Luxury holidays in Noosa
Visiting Noosa, the jewel in the Sunshine Coast’s crown, is a quintessentially Aussie affair, from koala-spotting in the national park to riding the superb surf. There are enough pristine beaches to keep you supine on sand all week, but if you can prise yourself away from the turquoise shores (no easy feat), there’s hiking to be had in the hinterland and an endless mangrove network to explore (one of the world’s two everglades). Bask in the glow of golden hour from your board or a beach bar, before heading to Hastings Street for trendy cafés, relaxed eateries and craft breweries. If sun, sea and surf weren’t your thing before, Noosa will make sure they are now…
When to go
Though December to May are the warmest months, they’re also the wettest. Winter (June to August) still has balmy temperatures in the day, just without the rain or crowds.
