Relaxed barefoot luxury

Located in Little Cove, between Noosa National Park and Little Cove Beach, homeowners, Debbie and Wes, wanted a family holiday home that is reminiscent of their childhood growing up on the beach and playing in the garden. Collaborating with local building designer Georgina Price and interior designer and stylist, Bindy Ward, they set about creating their ideal getaway.

Backing on to the National Park, Noa by the Beach has everything you would need for a family or group getaway. A fully equipped kitchen, spacious open plan living and dining with an indoor fireplace, a media room, six thoughtfully designed bedrooms (including bunk beds) and four luxurious bathrooms. Get some work down at one of three large tables, which can comfortably fit up to 12 people for group brainstorming sessions.

Large windows, glass sliding doors, custom vertical battens and skylights allow natural light to filter into the home, adding warmth to the sun-bleached colour palette that features shades of driftwood taupe, misty grey and shell pink, punctuated by black. Earthy and textural material is used to soften the architecture of the home and draw focus to the leafy surrounds. 

 The expansive deck that flows from the main living area looks out over the treetops of Noosa National Park – a view that can be seen from the moment you step through the front door. The deck has a fully covered alfresco area with outdoor kitchen, BBQ and outdoor heating. Downstairs, the backyard features a pool (which can be heated upon request), trampoline, board racks and plenty of beach toys for guests to make use of. 

 A 10-minute walk to Main Beach and Hastings Street, and Little Cove Beach only a short stroll away, combined with Noa by the Beach’s barefoot luxury, proves that when it comes to holidaying in Noosa, you should never settle for less than perfection.
