A proud labour of love, Noosa Eco Retreat is a former farm, transformed into a family-owned nature retreat that promotes health, sustainability, and blissful reconnection with the natural world.

Beautifully set within one of just nine biosphere reserves in Australia, the paradise-like, adults-only retreat comprises over 100 private acres, and doubles as a safe release site for rescued native wildlife. During your stay, you can expect to meet koalas, kangaroos, wallabies, possums, diverse bird life, and much, much more!

With only six spacious, self-contained eco-luxe yurts on site, you won’t even have to worry about fighting off the tourist crowds… just sit back, relax, and savour magnificent views of the iconic Mount Cooroora.

You’ll also have direct access to Tuchekoi National Park and its invigorating array of walking trails. Along with numerous on-site activities, shopping opportunities, and some of Noosa’s most beautiful white-sand beaches almost on the doorstep, you’ll never be at a loss for ways to spend your time.

Each eco-luxe yurt is bespoke crafted from sustainably sourced and imaginatively re-purposed materials, furnished for contemporary comfort, and perfectly positioned for you to enjoy that magnificent scenery.

As their name suggests, the Mountain View yurts showcase the dramatic beauty of Mount Cooroora, while the Beauty Spot yurts are privately secluded in an elevated, tree-lined glade that leads directly to Tuchekoi National Park.

As well as a luxurious deck for spectacular sunrise and sunset-watching (you may also be visited by grazing wallabies as you cradle your morning coffee!), each yurt features a downy kingsize bed or twins, an indulgent en-suite bathroom with a rain shower and eco-toiletries, and a well-equipped kitchenette.
