Food scene
I absolutely love my food, so I have included a variety of restaurants and cuisine ranging in prices.
This is a perfect day out. Go up the range and explore the hinterland. There are many great restaurants and cafes up there. Life’s a little slower and more wound back up on the range!

Another great hike/walk, this is definitely less crowded and more popular with locals. Grab your enclosed shoes and head up this little mountain. Its probably 30-40 mins one way.

This is a great day out, Noosa National Park is absolutely stunning! Noosa has some great surf when its big enough, but even when its small you have to take a walk around the national park. Head towards Hells Gates and along the way stop off at the 'Fair Pools'. Search the location on instagram, its a pretty cool little spot.

Tipps für Reisende
Verkehrsmittel
Hire a car
The public transport on the Coast isnt amazing. There are buses that will definitely get you from A to B, but dont expect it to be anything like a major city.
Hiring a car would be the best way to get around for sure. That way you can make the most of your time here. With the location of our unit you can definitely get around to most places on foot or by our bikes.
Was einpacken?
Beach wear
The Coast is very laid back, so if you want to fit in and look like a local then just bring some casual beachy attire. Of course there are nice restaurants to get dressed up for, so throw in a nice outfit or two. Bring your enclosed shoes to go on a hike and your flip flops or thongs for the beach!
