Fairshore, Apartment 15

Sleek, stylish and elegant in design, this chic Noosa Heads apartment is all about seizing those big and small moments that transform a coastal holiday into an unforgettable retreat. And it all comes down to choice. Sitting within the stylish Fairshore complex in the very heart of the coast, the two-bedroom property encourages visitors to mould their holiday story according to personal taste and preference.

Love the water but not always the salt? You can split your time between the complex pool and glorious Laguna Bay. Keen to cook at home and keep it casual? Options include your spacious entertainer’s kitchen and the communal barbecue zone. Dying to crack the spine of the latest blockbuster by your favourite author? You’re spoiled for choice with places to read. It’s all about choices of the very best kind.

Designed to cater for mix-and-match groupings of friends and family, the apartment is positioned a floor up from vibrant Hastings St on one side, giving it easy access to the precinct’s thriving buzz but a little space from its action. On the other side the delights of Main Beach play out in dazzling blue style. Between the two attractions, there is plenty to enjoy.

With interiors that flow crisp white into buttery timber and pair pastel blues with rustic tones and textures, the overall mood of the apartment is private haven. This allows artworks and accents to star, from vibrant beach scenes on the walls to ocean-themed patterns in the comfortable bedrooms. These spaces are cleverly positioned to allow for quiet time and contemplation, ensuring that artful blend of good company and ‘me time’.

Moving into the heart of the layout, an open-plan design draws warm sunlight and cooling breezes through the living spaces. For creative chefs, the fully-equipped kitchen can inspire a trip to the markets for fresh local ingredients. Meals are easily served at a stylish dining setting. The adjacent lounge offers a pick of seating and is furnished to evoke the ambience of the great outdoors. It’s a beautiful way to link the interiors with the magnificent panorama right outside.

Stepping through sliding doors and timber shutters, a private patio zoned by a glass balustrade is a wonderful spot to eat, relax, read, chat or even pour yourself a cup of coffee. It’s also the jumping-off point for the great outdoors, including a beautiful communal pool zone – spa included – alfresco barbecue set-up and emerald lawn. Direct access leads out to beautiful Main Beach, whose soft golden sands fringe the waters of Laguna Bay. After watching the action from your apartment, the chance to get among the action is all but irresistible, whether you swim, stroll or hunt for seashells.

Equally appealing are the local surf scene and lush green canopy of Noosa National Park, with its walking routes galore. Or, for a touch of the cosmopolitan, you can explore the retail and restaurants of Hastings St. If circumstances permit, book in for a five-star eating experience and discover why the area’s foodie scene is so acclaimed.

When you’re ready to retire – or maybe hit the complex gym – the real beauty of Fairshore comes to the fore, with access to your apartment just a minute or two away. You could even time your arrival to see the sun push its last gasp of warmth across the horizon as another day in paradise comes to an end. It’s a small moment, but oh-so unforgettable. And, as they say, memories are made of this.
