We had a beautiful stay here at the lodge. It's clean and nicely decorated. It's location is stunning and peaceful. Lots of wild life and the lake is a minute walk away. Bring your mozzie spray though! The kayaks were a fun activity.We were only here for a weekend but we would have loved to stay longer! The host brought us a nice bottle as Champagne as it was mother's day and as we were there with our mother's group, it was much appreciated! The Eumundi markets are a short drive away as well as many beautiful beaches. We can defenitily recommend this stay and we will certainly come back!

Highly recommend if you are looking for private relaxing getaway close to nature with family or friends. The property has everything you need to chill out plus access to activities to keep those that wish to be active happy. Could have stayed longer than 2 nights and plan to book it again to enjoy with my children. The property manager was also very personable at check in and check out time.

Tranquility at the Lake

We had the best time at the Lake Weyba Noosa Lodge, everything we needed was there. Very comfortable beds, had the best night's sleep so peaceful. Our treasured memory will be standing in the lake (the water was warm) and watching the sunset over the mountains and walking back to our cottage with the kangaroos all around us and two curious kookaburras escorting us home, unforgetable!!! Thank you Rob for a great stay.

Stunning location

Amazing wildlife, with fantastic birdlife and kangaroo mob. Every morning one could just listen to the evocative dawn chorus., and at night, watch flocks of birds arriving to roost. Free use of canoes on the lake was lovely and the whole area was just teeming with wildlife. Owner really friendly and helpful. Would recommend to anyone.

Perfect weekend away

This weekend cottage near Lake Weyba is an absolute dream! Super quiet, surrounded by nature, and you’ll even have kangaroos hopping by. Kayaking on the lake—it’s so peaceful and beautiful. If you’re after a relaxing escape away from the noise, this place is perfect! I loved waking up to the sounds of nature! The cottage itself is cute and very comfortable with everything you need. Thank you for providing everything from shampoo to olive oil - it makes it so much easier! We will be returning to this gem!

Fantastic stay!

Kangaroos are there everyday! They provided lots of toilet paper, soaps shampoos etc and condiments and tea coffee etc. A complimentary bottle of wine was a lovely touch. I was worried we would be cold but it was cosy and warm and heaps of extra bedding options there. Modern fittings inside. It was winter but we still kayaked at the lake with the kids and the water is only 10cm deep for a long way out so it felt okay that there were no life jackets. Would love to stay again!

Different view on the Sunshine Coast

We were really surprised on the diversity of the Sunny Coast only 5 min away from the coastal beach. This property sits next in a quiet area next to a huge inland lake next to Noosa. The house has kept its original charm from old farming days and is surrounded by wildlife. Rob the host was fantastic, he offered us kayaks and activities as well as gave us a run down of the region. We recommend for people who want a quiet getaway and different perspective of the Sunshine Coast.
