Billed as the most exotic hideaway Noosa has to offer, and with a location to back up the claim, this beautiful retreat offers a chance to expand your horizons, in every sense of the word. Nestled on the first point around from Hastings St, the absolute beachfront property offers proximity to the cosmopolitan delights of the world-famous retail precinct with the serenity of its own sun-drenched beach. It’s the joy of the everyday lost with a focus on paradise found.

Decked out in a soothing palette that draws heavily on the sea and shore for inspiration, with stone and timber for accents, the property has been designed across multiple levels for maximum pleasure. Downstairs, a kitchen spacious enough to thrill any gourmand seamlessly connects with the lounge room and flows out to the spacious outdoor deck, which serves as the alfresco hub of the home. Claim a sunlounger for a morning of not doing much at all, walk the few short steps down to the shared pool, gather around the table to plan your day’s adventure or fire up the barbecue for a seafood feast enjoyed in five-star surrounds. The choice is all about you.

Yet this spacious living zone is so much more than simply a place to gather, dine and laugh. It also serves as an observatory, a living breathing art gallery and a front row seat to Mother Nature’s evolution under the warmth of the sun and the starlight shelter of the night-time sky. You could easily lose yourself for a minute or much, much longer. And in an era where it sometimes feels as if every second is scheduled, that’s a rare privilege.

Cognisant of the need for privacy and community, the bedrooms in the property are carefully spread out across the levels. With eye-catching artworks, stunning Laguna Bay views and décor straight out of an island dream, they enhance the atmosphere of holiday and haven. But the real treasure of this retreat is the one outside the window – sheltered Little Cove Beach, whose tree-fringed surrounds are the stuff of daydreams and desire. Unspoiled by the rush of crowds, this beach transforms with the rise and fall of the tides, from a swimming pool and snorkelling haunt to the perfect spot for exploring rock pools.

It’s enough to keep you close to home, but when the desire to explore does spark, the choices are extraordinary. In one direction lie the lush canopies and landscapes of Noosa National Park, while the opposite route leads through to Noosa’s Main Beach and Hastings St.

Indulge your interests and marvel at your good fortune, whether you’re body surfing, bushwalking, boutique hunting or simply dining in style at one of the restaurants that have helped shape Noosa’s stellar culinary reputation. The only limit, as they say, is the horizon.
