Alderly 8: Coastal Cove Retreat

The beautiful coastline and lush bushland of Noosa and surrounds are natural panoramas for visitors to enjoy in company with the world. But this chic Little Cove apartment offers something that’s equally as welcome – a slice of paradise that is both private and perfect. Nestled in the environs of Little Cove, the two-bedroom apartment stretches across a single level in a boutique accommodation complex surrounded by the tropical delights of Noosa National Park. With an enviable position opposite from Little Cove bay, it lies close enough to the area’s high-profile tourist attractions to make them easily accessible, but far enough away to ensure a sense of serenity.

With comfortable and tasteful furnishings throughout, the chic getaway offers a soothing ambience that brings together warming timbers, statement lighting design, a subtle interplay of colour and pattern and a clever meld of texture. The bedrooms are positioned together for a sense of retreat, with both havens enjoying views to lush tropical surrounds that allow morning sunshine to serve as your alarm clock. Down the hall lies the apartment’s open-plan lifestyle hub, which offers space and style to savour.

The well-equipped kitchen, zoned by a striking timber feature panel, comes with everything eager cooks could want in turning fresh local produce into amazing meals. These can be served at casual and comfy bench seating or at the adjacent dining table, which finds its place beside a vibrant beach-themed artwork that serves as inspiration for ideas on how to fill your holidays.

The adjacent lounge area is a welcoming place to gather at any time of the day, whether you sit down of a morning to plan how the next few hours will unfold or grab a seat in the evening to share the highlights of your day. A set of shuttered sliding glass doors leads through to a small private garden area, which is superbly furnished for fun and feasting, from sunloungers through to an undercover zone complete with barbecue, table and chairs.

Across the complex, features include a communal pool and manicured gardens. There’s also easy access to the coast’s best attractions and amenities, from popular surfing breaks and the low-key charms of Little Cove bay to the natural wonders of Noosa National Park. In the other direction, Hastings St and Main Beach are must-visits for any holidaymaker, from golden sands fringing turquoise waters to flavoursome cuisine that shows why Noosa’s cuisine scene is so widely acclaimed. It’s an intoxicating mix of retail and restaurants, surf and shallows, people-watching and promenading. Just remember to take your camera along, as these are memories you’ll want to capture for a lifetime. All yours to enjoy in a slice of paradise both public and oh-so private. Can life get any better than this?
