Family Retreat: Pool, Rooftop Noosa Panorama

A seamless and sophisticated melding of the great outdoors and beautiful interiors is the hallmark of this serene duplex in the heart of Noosa Heads. Perched up on Noosa Hill, where it carves out a position among a verdant canopy of green, the four-bedroom property with a rooftop terrace has panoramic views that stretch from the National Park across the beautiful ocean and out to distant mountains. It’s the ideal set-up for a catchup with good friends, a couple in search of alone time or a loving family keen on a break from their everyday hustle and bustle.

With an array of glass doors, windows and louvres bathing the duplex in cooling breezes and delightful sunshine, the beauty of nature is further reflected in the use of rich timbers, soft neutrals, natural textures and vibrant pops of colour in modern plantation décor. As practical as it is pretty, highlights of the two-level floor plan include dual master bedrooms, one on each floor each with their own ensuite.  The master bedroom upstairs is positioned away from the other sleeping quarters to ensure a sense of retreat and relaxation. An adjacent private balcony is the perfect spot for an early morning coffee or evening nightcap.

Across the duplex, other outdoor spaces include a downstairs bedroom terrace complete with expansive daybed, covered upstairs deck and alfresco entertaining zone with barbecue, while the in-ground pool makes its home within a timber deck primed for lazy days in and out of the water. All spaces are furnished for comfort and conversation, ensuring complete relaxation. But that’s not where the adventure has to end.

With the heart of Noosa lying down the hill, it’s a short walk to the area’s tourist hub, where Laguna Bay transforms from a lovely view into a tactile experience for all to enjoy. Feel the golden sands of Main Beach underfoot as the crystal clear waters lead your eye out to the distant horizon, pull up a towel and soak in the views or dive into the action, whether you’re keen to swim, snorkel or even try the waves of the surfing break. For more energetic visitors, Noosa National Park is close by, with ample opportunities to wander, walk and explore.

Nearby Hastings St is tailor made for visitors, with enticing retail outlets and a stream of restaurants whose use of the freshest local produce has lifted them to the top of their game. It’s a mouth-watering spot to head for a family feast or a night of five-star indulgence backgrounded by the inky waters of the bay.

In the other direction from the duplex lies the Junction, where amenities include a cinema complex, more retail offerings and additional dining outlets. Take your time choosing a cuisine for dinner or decide instead to eat at home, where the gourmet kitchen has all the latest mod cons for food preparation, flowing from an open-plan lifestyle hub that brings everyone together, from breakfast at the island bench to lunch indoors or out and even a night around the television.

All the elements for the ultimate holiday are right here. Your task, quite simply, is to relax and retreat, explore and enjoy.
