Winter in Noosa means blue skies, sunshine and the kind of family adventures that turn into core memories. Whether you're already staying with us at On The Beach Noosa or planning your next school holiday escape, this laid-back itinerary is packed with good vibes, great food, and plenty of fun for all ages.
Day 1: Surf’s Up + Sweet Treats
Start the holidays with a splash – literally! Just steps from your luxury beachfront apartment on Hastings Street, you’ll find the perfect beginner surf conditions at Main Beach. After catching your first wave, treat yourself and the kids with a handcrafted gelato at Happy Pops, right by the water. It’s the best way to kick off your Noosa family holiday.
Day 2: Market Magic
Wander through the vibrant Eumundi Markets, where the live music, handmade crafts and tasty bites will keep everyone entertained. On Sunday, check out the Noosa Farmers Market – stock up on fresh goodies for a beach picnic or lazy brunch back at your apartment.
Day 3: Ferry Rides & Pirate Parks
Hop on the Noosa Ferry from just down the road, and enjoy a scenic river ride - it’s a fun way to explore and soak up the scenery. Hop off at The Yacht Club stop, which puts you steps away from Pirates Park in Noosaville to let the kids run wild, then head to Noosa Waterfront Restaurant for a relaxed lunch or dinner with stunning views and a kids’ menu that actually delivers.
Day 4: Into the Wild
No school holiday in Noosa is complete without a walk through the Noosa National Park. It’s an easy adventure from On The Beach Noosa, with chances to spot sleepy koalas, playful dolphins, and even whales cruising by during the migration season. Nature lovers, rejoice.
Day 5: Art + Aqua Play
Unleash the little artists at the Noosa Regional Gallery, where kids can join in fun creative workshops. Afterwards, let them cool off at the nearby Tewantin splash park – it’s all about balance, right?
Day 6: A Cooroy Kind of Day
Head inland to Cooroy, where there’s a brilliant playground and charming country-town vibes. For lunch, swing by Crackerjack – a laid-back bowls club where the food’s fantastic and the kids can try barefoot bowls while you kick back and relax.
Day 7: Hinterland Feels
Slow things down with a day out to Boreen Point. Grab lunch at the rustic Apollonian Hotel, then explore the Noosa Everglades – a hidden gem with otherworldly calm, perfect for kayaking or a guided boat tour.
Bonus Ideas
Still have energy to burn? Challenge the family to a round of Noosa Mini Golf, or visit the Ginger Factory for rides, tours, and gingerbread to take home.
