Welcome to Waiam Cottage – your peaceful escape by the lake.

This cosy, self-contained one-bedroom cottage offers the perfect blend of comfort, privacy, and connection to nature. Whether you’re here to unwind, explore Noosa and the Sunshine Coast, or simply enjoy a morning coffee while watching the birdlife, we hope you’ll feel completely at home.

Waiam Cottage is just a short stroll from the peaceful shores of Lake Weyba and only an easy drive to Noosa, northern Sunshine Coast beaches, and the famous Eumundi Markets.
