That place is not really a hostel, it's a holiday park in the forest, very large and natural. There is free canoing on the lake, a beach near by, and horse and camel riding around.
In a double room you have your own ensuite and the kitchen is shared with just one more room.
We had a very relaxing time there, it's not a party place

The hostel/resort is one of the best hostel we ever stayed on in Australia. It's quite far from Noosa Heads (the city), but the resort runs a shuttlebus many times a day for only $1.
The rooms are all ensuite and they are very clean. The kitchen and livingarea is nice too, so I'll really recommend this place. You can use all the good facilities, incl. 2 big swimmingpools.

If you are a nature lover, this is the place to be!!!!!! We booked for one night but ended up staying for a whole week! That’s a lot, considering we had only 5 weeks in Australia.
This place is amazing and the staff was incredibly friendly, helpful and enjoyable to talk to. The place is on an island so it's about 20 minutes and a 1 minute ferry ride (1 dollar return trip) from Noosa centre, but free courtesy busses run 6 times daily, so it wasn’t a problem for us. It’s a big, spacious, beautiful natural resort with more than enough to do.
There are kangaroos, tropical birds and horse- and camelriding, right at your doorstep. We even saw a 10 foot python hanging in a tree! There is a store there and a nice outdoor restaurant and bar as well, so it's pretty self sufficient A huge gorgeous lake, on which we kayaked. 3 beautiful pools, tenniscourt, pooltables, great BBQ's and lots and lots of space. Our room was extremely clean, well kept and had the most comfortable bed we had ever slept in! We stayed in dorms and doubles (backpackers), which were both of very high standard. They have many different types of accommodation there. The units have a great shared kitchen which is fully self sufficient. The surroundings are really nice to go for a walk as well. The island has a beautiful beach close to the units where we enjoyed a romantic full moon scenery. Although this resort is huge, we never really seemed to see any other guests. It’s like having a private island.
We had a great time for a really good price (only $50 for an extremely well kept double!!) and we found the peace of mind and relaxation here that we were looking for in Australia.

This place is a real find, Mickey D was really nice and went out of his way to show us round the hotspots of Noosa. The kangaroos were lovely and the sunset was spectacular. This place is a real bargain.

This place is one of the nicest hostels I have stayed in in Oz. Very clean apartments with sofas and tv and you only have to share the kitchen with 8 people max. Loads of wildlife, nice pool and free kayaks. And we got a free t-shirt for staying a week, which comes in handy fruitpicking!

I fully recommend staying at Noosa North Shore Retreat! I origionally went there for two nights and ended up staying there a week. It might be a little bit out of town but there is a bus that goes back and forth from the retreat all the time. The rooms are really spacious (two rooms share a kitchen and each room has an ensuite and only sleeps four people) and are amazingly clean. With the great accomodation, the fantastic staff (especially Mickey D and that cute bar guy...), the cheap drinks at the bar, the awsome bistro meals and the atmosphere - this place was like a home away from home that I will definately return to. Thanks guys for making my stay so wonderful... xx

A lovely place to stay for a break from the town in a friendly atmosphere. Apartments, 2 bedroomed each room with own clean bathroom and clean kitchen / lounge with t.v shared with other second room. However we've had it to ourselves. A distance to town but not a problem with the free bus. Kangaroos outside rooms morning and night. We booked 3 nights and are staying 5! Discount vouchers given out for 3 night stays!

This place is by far the best in we have stayed in in oz, the wildlife is great and right on your doorstep, the guys here have it sorted they offer buses throughout the day back to noosa town. We had the greatest room, with kitchen and lounge. The resort has a bar, swimming pool, restaurant and more.
