The Islander Noosa Resort is a resort-style accommodation in Noosaville, the riverside part of Noosa, where Gympie Terrace runs along the Noosa River and fills with cafes, restaurants and boat hire. It is a practical, good-value base for families, couples and groups who want space, a pool and a laid-back atmosphere rather than the glamour of Hastings Street. From here the river, the Everglades cruises and kayak tours, and the sunset cruise departures are close by, and Noosa Main Beach is a short drive. Expect a relaxed tropical resort style with room types that can suit a variety of groups. Check the current room types and rates when you book.
Location and getting around
Noosaville sits along the river, a few kilometres west of Hastings Street and Noosa Main Beach. Gympie Terrace is the main strip, with cafes, restaurants, shops and a flat river path for walking and cycling. Many river cruises, kayak tours and boat hire operators are based along this stretch, which makes the area a convenient base for visitors planning Everglades or sunset cruise trips.
The beach and Hastings Street are a short drive, bus ride or bike ride away, and parking in Noosa Heads can be difficult in busy periods, so many guests prefer to base themselves here and travel in.
Check transport options when you book. The rooms and the feel: expect apartment-style or resort-style rooms with a relaxed, tropical atmosphere and facilities that suit families, including space to spread out and, in many cases, kitchen or laundry options. The pool and gardens are a natural part of the appeal in Queensland's warm weather.
Room types and layouts vary, so confirm the bed configuration, the kitchen facilities and the view when you book. The tone is casual and friendly, with the focus on getting out and enjoying the river, the beach and the national park.Who it suits and what to know: the resort suits families, groups of friends and couples who value space, a pool and a quieter river setting more than being on Hastings Street.
It also suits visitors planning to join the Noosa Everglades tours or K'gari day trips, since pickup points are often in this area or at central stops.
It is less suited to guests who want beachfront views, a fine-dining scene on the doorstep or a luxury atmosphere. Parking, minimum stays and facilities can change, so check when you book. Noosa is busy during school holidays and in the warmer months, so book early and compare dates for the best rates. Weekday stays outside school holidays often offer the best value.
