Things to do in Noosaville

Go camping

The Noosa River Caravan Park is perfect for long camping trips. Not only is it close to several beaches, lakes and a national park, but it is well connected with excellent WiFi and other facilities. The Queensland Heritage Register recognises it as a major heritage site.

Cruise down the Noosa River

Catch the Noosa Ferry at Noosaville and enjoy a gentle cruise down the river, stopping at a handful of towns on the way. The route begins at Noosa Marina in Tewantin and ends at Hastings Street in Noosa Heads.

Kayak on Lake Weyba

The word ‘weyba’ means ‘stingray place’ or ‘flying squirrel place’ in the Aboriginal Yugumbir language. True to its name, Lake Weyba is home to hundreds of stingrays that you can catch sight of if you go kayaking on it. In the woods on the way to the lake, you may run into some kangaroos and – if you’re lucky – koalas.

Eating out in Noosaville

Noosaville has a number of international cafes and restaurants along the waterfront, on the street called Gympie Terrace. Eduardo’s By The River offers Spanish-Australian delicacies and a great view of the Noosa River. Their Noosa Burger is a local favourite. Sum Yung Guys serve Asian-influenced meals, such as Hiramasa kingfish and jasmine rice. The food looks as spicy as it tastes. At the Noosa Waterfront Restaurant and Bar, savour Italian dishes (such as live caviar finger limes) cooked by the internationally trained chef Andrea Ravezzani.
