Positioned at one end of Noosa Heads’ iconic Hastings St, this spacious three-bedroom property lies on a hillside, finding its place in a corner of the world that is both playground and sanctuary. Nestled in greenery and with filtered ocean views, it’s lush and languid, soothing and primed for adventure. So it’s no surprise that a recent renovation focused on underscoring the beauty of its natural surrounds with beautiful, inviting interiors.

Drawing on the sophistication of a monochrome palette, the apartment’s sleek design is centred on striking shades of white and black, softened by greys and pale timbers and accented by thoughtfully positioned artworks. It’s a look that enhances the effortless flow of the open-plan living zone, which unites the hub of the home across the spacious kitchen, welcoming dining space and chic lounge. From there it’s a seamless transition through banks of sliding glass doors to the north-facing wrapround patio, where you can claim a seat, draw in a deep breath, bask in the soft breezes and enjoy filtered views of natural attractions such as Laguna Bay and Main Beach. It’s a rare opportunity to enjoy paradise from on high, before curiosity and a keen sense of adventure guide you down the hill towards the heart of the action.

Along cosmopolitan Hastings St, new-season fashions capture the eye with vibrant colour, alongside high-end homewares, beautiful artworks and bespoke retail and boutique offerings. Talented local chefs showcase their creativity in menus brimming with seasonal local ingredients while visitors and locals alike gather to meet, chat, make plans and simply enjoy the slower pace of life that defines Noosa.
