Local Love at Your Fingertips at Netanya Noosa
More than a haven for laid-back luxury, Netanya Noosa offers the quintessential Noosa experience – from its uninterrupted beach front views to its Hastings Street café and gourmet grocery shop, the luxe resort embodies the very essence of being IN Noosa! Jodie Cameron discovers the local partnerships that are making Providore on Hastings a thriving hub of locally-made treats and paddock-to-plate goodness!
Nestled in the heart of Netanya Noosa Resort at the Paris end of Hastings Street, and right next to Noosa Heads Surf Lifesaving Club is Providore on Hastings – a convenient café and one-stop-grocery-shop packed with gourmet goodies, coffee, grab-and-go sandwiches, salads and local artisan products. It has everything you need to create that perfect platter, snack or meal for a day at the beach, at home or – if you’re fortunate enough to be a guest at Netanya Noosa – on your balcony or rooftop deck with stunning views over Laguna Bay.
Good coffee is the key to happiness, which is why Providore on Hastings exclusively brews high quality local coffee from Sunshine Beach roasters Sunshine Social. Sunshine Social takes their coffee seriously, and their passion for community and deep love of good coffee is evident when visiting their bustling roastery! With more than 20 years’ experience roasting specialty coffee amidst the tropical Sunshine Coast sea breeze, their beans are sourced from farmers from the world’s most renowned agricultural lands in Colombia, Guatemala, Rwanda, Costa Rica, Brazil and Honduras. Paired with the very best milk from Kenilworth Dairies, who’ve been producing milk for over 60 years, you can guarantee delight with every cup!
When it comes to the Providore on Hastings store, team member Emma says they’re passionate about supporting and showcasing the best of Sunshine Coast’s local and artisanal producers – from boutique chai blends, cheeses, chocolates and coffee.
“We celebrate and partner with our local farmers and suppliers to offer our customers, visitors and locals a taste of Noosa and the Sunshine Coast,” she said. “Not only does this support our local economy, but it helps put our local brands and flavours in front of interstate and international visitors.”
Enjoy local delights from the likes of Nutworks, Maleny Food Co, Fat Hen Farm, Hum Honey and The Fresh Chai Co, amongst many others that’ll tempt the tastebuds and delight the senses. After something a bit more substantial? Why not add in gourmet meats from Butcher’s of Noosa to cook up a feast on your own Netanya Noosa balcony BBQ!
And if you’d like a delicious drop to go alongside your meal, you’re in luck. Exclusively for in-house guests at Netanya, the resort has collaborated with Penfolds to present an exclusive selection of prestigious wines to sip and savour whilst looking out at Noosa’s iconic point breaks – cheers to that!
If it’s cheese that pleases, enjoy local award-winning faves such as Kenilworth Dairies with Ugly Duck Fine Foods who take perfectly delicious (but not attractive) fruits to handmake small batch preserves perfect for cheese. In addition to stocking its delicious cheeses in-room and in-store, Providore on Hastings also stock a range of Kenilworth Dairies’ yoghurt, cheese and milk. Their famous specialty, gourmet flavoured feta and everyday cheddars are guaranteed to suit any taste and occasion, while their naturally fruit flavoured yoghurts are the perfect balance of sweet, smooth and tart. You can find their products stocked in the fresh produce section alongside other essentials.
“The Sunshine Coast is home to so many amazing producers – if it’s made, created or grown on the Sunshine Coast we do our best to stock these products so our customers can experience an array of local flavours during their stay, or while visiting the Providore on Hastings café and grocery store,” Emma said. “We really are spoilt for choice when it comes to sourcing locally, so our partnerships with local producers continue to grow.”
Did somebody say sourdough pizza?! Providore on Hastings café serves up a delicious selection of pizzas made locally by Noosa Sourdough Co. – with bases also stocked in store so you can DIY. And if it’s sourdough bread you’re after, you’ll love the range from Brasserie Bread.
