Upper Hastings Street 80, Apartment 1

This stunning three-bedroom property doesn’t just capture beautiful views, it capitalises on them, with a stunning rooftop terrace and a design oriented towards a luxuriant mesh of the outdoors and in. Nestled away from the bustle of Noosa’s main tourist hotspots, but still within an easy walk, the duplex makes its home in peaceful Little Cove. Stretching out across multiple levels, it’s an ideal home away from home for families and friends to set up a holiday base. And with only a single neighbour attached, you’re guaranteed privacy in this little slice of paradise.

With a lift included for accessibility, the property centres its bedrooms – including the master suite with spa – on the entry level. Each one enjoys direct access to an expansive undercover balcony/terrace, furnished to encourage dining and entertaining and stretching alongside a private inground pool that is long enough for laps and features sunloungers on its tiled surrounds.

Another balcony off the first floor offers further spots for alfresco catch-ups and conversation, looking out to the property’s lush surrounds. Upstairs, the duplex’s lifestyle amenities flow across an open-plan space that incorporates a fully equipped kitchen with breakfast bar, a dining hub and a spacious lounge zone. With an artful use of glass, wallpaper and art alongside a neutral palette set off by rich timbers, bright colours and lively patterns, it’s an area as beautiful in décor as it is welcoming in ambience.

Yet the ultimate visual delights lie up a set of stairs, which ascend to the duplex’s jewel in the crown – a spacious furnished rooftop deck with sensational panoramic views. From breakfast through to dinner and beyond, the open-air zone offers an ever-changing spectacle of sunlight and scenery, moonlight and mountain. Cast your eye over sweeping views of the Noosa River, gaze towards Mt Cooroy in the distance, look for glints of sunlight over the ocean or start your morning with an early coffee as the day creeps up the horizon. It’s also inspiration to take a wander down to what you’ve been looking out – and explore what the area has to offer.

Whether you’re seeking relaxation or entertainment, everything you could want is close by, from the delights of Little Cove Beach and Noosa National Park to the golden sands of Main Beach and the retail and restaurants of iconic Hastings St.

Swim and surf, browse and buy, walk and wander. There’s plenty to see, yet nowhere you need to be in a hurry. The only deadline you could possibly set yourself may be the sunset, which draws you home to that magnificent rooftop deck to watch the glorious profusion of pinks and yellows accompany daylight below the horizon. It’s a spot made not just to capture the views but capitalise on them as well. Make sure you embrace your prime position.
