Eumarella Shores Noosa Lake Retreat

If you want peace, quiet and relaxation this is the place. Lovely comfortable accommodation with all the little touches of home. Lovely walks within nature. Local kangaroos hanging out so lovely. We loved our stay with beautiful quality packed hampers from acropolis noosa in the fridge upon our arrival. We needed nothing our entire stay. So well thought out. Loved every minute! Thank you!

From the moment you turn into Eumarella Shores to find a mob of kangaroos and their joeys lazing on the grass, you know you’re in a special place. The villa had all the amenities expected in good quality accommodation: a large comfortable bed, air conditioning, smart TV, wifi, coffee machine, etc. If you’re a kayaker, there are kayaks to paddle on Lake Weyba, which is metres from your door. If you’re a bushwalker or birdwatcher, you can venture into the forest and see what you can discover. And if you get bored of the bush, you can drive for 10km and find a range of good restaurants to eat in. I highly recommend staying in the Eumarella Shores.

We went to Eumarella Shores for our anniversary and my birthday for five nights. It was a wonderful get away. We stayed in Gooloolawa the 3 bed house on the Lake. Beautifully presented, very large entertaining area, lounge, dining, deck, smart TV, fireplace, everything you could want and the most lovely welcome starter pack for breakfast as well as nibbles. The managers have done their job well. We had friends come up for one overnighter and were thrilled as well. They all went for the complimentary canoe paddle and we just thoroughly enjoyed the whole ambience of the place. The drive to Noosa, Tewantin and beyond is very convenient but when you arrive back home the privacy and quiet is so welcomed. My husband and I are both artists so we brought our art supplies and enjoyed some time on the deck with views of the Lake to create some little artworks. A nice memento. We do have one improvement to offer though to management and we hope they can accommodate this before our next return as we plan to be back with some family members next year. All the deck has for enjoying the view is 12 bar stools lined up along the glass balustrades without any backs. Not conducive for socialising and just enjoying the ambience of the place. This was a disappoin**ent. As we are in our 70's backless stools, no table etc was not for us. Luckily we brought our portable chairs and table for our art creating. We highly recommend that the owners buy some comfy outdoor table and chairs furniture for the deck for guests to enjoy. This would make the place complete for sure! Otherwise thank you for a lovely stay!

Peaceful location in bushland right on the edge of the lake. Well equipped cottage, very comfortable, quality linens and bedding, extra details like quality soaps/hair&bath products/meditation app were appreciated. Super easy check-in/check-out and staff were very pleasant to deal with both on phone and via email. Recommended for people looking for a quiet, private and restful get-away with everything they need provided. Easy to find and access, only 10mins drive into Noosa for anything you need.

Excellent overall

I have stayed in the Studio Lake House three times before, but this time we stayed in The Driftwood Lake House. A very relaxing stay, and I love to take the Canoe/Kayak out on the lake. I find the Lake Houses feel so homely and the Driftwood was big, bold and beautiful to say the least. There were around 20 Kangaroos or more when I drove towards our accommodation on my first day, that in itself was a very warm welcome. I highly recommend Eumarella Shores if you are looking for a peaceful, relaxing stay in amongst nature with a lake view, a log fire and total serenity. Vanessa. H

The location is beautiful and possibly enjoyable but that heavily depends on whether you live next to a permanently rented out dwelling. If you do then be prepared to cope with endless noise from blowers, tools and whatever else this property will require in terms maintenance. We are enjoying “The Studio” on a Friday trying to escape from daily life. That seems like an impossible feast given the last hour has been nothing but noisy with a guy cleaning the gutters from debris and the only thing stopping him is the battery running out of power. Not to mention the power tools used to cut new pipes for whatever purpose right in front of our deck. The place is not nearly as idyllic as you may wish it to be based on other reviews. Yes there are Wallabies grazing in the early hours of the morning but they will quickly hop away once the noise starts… Enjoy it while it’s quiet and go for walks or kayaking on the lake to escape and really find some peace away from it all. The accommodation is very nice and the place is surely is tucked away amongst trees with the water just a few meters down a set of stairs which lead to a pier with sun lounges and a place to put your kayak if you brought one. There is a free one provided as well. The dirt road leading to the cabins is proof that nature comes first and so are the people and their tools trying to keep it at bay… Bad news, the guy found a spare battery. The fun continues… 🤪

Great location away from the busy nearby areas.

We stayed at the Treetops cottage. It was a cozy rustic cottage with a nice view of the lake. The staff were very friendly at check in and the welcome food/drinks package was a nice touch as was the free use of a canoe to explore the lake.
