Noosa is one of those places you visit and feel immediately right at home. Most visitors pass through staying one or two nights longing for more time in the sleepy town. I had 6 blessed nights in Noosa, but felt like I could stay forever. From the moment I arrived, I knew Noosa would be my “vacation” during my busy and fast paced trek through Australia. 7 days of relaxation was in store after visiting 13 regions in Australia in just three quick weeks. Noosa had everything I needed for the perfect serene getaway by the beach.

Why do I love Noosa you might ask?
