this hand-picked list featuring the best accommodation in Noosa.
Seahaven Noosa
If you can’t imagine staying in Noosa without curling up at night to the sound of crashing waves licking the shoreline, then we have just the spot! Seahaven Noosa is as beachfront as they come. Saddling Hastings Street on one side and Noosa Main Beach on the other, this contemporary Noosa resort is in a prime position for a cosmopolitan-slash-beach-style holiday. It really is one of the best accommodation spots in Noosa.
Where: 15 Hastings Street, Noosa Heads
Noosa Crest
We can spot a facelift from a mile away and Noosa Crest’s recent cosmetic update is no different, except that we’re noticing it for all the right reasons. Sitting atop Noosa Hill, this self-contained resort is in a league of its own when it comes to the panoramic views of Noosa Heads and beyond. Splurge on a penthouse and you’ll be working on a tan on your very own rooftop deck, complete with a plunge pool for cooling off. Swim, sunbathe, sleep, repeat. We’re already feeling relaxed!

Sofitel Noosa Pacific Resort
We’re about to make a huge call…Sofitel Noosa Pacific Resort has everything your little holiday heart could possibly desire.

Laze poolside, relax in your studio apartment, and get pampered at Aqua Day Spa. As soon as night hits, grab a chair at the bar and make your way through the cocktail list before dining on criminally good cuisine at Noosa Beach House by Peter Kuruvita. Prepare to have your taste buds blown!
Where: 14-16 Hastings Street, Noosa Heads
Peppers Noosa Resort & Villas
Sometimes you gotta give if you wanna take, and Pepper’s gives you everything, but in return it will take you a short 20-minute stroll to get to the beach. A small price to pay for the amount of luxury you’ll be doused in! Think: peaceful national park location, indulgent beauty treatments at Stephanies Ocean Spa, and specialty dishes like Szechuan-spiced duck breast served at the resort’s restaurant, View on Little Hastings. Visiting Noosa on business? Peppers is home to an 89-seat theatrette and private boardroom for when work and pleasure must mix.
