South Pacific Resort & Spa Noosa
The room was spotless and practically invited us in. The facilities were good and the pool and spa were just outside. The staff at reception were all the things you want at check-in and during our stay. Very happy with the whole experience.

Clean but room probably needs some maintenance. Air ventilation grate near entrance hall requires some cleaning and probably repainting.
