Noosa Haven, Apartment 12

If ever a destination could lay claim to the description of ‘beautiful one day, perfect the next’, it’s this sophisticated Noosaville apartment. Making its home within the absolute water frontage of Noosa Haven, the three-bedroom property is the stuff of holiday dreams, with a professional refurbishment that artfully marries form and function. Throw in high-end facilities and the pristine environs of Noosa Sound and the stage is set for an unforgettable stay with your nearest and dearest.

Positioned on the top floor of the boutique complex, which overlooks an inlet of the Noosa River, the apartment is decorated with sophisticated subtlety. Rustic accents, natural textures and rich timbers bring warmth to an understated colour palette that includes elegant expanses of grey and white through the living areas. In the bedrooms, pops of colour create an inviting ambience for moments of rest and recreation. Then, once you’re refreshed, you can rejoin your friends and/or family in the lifestyle hub, where the open-plan design facilitates easy living and entertaining.

From the well-equipped kitchen – offering island seating for casual meals – the space flows through to a dining zone complete with round table and chairs and then a chic, comfortable lounge area. Stylish furnishings set a sleek tone across the space, complemented by signature lighting and bold artworks. However, the true star of the visual show is the magnificent outdoor perspective that captures sunlight glinting on the water, the cloudless blue of the sky and the lush green surrounds for which the coast is known.

Outside, accessed through sliding glass doors, the apartment’s spacious, partly undercover terrace is set up as a relaxing alfresco entertaining zone, with a barbecue, table and chairs creating an ideal environment for grilling and gathering. The space looks down to an emerald expanse of lawn perfect for kicking a ball around, plus a communal jetty and sandy beach that are a launching pad for all kinds of aquatic adventures. There’s also a new pool area and beautifully landscaped gardens.

Positioned for easy access to all the coast has to offer, the apartment is an easy 20-minute level walk to the tourist enclave that encompasses the cosmopolitan Hastings St precinct, the lush environs of Noosa National Park and the iconic golden sands and azure waters of Main Beach. Also close to hand are the retail and award-winning restaurants of Quamby Place and the riverside delights of Gympie Terrace. There’s so much to do, and all in such easy reach. As the saying goes: ‘Beautiful one day, perfect the next.’
