Top Sunshine Coast Hotel Reviews

Noosa Lakes Resort

Noosa Lakes Resort

10/10 Excellent
"Parking maybe a bit narrow for big cars with bikes/kayaks. But location is ideal. Easy to go anywhere. Shared laundry between the two units up and downstairs is great. I wish it had an air-fryer. It would be much easier to prep/ heat up some food. But I do understand the concern about fire safety. Bathroom has a great size comparing with bedroom. Very nice and clean. When there are visitors upstairs, it could get quite noisy. No insulation so we could hear all the footsteps and talking. Many great range of takeaway shops in walking distance. Overall we still had a fantastic experience during our visit of Noosa."

Novotel Sunshine Coast Resort

Novotel Sunshine Coast Resort

10/10 Excellent
"Our stay at the Novotel was fantastic, the older rooms are tired and in needing for a upgrade however the grounds and facilities make up for it. The new rooms are beautiful, spacious and worth the extra money. The staff were so helpful and lovely, activities for the kids were thoughtful and well planned. The only downside to this property is the food. The food selection was minimal and there were next to no vegetables offered. You are a 30 min walk to the closest IGA or other cafe so just something to consider if you don't have a car."
