A contemporary redesign of a 1980s beach house has become Noosa’s newest must-book holiday home. Noa by the Beach is a boutique family accommodation that has been thoughtfully designed, blending Noosa’s revered coastal lifestyle with a sophisticated, yet relaxed barefoot luxury.
Located in Little Cove, between Noosa National Park and Little Cove Beach, homeowners, Debbie and Wes, wanted a family holiday home that is reminiscent of their childhood growing up on the beach and spending memorable days outdoors. Collaborating with local building designer Georgina Price and interior designer and stylist, Bindy Ward, they set about creating their ideal getaway.
Backing on to the National Park, Noa by the Beach has everything you would need for a family or group getaway. A fully equipped kitchen, spacious open plan living and dining with an indoor fireplace, a media room, six thoughtfully designed bedrooms (including bunk beds) and four luxurious bathrooms.
Based in Singapore, Debbie and Wes wanted to create their dream beach house as a place for them and their young family to enjoy when back home in Australia, with it being rented out as a holiday home when they were abroad. With Covid-19 travel restrictions in place, Debbie and Wes have instead opened the house as full-time holiday accommodation for families and groups of friends to enjoy together.
““We both felt we wanted an anchor for our kids to build a stronger connection with Australia and somewhere they could call home – that’s why we designed so many features of the property with our three young children and our extended family in mind.””
The expansive deck that flows from the main living area looks over a lush tree-lined backdrop of Noosa National Park – a view that can be seen from the moment you step through the front door. The deck has a fully covered alfresco area with outdoor kitchen, sitting area, BBQ and outdoor heating. Downstairs, the backyard features a pool (which can be heated upon request), trampoline, board racks and plenty of beach and pool toys for guests to make use of.
A 10-minute walk to Main Beach and Hastings Street (and Little Cove Beach only a short stroll away), combined with Noa by the Beach’s barefoot luxury, proves that when it comes to holidaying in Noosa, you should never settle for less than perfection.
