Spectacular view, fantastic location

I will sorely miss this beautiful apartment with it's early morning view of sunrise over the ocean. The apartment is well equipped, far better than most places I have stayed on my Australia trip, it's a short (but steep) walk to an amazing extensive sandy beach, great for surfing and within walking distance off the Noosa Heads nature reserve.(if you're fit)

Great view

Awesome view to see whales right from the balcony. Sunshine beach is a quieter area which suited us fine. Shops are a 15 minute walk along the beach. Only complaint would be Check in and check out. traveling into town to pick up and drop off keys was not ideal. A key box at the apartment would be a lot better. Will stay again.

Location location location

Although the property is a little dated, the views are sensational, the location to the village shops, restaurants & surf club is within walking distance and the beach has several access paths depending on which direction you want to walk or swim. One small negative is that the bedroom window furnishings were dated and broken which allowed quite a lot of light in overnight and would make the rooms hot in the Summer.

Property manager issues

Great location and lovely area with lovely views. Property suitable for our requirements. A bit dusty and some dead insects needed sweeping off the floor but otherwise all good on arrival. We found issues with showers head in main bathroom and cold tap to shower. Also the hairdryer did not work. I reported the issues immediately and was advised that a plumber had been called. When we left the property the issues had not been resolved. I reported it again when we dropped the keys off and was told by the receptionist that she didn’t have any knowledge of the problems. I mentioned the above in a review-to Laguna property and was advised that a miscommunication had occurred in the office and that the issues had now been rectified.

My husband and I had the pleasure of staying in this lovely apartment, the views are absolutely wonderful, looking out toward the ocean. The proximity to shops, cafes and surf club was an added bonus, we had no need to drive, as it was a short walk into town from our accommodation. The helpful, friendly staff at Laguna Real Estate were also a pleasure to deal with. We couldn't be happier with our stay!
