Discover Two Sides of Noosa: Bush & Beach Retreats
Noosa offers a rare duality; the calm of bush and beach on the North Shore, and the vibrant coastal energy of Hastings Street and Main Beach. For travellers keen to explore this contrast, Senses Noosa North Shore and No 1 Hastings present two distinct but equally compelling stays, each appealing to a different kind of mood, pace and experience.
Set on 40 acres of native bushland on the North Shore, Senses offers a peaceful retreat that blends space, privacy, and comfort with easy access to Noosa’s attractions. Guests stay in architect-designed houses ranging from cosy 2-bedroom homes to spacious 4-bedroom options, ideal for couples, families, or groups. Amenities include pools, a spa, tennis courts, BBQ areas, and a games room, while bushland walks, wildlife, and nearby beaches provide a slower, nature-focused pace. A short car ferry across the Noosa River enhances the sense of escape, making Senses a flexible, tranquil base for enjoying Noosa’s natural beauty.
Perched on the hillside above Laguna Bay, No 1 Hastings offers sweeping coastal and hinterland views, with apartments and penthouses featuring terraces and balconies to capture breezes and light. Just steps from Main Beach, coastal walking trails, and the boutiques and cafes of Hastings Street, it’s an ideal base for easy beach access and exploring Noosa’s social and dining scene. Accommodation ranges from 1–4 bedroom apartments, with open layouts, private outdoor spaces, and modern interiors. Onsite amenities include a heated pool, spa, sauna, gym, secure parking, and inclined lifts for accessibility. The newly refurbished penthouse, in particular, offers an elevated experience, combining modern luxury with stunning coastal views for a premium stay.
Whichever direction you take, both Senses Noosa North Shore and No 1 Hastings offer a distinct way to experience Noosa at its best. From quiet immersion in nature to a stay at the centre of the action, your choice simply shapes the rhythm of your trip. Select the stay that aligns with how you want your Noosa holiday to feel, and plan from there.
