This beautifully appointed one-bedroom apartment is tucked into the lush tropical gardens of the Mantra French Quarter, right on world-famous Hastings Street. Step out the door to some of Noosa's best cafés, restaurants, boutiques and cocktail bars. Main Beach is a short walk away, so a morning swim and an ocean sunset are both easy. Noosa National Park is just along the boardwalk, with its coastal walks, hidden bays and the odd koala.

The apartment has lift access and a relaxed, spacious layout filled with natural light. Wake up in the king bedroom with its own ensuite and start your day with a Nespresso. The kitchenette has everything you need for breakfast in or a platter before dinner. When the sliding doors open, the living area flows onto your private balcony overlooking the resort's lush tropical gardens. It's the perfect spot for a sunset drink as the coastal breeze drifts in.

Guests have full use of the resort facilities, including a choice of pools (lagoon-style, heated and a children's wading pool), spas, a sauna, and BBQ and picnic areas set among the tropical gardens. One secure undercover car space is included, although with Hastings Street, the beach and the National Park all within walking distance, you may not need the car much at all.

Whether it's a romantic escape, a long weekend away or a well-earned solo reset, this is Noosa at its best: stylish, central and a short walk from the beach.
