Fairshore, Apartment 38

This charming Noosa Heads apartment brings together all the things that make the coast so famous, from spectacular beaches and lush national parkland to elegant dining and high-end shopping. It’s the sort of place where you stay for one week, wish you had booked two and vow to return. Sitting in the heart of iconic Hastings St, where it claims a spot on the second level of the Fairshore resort, the one-bedroom getaway is perfect for couples looking to embrace rest and relaxation. With a charming beachy style, it seamlessly melds the indoors and out. The end result is a haven for serenity and a launchpad for adventure.

Stretching out from the bedroom, the property’s combination of texture and colour creates a wholely unique look and feel, from rustic-toned floor tiles that evoke the outdoors to crisp whites, nautical-inspired stripes and artwork that beckons you to take a closer look. It makes for a feeling of cohesion, especially in the open-plan lifestyle hub that lies at the heart of the apartment.

With a massive well-equipped kitchen that has room galore for plenty of chefs, meal times are as easy as you want them to be. Serve them at the casual bench seating or opt to sit up at the zoned dining space. Afterwards, if a night on the sofa beckons, move across to the lounge, which is perfectly set up for cosy nights in front of the television, perhaps with a champagne at hand.

From here it’s just a step past sliding glass doors to the apartment’s ultimate showstopper – a furnished balcony for which words could never do justice.

Framed by glass to spotlight the scenery, the undercover space offers much more than simply a view. Rather, it’s an invitation to drink in an unparalleled slice of paradise. Think the azure waters of the ocean fringed by golden-tinged sands, the ruffle of a cool breeze through tropical plantings and the lush green canopy of national park and hinterland. Bewitching and bedazzling, it will draw you outside time and again, from the comfort of a sunlounger to the chance for dinner against a beautiful backdrop. It also overlooks the complex’s inground pool and spa, emerald lawn and alfresco barbecue zone, while other communal amenities include a gym.

Accessed via a private gate, the delights of Main Beach down below are a must-do for any visitor, whether you take a towel and beach brolly to spread out on the sand or don your bathers for a swim or surf. Other natural adventures include the walking routes through Noosa National Park and the aquatic delights of the nearby Noosa River, which are a surefire way to build up an appetite for Hastings St.

Celebrated as a cosmopolitan icon, this attractive precinct is home to a beguiling mix of retailers, but for many visitors, its restaurant scene is the true enticement, with local chefs bringing incredible creativity to the freshest local ingredients. Book in for a table overlooking the beach and you really have the best of both worlds. Indulge all your senses, cherish your time in paradise and mentally plan your next vacation. We guarantee you’ll be back.
