Luxe Launchpad at Netanya
Noosa’s wonderful wild side is waiting to be explored and the team at Netanya Noosa can get you there in style. Melanie Rosettenstein finds out more.
Netanya Noosa offers stunning front-row seats to the sparkling sands of Noosa Main Beach and tree-lined Hastings Street but it’s also the luxe launchpad for day trips beyond the coastline that will have you paddling picture-perfect waterways, eating and drinking your way around the lush hinterland or moseying about quaint tucked away galleries.
Netanya Noosa Chief Operations Officer Glen McKenna says his team goes all out to ensure every guest makes the most of The Netanya Experience during their Noosa escape; whether it’s soaking up the resort’s laid-back luxury or exploring what’s on the doorstep.
Beyond the well-worn paths lie some hidden gems and, he says, the Netanya concierge is ready to help guests discover them with ease and style.
“There are so many lesser-known, stunning corners of our region begging to be explored,” said Glen.
“We’ve partnered with several operators and establishments to get our guests out and about while still enjoying the luxury of staying at the resort.”
The Netanya Noosa concierge can arrange a wide range of activities and experiences but one of Glen’s favourite escapes is the stunning Noosa Everglades, another wilder world where nature rules.
One of two everglade systems on the planet (with the other being in Florida), this 60-kilometre stretch of water in the upper reaches of the Noosa River is also known as the ‘River of Mirrors’ for its pristine waters. Home to diverse fauna and flora, a day trip into the Noosa Everglades is a deep immersion into this lovely natural landscape. As part of The Netanya Experience, the guest concierge can arrange guided and self-guided canoe and boat tours that will have you gliding across the mirrored waterways, soaking up the serenity with an optional picnic basket packed full of local goodies from Netanya’s Providore on Hastings.
For food lovers looking to feast on fabulous flavours or peruse the wares of local creatives, the Netanya team can recommend a day trip to the Hinterland, travelling in sustainable style through its partnership with Tesla Transfers Noosa.
Charming Cooroy is a foodie and shopping hotspot, and for something delicious and brew-tiful, the Copperhead Restaurant Brewery dishes up quality food and brilliant craft beer made on site.
Nearby, The Cooroy Butter Factory Arts Centre is a hub of creativity, community, and local flair. Run by the passionate Cooroy Futures Group, this welcoming space is home to inspiring exhibitions, hands-on workshops, a working pottery studio, and the beautifully curated Artisan Store for the perfect gift or momento.
For something a little different but equally as exciting, Sunshine & Sons’ Distillery Tour in Woombye is a must. Against a rainforest backdrop, learn how this homegrown distillery and purveyors of award-winning spirits and Australia’s only certified organic rum create their beautiful drops amongst the rolling hills of Woombye. Enjoy a cocktail masterclass, a tasting or a tour and take home a taste of the Sunshine Coast.
Exploring Noosa’s outer reaches or travelling to your restaurant reservation is easy and effortlessly stylish. For those leaning into eco-friendly travel (and really, who isn’t these days?), Tesla Transfers Noosa offers a fleet of luxury electric vehicles, including sedans and SUVs, perfect for solo travellers, couples, or families. Their seamless door-to-door service covers everything from airport pickups (even from Brisbane Airport) to restaurant pick-ups and shopping trips ensuring you travel in comfort.
Prefer to travel by water? The newly launched HV Stillwater from Noosa Ferry & Cruise Co. is a sleek, hybrid-powered catamaran offering sunset cruises, private charters, and scenic transfers. Fully accessible and designed with sustainability in mind, it’s a serene and eco-conscious way to experience Noosa’s waterways. The Netanya team can also recommend and reserve lunch or dinner at one of their favourite waterfront destinations such as Rickys River Bar & Restaurant, Noosa Boathouse or Lucio’s Marina.
From cruising the glassy waters of the Noosa Everglades to sampling local drinks and uncovering hidden treasures in the hinterland – even a round of golf – it’s all part of The Netanya Experience.
Whether you’re in the mood for adventure, indulgence, or something off the beaten track, they’ll help craft the perfect itinerary and get you there and back in style.
And, once you’re done exploring, return to Netanya to relax in effortless beachfront luxury for a refreshing dip or stunning sunset before being lulled to sleep by the sound of the waves.
