Poolside Family Retreat, Near Hastings St

Positioned in beautiful Noosa Sound, this revamped property features the best of the area’s vaunted attractions, with lush greenery and sparkling blue waters. Yet these lovely drawcards don’t require any travel for visitors to access – they’re as close as your very own backyard. Sitting at the end of a cul-de-sac, the four-bedroom, fully airconditioned home was revamped a few years ago under the supervision of an architect. The care and attention to detail that went into the upgrade is obvious, from the new lifestyle hub to the designer furniture that elevates the living and sleeping spaces. The end result is a retreat that’s ideal for holidaying families, getaways with friends or any combination of the two.

With beautiful neutral colours grounding the interiors, the use of wooden and tropical accents and furnishings helps to evoke the feel of a lush island retreat. The ambience continues outdoors, where the fully landscaped grounds enjoy a Balinese aesthetic that is as inviting as it is colourful. Beyond them lies the spacious inground pool, overlooked by a sunlounging zone and complete with water feature. It’s an irresistible invitation to cool down on days when the mercury is climbing.

Inside, a spacious kitchen with island seating is the focal point of a floor plan that offers myriad living spaces, from a conversation set-up that positions guests to talk to home chefs as they work, to a formal dining zone and comfortable television and living area. All enjoy outlooks to the alfresco entertaining zone, with cool breezes filtered in through banks of glass.

The accompanying warmth of sunshine is also a gentle reminder that there’s plenty of coast to explore and enjoy, much of it within an easy stroll.

The cosmopolitan delights of Hastings St lie just a level, five-minute walk away, drawing visitors in to browse and buy, stroll and chat or linger over a meal at one of the precinct’s acclaimed local restaurants – many of which have a glorious ocean perspective. Mere footsteps beyond lie the golden sands and azure waters of Main Beach, a famous surfing break that invites visitors in to tackle the waves, the beauty of Little Cove and the lush green environs of Noosa National Park. You can do as much – or as little – as you like, knowing that at day’s end, it’s but a short stroll home to kick off your shoes, kick up your feet, relax and marvel at your fortune in finding the perfect place to enjoy a slice of paradise. We guarantee it won’t be your only visit.
