Noosa North Shore Retreat

Sunshine Coast


They've got everything here, from camping and permanent 'safari tents' to motel rooms and cottages. Ditch your bags, then head out for a paddle around the lake, a bushwalk or stay on site for a game of tennis or a splash in the swimming pools.

The retreat also houses the Great Sandy Bar & Restaurant (mains $20 to $28), open for lunch Friday to Sunday and for dinner Friday and Saturday year-round, and daily in peak holiday periods.
