About this property

Your tranquil escape by the lake. Minutes from Noosa and sunny coast beaches.

Welcome to Waiam Cottage – your peaceful escape by the lake.

This cosy, self-contained one-bedroom cottage offers the perfect blend of comfort, privacy, and connection to nature. Whether you’re here to unwind, explore Noosa and the Sunshine Coast, or simply enjoy a morning coffee while watching the birdlife, we hope you’ll feel completely at home.

Waiam Cottage is just a short stroll from the peaceful shores of Lake Weyba and only an easy drive to Noosa, northern Sunshine Coast beaches, and the famous Eumundi Markets.

NATURE & WILDLIFE
The natural setting here is something special. You’re staying in a small bird sanctuary, with around 30 native bird species spotted so far. In the evenings you may hear frogs calling, and you might also spot other local wildlife sharing the space.

LOCAL HIGHLIGHTS

Lake Weyba
A beautiful, ever-changing lake that shifts from glassy calm at sunrise to shimmering and lively in the afternoon breeze. Ideal for walking, kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, or watching kite surfers later in the day.

Flying West Coffee Roasters – Fellowship Drive, Doonan
A much-loved local café just minutes away. Funky, friendly, and known for excellent coffee and food.

The Captain’s Daughter – Peregian Beach
“Booze & Food” in a vibrant outdoor setting. Extremely popular and well worth the visit – especially for the burgers.

LOCAL BEACHES
• Noosa Main Beach – iconic, lively, and beautiful
• Peregian Beach – relaxed and less crowded
• Marcus, Castaways, and Sunshine Beaches – stunning alternatives with a more local feel

MARKETS
• Eumundi Markets (Saturdays) – famous, creative, and bustling (arrive early)
