We loved our stay at 'Fern Retreat.' If you are after a spotlessly clean and private property as a great base to explore Noosa from, this place is ideal. Compared to other properties we investigated, it was great value for money for a one week stay. The apartment is well equipped with everything you need. The super-king bed and quality linen made for a comfortable night's sleep. The apartment has a pleasant outlook through a floor to ceiling dining window that looks over a green belt. It has a lovely big shower, and having a washing machine and dryer was handy. Noosa Junction is a pleasant 5 minute stroll down a well lit concrete path through the bush, and we enjoyed eating out each night at the suggested casual eateries listed in the compendium. The beach is a leisurely 25 minute stroll away, even negotiating the hill in between.

Previous reviews mentioned noise from the apartment above. The presence of other occupants is apparent on occasion, but we didn't find this obtrusive at all. We didn't really use the balcony area other than to dry togs etc on the provided clothes rack, as the balcony was very small, the seating was not that comfortable and it only captured minimal sun. The balcony could also do with a sweep as each time we ventured out there, we got sandy feet!

The location was fantastic, only 2km's from Hastings street, I also loved that the car parking was really private and off the main road for our room. The room was super clean and modern and communication from host was excellent. Could not fault this accommodation.

I did ask for a late check out, but it was not available, perhaps this could be an option.
