Noosa North Shore Retreat

Great facilities and fun for the family. Beautiful setting.

More isolated then I thought it would be!! My mistake. Bar and restaurant closed early

We spent the weekend here as a boys trip with all of our kids. We upgraded to a room w aircon - a good move as the weather was steamy. Considering the price this place is epic...! For shorter trips when you need a proper relax, hang out and recharge. If it's a simple, clean and well appointed room with ample natural grounds for kids and adults to play, putt putt, swim, bounce, bbq or you're requiring pub eats, then look no further... the best bit is no mad camping pack down and sweat fest sunday morning (plus the brownie points scored with our wives), just a cruisy drive up to D.I. for lunch and a swim. Thanks for having us! We'll definitely be back!

This isn’t the Grand Hyatt, it is cabin accommodation, so don’t expect a concierge and beauty spa but we had a family Christmas at the venue and everything was wonderful. We had kids from toddler age to late teens and there was something for everyone to do. The pool the playground and bounce were a hit with the younger kids and Casper took the older kids for Laser Tag which went really well, and they loved the games room. All ages enjoyed the Putt Putt but please close hole 16, it beat us all. The BBQ areas were well maintained and spotlessly clean. We ate in the restaurant the first night and the food was good and the staff friendly. Phone reception was patchy and there was no wi-fi at the cabin, which in the beginning had the teens screaming in horror, but it meant at night we played board games and ‘gasp’ sat and talked. There was wildlife, kangaroos, goannas, possums and birds. The beach was beautiful and the lake close by. It was a fantastic opportunity to reconnect with the family.

We didn’t stay long enough.

I had read the reviews prior so I was a little nervous. But it was amazing! The money spent for an entire weekend away with the family...the kids had a separate bedroom. I made sure to get the AC for the littles, being winter and we were extremely comfortable. People want more updated....pay the triple amount this was and you will have your perfect space. But this was well worth the money, we absolutely LOVED crossing the ferry!! We woke up to the beach being front out our door. Bush turkeys and kookaburras the wild life is insane and beautiful to wake up to as well. Recommend getting a cabin with AC and your not next to other apartments.

The road to the cabin but we didn’t mind either just got to take your time and drive slow. And to the beach was actually private property so no entry. But again we didn’t mind cause the beach was only a few minutes from the resort anyways.

Long time visitor and this place is still 'at one with nature', grandkids loved kangaroos, goannas, birds, swimming, giant pillow, room to run around, meal at the hotel. Excellent frying pan in cottage 17 and great location near pool and roo grazing area. I would love to have future family summer gatherings here.

Cottage bedrooms get hot with the doors closed, ok for a family that can leave them open.

The pool with the waterfall was amazing The quietness of the area was great Staff were friendly Close to the beach Loved playing pool when the area was open

There was poo in the second pool The activity area closed before 4pm and the toilets at the second pool closed early. Kids complained there was no phone service 🤣 Meals expensive at the restaurant Jumping pillow wasn't inflated Barge costing $10 each way Photos look better then actual real life Noisy pipes when you had a shower

The location was absolutely stunning and the grounds were fantastic! The pools and available activities were great, the kids loved them! The beds were comfortable and the room was clean.

The rooms could do with some updating i.e. the couch was pretty old and well used and the bathroom facilities i.e. the vanity didn’t offer much bench space which made it hard to use with two small children. Overall the property was great and we will definitely be back!

Great location, easy to find, some good activities available, everything is quite close even though it feels spacious.

The prices were very high, though you would expect to pay a bit more being a bit remote, the prices were a bit too high, we were given the wrong bedding configuration as to what we booked, lady at reception was a bit rude at first but the manager was lovely he gave us a free upgrade and was so friendly and helpful, he really made the trip so much more pleasant.

I recommend the stand-alone bungalows. They have more space than the floor plan suggests. The surrounds are great. There's plenty of space for kids to play. Restaurant staff were exemplary. Value for money is outstanding.

There were some minor maintenance issues such as a light not working. The owner was very appreciative to have it reported. All the essentials worked fine (oven, aircon, etc). Not a gripe but note that you have to cross the river by vehicular ferry to get in and out: check the timetable and have some cash on hand.

The room was exceptional. Definitely exceeded my expectations! Facilities were well maintained and the kids loved the activities! We are already planning our next trip to Noosa & will most definitely be staying at Noosa North Shore Retreat again.

We arrived at around 7pm at night and there wasn't much lighting for us to see where we were going. However, it was not difficult to find the cabin as the friendly staff gave us a map to follow.
