About Noosa River

The perfect paradise in sub-tropical Queensland

…and only 90 minutes drive north of Brisbane. Here at Noosa we have beautiful beaches, pristine waters and everything you need to enjoy an unforgettable holiday in a place free of ugly high-rise buildings.

When you stay in Noosa you are only a short distance from beaches, national parks and other great natural wonders. You’ll see koalas and exotic bird life. You can fish from the beaches, rivers or even go offshore with a fishing charter that will take you to all the best spots. Noosa is for everyone who wants to get away from the rush and bustle of city life and escape into a world where the sun shines, the birds sing and life goes at an entirely different pace.

Visit the Noosa River and explore the lakes, tributaries and complex river system. You will be constantly thrilled and your mind will be enthralled by the vast amount of knowledge you will soon pick up as you continue on your Noosa adventure. Imagine renting a hire boat or even houseboat for a few hours to weeks as you enjoy days swimming and catching fish, only returning to shore to buy necessities.
