Alderly Apartment 9, Little Cove

When it comes to decorating, there’s a true art that lies in creating a seamless meld of the indoors and out. And with its stylish use of a colour palette derived directly from Mother Nature, this appealing Little Cove apartment delivers a beautiful taste of the tropics that both beguiles and bewitches. Tucked away in the reaches of lush Noosa National Park, the single-level three-bedroom property offers the best of all coastal worlds, being close to tourist hot spots, yet far enough away to carve out a slice of tranquillity. And with the delights of Little Cove bay just opposite, the pull of an ocean adventure is almost irresistible. With beautiful natural light spilling in through shuttered windows, the three bedrooms lie at the back of the floorplan, offering a sense of serenity enhanced by individual colour schemes, from an invitingly smooth chocolate to a vibrant mix of red and blue. The effect is one of sanctuary and invitation.

The focus on colour play continues through into the lifestyle hub, where an understated neutral palette and uncluttered design statement allow shades inspired by nature to take centre stage. Think vibrant greens drawn from the lush surrounding canopy, the bright teal of the ocean’s depths and the rich brown of national park. The combination encourages an easy flow from the open-plan space – with a well-equipped kitchen and spacious dining and lounge zones – to the enticing courtyard.

Built to encourage outdoor pleasures, the private yard features an undercover area complete with barbecue, table and chairs – perfect for alfresco meals, drinks and gatherings all-year round. The tinkle of a water feature among the tropical plantings enhances the sense of relaxation, while sunloungers offer a comfortable spot to chill, read, retreat or even close your eyes, basking in the cool of ocean breezes. The complex also features a communal pool, ideal for a cooling dip on a balmy day.

Taking full advantage of its prime position, the apartment offers myriad opportunities to go exploring, starting with the bay of Little Cove across the road and the famous surf breaks of Noosa. Take your board and tackle waves with the sun high in the sky overhead. For the more nature minded, a boardwalk guides guests into the heart of the national park, with its unique combination of flora and fauna. Be sure to take your camera, as there are fresh delights waiting around every tree trunk.

In the other direction, along a boardwalk, a short stroll leads into Hastings St, with its vibrant mix of restaurants and retailers. From here it’s but a few steps onto Main Beach, a dazzling panorama that’s both celebrated and desired worldwide. With its golden sands, turquoise waters, white caps and endless blue sky, it’s a vibrant landscape of colour that dazzles, soothes and takes the breath away, all in one. Drink in your fill, go swimming or strolling, relax with the family or simply shelter under the shade of a beach umbrella. Then head home, where the vibrant surrounds are a lovely reminder of the potent beauty that is nature’s rainbow. It’s colour therapy to the max.

We wish to advise that quieter construction work is ongoing within one of the apartment in the complex, potentially until July 3, 2024. Please note that we do not manage the unit undergoing renovation, so we cannot predict the level of disturbance between 9 am and 4 pm. The noisy demolition work is complete, but the remaining construction is taking longer than expected. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
