"Stayed at Noosa Heads Pool escape 2br Lovely light filled apartment generous size and great leafy outlook from 2 balcony’s. Didn’t use the pool but it looked clean and had 6 day beds around it. Awesome location. Close walk to the beach but be prepared for a hill on the way home. Bus stop very close into Hastings st or Noosaville and the Noosa river area. Car spot tight for a small SUV but very good to have. Laundry facilities and storage room great. 4 small flights of stairs to the apartment....
