Active Holidays Big4 Noosa

We loved our first stop in Noosa. The cabin-style, independent houses gave it the feel of a premium holiday park, with a peaceful atmosphere and great family vibes. The front desk staff were polite and gave us a useful map of the facilities. They also organise family activities such as Movie Nights. There’s a pool, BBQ area and pool table, and the place is pet-friendly, which added to the welcoming feel. Our cabin was private and had its own parking spot right beside it, which was handy on a road trip. There was outdoor seating for relaxing in cooler weather. The kitchen had a microwave, kettle and fridge with a freezer compartment. A dishwasher would have been a nice bonus. Guests have to sort and take their own rubbish to the designated bins. For two nights of cooking, we didn’t have enough rubbish bags. Reception closes at 8:00 PM, so it’d be helpful to have a few extra bags in the room. The lounge had a sofa, dining table and chairs. Our unit had a double bed in a private bedroom and bunk beds in the living area, best suited to kids. Only the lounge had air conditioning; the bedroom had a ceiling fan. During our stay from Dec 17-19, the nights were cool enough that the lounge air conditioning reached the bedroom comfortably. The bedroom was a bit tight. We managed to fit two 29-inch suitcases, one in the wardrobe and one under the vanity, but there wasn’t much room left. The mattress was very comfortable, and we slept well. The bathroom had a shower curtain, but water tended to splash out, and the fixed overhead shower was a bit inconvenient. The toiletries provided were excellent quality. Outside, waking up to sunshine, flowers and birdsong was refreshing. All the windows had fly screens, though a few had small holes, so keep an eye out. Luckily, we didn’t have any mosquitoes during our stay. It’s a peaceful spot away from the crowds, about a 20-minute drive to Noosa Heads Main Beach. Woolworths in Tewantin is a five-minute drive away. Food tip: Charm Thai Cuisine near Woolworths had delicious, reasonably priced Green Curry and Thai Seafood Fried Rice.
