From festivals to food trails, lush mountain tracks to gardens in bloom, we’ve got a basket full of ways for you to soak-up spring in Noosa. Spring is in the air! With the arrival of some beautiful warm weather, Noosa is buzzing with new life. The days become longer, the sunshine is warmer and the atmosphere brighter – it’s the ideal time to plan your much awaited holiday. Coco Bay Resort is your base to explore the naturally refreshing Sunshine Coast with a few of our favourite local activities.
Explore our local
From cool little coffee shops, health-food havens, restaurants and breezy bars with river views, discover our local village of Noosaville. Walk from your holiday base at Coco Bay Resort to endless family fun. Grab takeaway fish and chips, or let local delis fill your picnic basket and find a romantic spot along the foreshore, saving room for a delicious ice cream. If you’re up early enough, capture gorgeous sunrises over the river. Stroll or ride a bike along the foreshore. Go stand-up paddling with the team from Noosa Stand Up Paddle, hire a kayak from Eco Noosa River Adventures, go fishing, catch the ferry or book a river cruise. There is literally so much to see and do.
Adventure a little further back from the river and you will find organic markets every Sunday, craft breweries and distilleries at Noosaville Industrial Estate. Enjoy this laidback holiday spot as you take in the stunning water views and indulge in delicious restaurants and cute cafes and be sure to check out the many shops along the way.
Day trip adventures
Looking for a taste of adrenaline suitable for the whole family? Plan a day trip to Tree Top Challenge at the Big Pineapple. Push your limits with over 100 challenges including zip lining and high rope courses more than 25m above ground! Are roller coasters your thing? Get your thrill at Aussie World. A must family visit on your way to stay with us! With easy access straight off the Bruce Highway, Aussie World has rides, coasters, games, and entertainment for all ages and adventure levels. For something a little more relaxed, nestled in the quaint town of Yandina, the Ginger Factory is a favourite day out for families. Kids and adults love the fun rides and tours, vibrant colours and scents of the subtropical gardens, winding garden paths, delicious tastes
and old-world charm. A must visit when visiting the Sunshine Coast.
Taste of the coast
As you make your way up the winding roads of the Blackall Range you’ll spot some clues by the roadside as to what lays ahead. Tables of golden pineapples, pots of honey, organic fruit and leafy greens can be found dotted along the way with an honesty box the preferred method of payment. Any foodie worth their salt knows of the incredible produce grown in the rich volcanic soils of the Sunshine Coast Hinterland. It’s a true gourmet paradise. From Maleny to Kenilworth, the region delights with an appetising variety of producers, hinterland restaurants, wineries, breweries, food festivals, cooking schools and farmers markets – all there waiting to be explored. Visit Maleny Cheese and sample their handcrafted cheese and yoghurts. Here award-winning brie, feta and cheddar is served with a side of happily grazing cows and impossibly green rolling hills, a true paddock to plate experience. Even the local pub, the Kenilworth Hotel, has made its mark in more ways than one, with a micro-brewery on site for lovers of a cold one.
If exploring local is more your vibe, Noosa Marina offers an amazing waterfront dining experience. Enjoy a delicious meal, great coffee, wine, boutique beers and snacks right on the beautiful Noosa River!
With so much to eat (and drink!), we guarantee you’ll be coming back for seconds. Is it time to book your Noosa holiday this spring? Be our guest. Stay at Coco Bay Resort Noosa.
