RACV Noosa Resort
Well setup for families with great pool area, games room, soft play etc. Buffet breakfast was nice, otherwise the food was average. King suite was comfy and spacious, but kitchen was too basic to cook in. Overall great for families and staff very friendly.

Noosa Lakes Resort
Lovely resort, the bedroom upstairs was too hot to sleep in, we ended up sleeping on the lounge room. Nice pool with bbq facilities and short walk to Tewantin.

South Pacific Resort & Spa Noosa
I had an amazing time at South Pacific Resort & Spa. I asked for a quiet apartment and that’s what I got. A spacious, beautiful, luxurious apartment with everything one might need.
