Noosa.

Noosa, where the hinterland meets coastal living, boasts an irresistible lifestyle with its stunning stretches of emerald blue oceans, meandering rivers and lush tropical rainforests. A renowned resort town on Queensland’s world famous stretch of the Sunshine Coast, Noosa is also a place where many decide to lay down roots.

And why wouldn’t you when Noosa offers an unparalleled canvas. Outdoor enthusiasts can pursue seafaring adventures, rugged overland trips and hiking trails that wind through the National Parks that border the region. If it’s the slower pace you crave, the beaches along Noosa’s coastline have it all from the vibrant surrounds of Noosa’s Main Beach to the much quieter and secluded Hell’s Gates in Noosa National Park.

Hastings Street in Noosa Heads is the centre of a vibrant bar and dining scene, with designer stores, cafés and tourist shops. Look a little further afield and you’ll find that Noosa is the quintessential laid-back coastal town. The Noosa region encompasses river inlets and lakes. Locals never have to venture too far from home to wet their feet, tee-off at one of the golf courses or shop at the local villages and markets.

Surfing culture has endured and is celebrated in Noosa’s line-up of annual festivals that celebrate the local culture and its regional attributes. You can enjoy the Noosa Festival of Surfing, the Noosa Food and Wine Festival, the Noosa Ultimate Sports Festival, the Noosa Triathlon Multi Sport Festival and the Noosa Jazz Festival. Noosa National Park, Great Sandy National Park and The Everglades are there to be explored year-round.

While offering a laid-back lifestyle that has long been the destination of choice for holiday makers, Noosa is just as much a place to call home for those who can never get enough of the sun and the sea.
