Noosa Flashpackers, hotel in Sunshine Beach

Flashpackers Noosa provides premium dormitory rooms and private accommodation. Each room is equipped with its own ensuite, so no need to walk to communal showers.

The rooms we stayed in were nice and clean. We were able to leave our car in the parking area when going on a trip to K'gari which was very nice. The hostel also offers a lot of extra facilities, such as a transport to the center of Noosa and activities every evening. We did not make use of this, but I think it is a very nice hostel when you are traveling alone.

Peppers Noosa Resort and Villas, hotel in Sunshine Beach

The 4-star Peppers Noosa Resort and Villas offers luxurious accommodation with a private balcony. Guests enjoy a restaurant, a bar, 2 swimming pools, a fitness centre, a games room, and a day spa.

Clearly an owner occupier resort. Lobby and bar was absolutely dead. Absolutely no atmosphere whatsoever. No room service after 9:00pm and the room smelt of mould. Bedroom has no natural light and I had a laundry in my bathroom. For almost $600 a night, this is completely unacceptable.

    Great surf club with fantastic food & it was right across the road from our accommodation. The local restaurants are amazing too. The surf was a bit wild due to the cyclone in northern Queensland. Very easy walking distance (1 minute) to the restaurants & shops. Taxis are very prompt & the river & Tewantin are very handy to Sunshine Beach via taxi (Approx $25)

    Good for walking.

    Good for walking. At the time, perhaps due to recent storms, the surf was too rough for us to swim comfortably in. Lots of nice little restaurants serving good coffee. Surf club did nice food but we couldn't book. The end of Sunshine beach led up to the beginning of a headland walk to Noosa which some of us did regularly. Community felt very safe. The biggest disappointment for us was no air con in the third room. It was very small and also had no space for belongnings in this room which was a bit deceiving. Appreciated the staff hirning an air con for us. The two showers also leaked on to the floors which we informed the staff about.

    Sunshine Beach village has a great vibe, the surf club and restaurants were all excellent. Our favourite things were the dog beach and National Park walks. It is a short 5 minute drive to Noosa Junction with lots more restaurants, a great IGA, shops, and easy parking. If you want more, Hastings Street and Noosa beach is just 10 minutes away.

    we lived in Noosa 15 years ago it seems to have become a rat race for overcrowding lack of parking and more people than the place can hold. that was why we went to Sunshine Beach, nice and quiet pity about the unit we chose, price was reasonable but there were cheaper and probably much cleaner and better? old surf club had been renovated and Kitchen is now run privately? was charged twice for our meal and when I went back next day I was basically accused of trying to rip them off even though I showed them both charges within minutes of each other, food was ordinary for prices being charged. Drinks where also over the top compared to other clubs and pubs.

    Sunshine Beach was a really great surprise package for me.

    Sunshine Beach was a really great surprise package for me. I only visited for half a day to have a quick surf but I have to say that I think it's even nicer than Noosa. The beach is huge, beautiful and pristine. The actual town itself is nice and quiet with some amazing views and great places to eat.

    Quintessentially beautiful Australian beach, and quieter area. Beach is more exposed compared with Hastings Street, so sea is rougher and flagged section is often narrow. Great, but small, mix of local shops/restaurants/cafes. Enough not to have to leave Sunshine Beach, but Hastings St close enough to enjoy by car or walk if you're keen to get 12000 steps thought the Noosa National park.

    Perfect location, very close to Sunshine beach and walkable to Noosa Junction. My private room was hotel quality and had impressive features (hair dryer, towels, AC, and a TV with Netflix!!). I was meeting up with friends while in Noosa so was not participating in hostel activities but it looked like they had fun events organized for guests. The hostel staff were very helpful and the hostel itself was clean and had some great amenities such as a pool, free shuttles to Noosa Junction, free use of beginner surf boards.

    Everything! The layout of the apartment is perfect for a family of 4. Kitchen is well equiped with items you would have at home. The view speaks for itself - so beautiful. Conveniently located just up from Sunshine Beach village, walking distance to both the dog beach and to where the flags are. Jodie the host is lovely and very prompt with communication. Highly recommend.

    I stayed in unit 2 which had a view of the sea and a spacious balcony. The unit was also really spacious with good facilities and it was nice to be able to bring my cat along with me. I like to ditch the car when I arrive on holiday and I loved the walk through the national park to Noosa for a swim and back again. The apartment was super close to the beach and shops too.

    The place was peaceful and well cared for. There were plenty of spaces to relax, eat or work. The bathroom was shared but private which is unusual to find in a hostel. The staff kept the place extremely clean for a hostel too. And being able to walk to restaurants and the beach and also catch a bus into Noosa or down to Coolum and Maroochydore. It is a great location.

    We were fortunate to have a top story ocean view, which was outstanding and allowed wonderful views of the many passing whales and sunrises. It was a great size in a quieter, relaxed area of Noosa; with great access to the Sunshine Beach local shops, Surf Club and beach. Secure, dedicated under cover car parking was another excellent aspect.

    The stay was wonderful. The reception was very friendly and helpful with information about the area. The view from the apartment was divine and footsteps from the beach. Very close walk to the local shops and cafes at Sunshine Beach, and a nice easy 5 minute drive to Noosa Junction and then onto Noosa Heads.
