With a tiled alfresco area, separate courtyard ringed with lush greenery, this modern Noosaville apartment is designed to make the most of the coast’s breezy and balmy year-round climate. Stretching across two storeys, the two-bedroom retreat, known as Noosa Sound Resort, lies within a quiet crescent to ensure a welcome sense of privacy and serenity. Cooled by sea breezes and warmed by golden sunlight, it offers a taste of the tropics in the heart of paradise.

Ideally set out to host small groups, the retreat thoughtfully sits its bedrooms upstairs. Spacious in size and serene in their decorative palette they create a haven for finding ‘me time’ among the packed schedules of a coastal holiday. Downstairs, the lifestyle hub offers ample room for leisure and pleasure, stretching across the indoors and out.

A modern kitchen is well equipped for home chefs who delight in exploring the kind of culinary creativity that a holiday leaves more time to indulge. Visit the markets to stock up on the freshest local ingredients, fill the property with enticing aromas and then take your pick of spots to dine, from casual stools at the kitchen counter to the dedicated dining room or the alfresco entertaining zone outside, which is furnished with a table and chairs.

Flowing on, the artful use of timber and textiled accents draws the gaze through the downstairs to a chic and comfy lounge space, enlivened by touches of greenery. A vibrant teal couch is the perfect spot to relax with a cuppa for a chat or the remote control in hand for a night in front of the television. Glass doors bathe the space in warm sunshine, leading through to the multi-purpose backyard, where lush lawn gives the kids the chance to kick a ball around, an outdoor shower is a great spot to rinse off after a swim in the complex pool or the river, and the alfresco zone is a great spot for coffee or to plan out your adventures across the wider coast. Here, the options are endless.

From your private haven, it’s just metres to the emerald waters of beautiful Noosa Sound and an easy and flat walk to Hastings St and Noosaville, boasting myriad places to browse, buy, dine in or sit down for a drink. Go for a surf, build a sandcastle, rent a stand up paddleboard, explore nature or enjoy the area’s amazing local food scene as you tick off names such as Main Beach and Noosa National Park.

Then, when you’ve had your fill, it’s an easy walk back home, to bask in sunshine, rejoice in each other’s company and enjoying the cool breezes fresh off the ocean. A true touch of the tropics in paradise.
