About this property

The Shack Noosa Heads

This 3 bedroom beach house has been designed by one of Australia's young gun architects to offer a unique and secluded retreat in close proximity to the famed beaches and conservation areas of Noosa Heads. The house has now been featured in the publications "A Place in the Sun", " 21st Century Architecture- Beach Houses", "Monument" and "Best Abodes" and was awarded a commendation in the Regional Architecture Awards.

Located in Settler's cove, overlooking a conservation area bordering noosa sound but only seconds from the shops of noosa junction and a few minutes drive to either hastings street or sunshine beach.

The design captures every breeze on the enormous entertaining deck which floats above the ground providing tree top viewing of the the spectacular native birdlife (which like to visit guests) and other wildlife. At night, the external lighting transforms the architectural features of the house and surrounding vegetation.

The house has been designed to cater for quiet family groups who want a holiday house that complements the ebb and flow of a relaxed beach holiday but can also provide that special destination for lasting memories.

So Close to Everything

The house has been sited to take maximum advantage of retained vegetation and the nearby conservation areas. The adjacent walking/bicycle path can have you to the public jetty fronting noosa sound in a few brief minutes and further on to hasting street and noosa main beach and the national park or to Noosaville and the sunday markets and riverfront restaurants.

The house features a luxury kitchen, dining room, powder room, living area/sleepout and entertainment deck under a spectacular vaulted ceiling with the master bedroom/ensuite on the same level.

At ground level there is a second bathroom, laundry and separate toilet with a guest room and bunkroom and private decks and verandahs and gas BBQ.

All finishes have been carefully selected to make cleaning a breeze.

We have stayed in Noosa housing (PetFriendly) by far the easiest house we have rented.

The beautiful bush lands, very quiet peaceful soundings, central to Hastings street, our favourite place the Noosa river, would stay here again. Thank you Mike for been very helpful with helping our stay more comfortable.

Great location, amazing hosts

I did a long stay here with husband and toddler. Overall the shack is a great, spacious holiday house with awesome kitchen and relaxing outside deck area. Can be tricky with little ones and the external stairwell linking to downstairs but otherwise the place has everything you need and in easy walking distance to the junction. Mike and Sim are probably the best hosts you’d ever get, communicative and super responsive. Would reccomend!

Great spot for a family get-away

Mike and Sim were great hosts - easy going and prompt with answering all our pre-holiday questions. The house is really comfortable, and we especially loved the open deck area for lazing around in the breeze. Very interesting layout - encouraging both gathering and separateness.

Had a great stay.

Mike was a great host and replied to all our questions quickly. The house was very clean and well equipped. The footpath almost opposite the driveway made the stroll into Noosa Junction a breeze. We loved checking out the wide range of cafes and bars - IMO better than Hastings St. A great place to explore!

Beautiful family retreat

This property provided the relaxation and space we had hoped for, catering very well to family members spanning 3 generations, as well as our 11 year old pug dog. Separate sleeping areas provided individual space whilst the expansive deck, kitchen and living areas brought us all together. The spacious and well stocked kitchen allowed us to prepare Christmas lunch - no small feat! Only a 5 minute walk to Noosa Junction shops (via pathway opposite) and a 5 minute drive to Hastings street. Lovely quiet street. Thanks Mike and Sim for a fabulous stay. Amanda.

Lovely setting

We enjoyed our stay at the shack. We did find, though, that the house didn’t flow well due to the layout. We had not realised that there was no internal connection between upstairs and down. The kitchen was lovely and the set down lounge room very cosy. We had to do a lot of cleaning of the deck area as it was very dusty and the seats were covered in leaves. I think that it had probably been vacant for a while but it made it uncomfortable to walk through all the dust. Making sure the outdoor deck area is clean upon arrival would make it so much nicer. I would recommend it as a relaxing stay in a lovely setting.

Beautiful space.

We had a lovely short break at The Shack, lovely house and great decking area, in one of the most beautiful bush setting,and a very short walk into the shops. However with small children we found the layout of the house unsuitable, being that the bedrooms are downstairs and the stair case is outdoors, so you had to retire early with the children. Having said that for adults the home is fantastic.

The Ultimate Retreat!

From the minute we arrived at ‘The Shack’ we were nothing short of delighted. The house is beautifully designed, immaculately clean and well presented. Compared to the many hotels and holiday apartments we have stayed in, The Shack has some of the best amenities we have experienced. The location is perfect – walk just 2 minutes to Noosa Junction, and about 10 to 15 minutes minutes to Hastings St. We drove to all the other hot spots – Sunshine Beach, Noosa River, etc. – all within about 5 minutes. The central, fully shaded deck was the perfect location to host quiet family get togethers and offered great views over both the gardens and Noosa national park. The upper living areas and master bedroom are a wonderful retreat – the separation allowed the adults to continue to enjoy each others company whilst the kids were sound asleep downstairs. To top it all off, the hosts were extremely accommodating; fitting us in at the last minute and tending to our every need throughout our stay to make our first time in Noosa an absolutely memorable one. We have already decided to re book the home for a larger family holiday later in the year, and we can’t wait to be back.
