Great place yo stay with the family. Kids loved the properties grounds and all the wildlife around they could spot. Room we stayed in at the Lakeview side are a great setup for taking kids away.

They don't tell you that you need to take a ferry to access this property, and the ferry costs $10 each way. So not an ideal place to use as a base if you are wanting to see the Sunshine Coast. Also, meals not available all the time, so be prepared to rough it a bit. When meals are available, they're great.

This is a very peaceful setting with a good walking access to the lake and the beach just a short drive away. You can also walk to the beach through the bush that takes about half an hour. The two bedroom cabin was clean and had a good aircon and basic facilities for cooking. There was no washing machine but there is a washing sink for handwashing and a washing line behind the property. There is a bistro and a bar that we used one night for a meal. There is also a shop in the same complex and that provides basic supplies plus some fishing gear as well. It seemed the bistro, bar, shops building was quite new and nice.

For where the property was in the national park area, some of the limitations were expected, like it was very isolated and dark (due to low lighting requirements in the park). It would have been nice for the restaurant and bar to be open on weekdays instead of just weekends, since that was the only place to get food anywhere nearby without crossing back over to the south shore. The convenience store in the resort was nice but a bit overpriced. The room was nice but there were too few outlets. Also my tv remote didn't work, and I never figured out how to work it on my stay. The reception was not possible to reach after hours with any inconveniences or questions, so I wouldn't give it a 10/10 for service.

Great apartment. Nice staff. Restaurant poor.

The rooms we booked were great. 2 bedroom apartment style with kitchen facilities. The rooms were very big, very clean and comfortable. The pool area was nice. The pool itself didn't have any rails to assist with getting in/out, and there were sharp areas on the steps of the pool. My Mum cut her foot quite badly on the sharp rocks, and had huge difficulty getting out of the pool as no rail. We were very disappointed with the onsite restaurant. We had paid for late checkout out which gave us lunch vouchers. We went to have lunch at the restaurant only to find that of all the food (about 30 dishes) on the menu, they were only serving pizza or fish & chips. That's it. Soo disappointed as we were looking forward to steak or salad, or anything fresh. They told us that they don't really serve lunches on the weekends, and that they didn't have fresh food available. Couldn't believe it considering this is Noosa area, and not far from civilisation. To have fresh food is not hard to do. And to have more than pizza and fish and chips (we got the last fish n chips) should be mandatory for a restaurant. The staff were all nice, but it was disappointing. I am gluten and dairy free. And the pizza and batter of the fish and chips certainly contained gluten. We would go there again, but will bring our own food, or ring and confirm that the restaurant is actually operational (something you shouldn't have to think to do).
