A new chapter

Same spot on the river. A whole new noosa sun.

For years you knew us as Noosa Sun Motel. The word "motel" never quite fit. Guests kept telling us they'd found spacious, well-kept apartments on one of the best stretches of Gympie Terrace.

So we've dropped it, refreshed the brand and renovated the rooms. You'll find king beds, new bathrooms, proper kitchenettes and the small things that make a stay easy, from Nespresso pods and free paddle boards to a heated magnesium pool.

Stay

Two ways to wake up by the canal

Every apartment takes a maximum of 2 guests. The Superior Canal View has one king bed; the Canal View has a king and a single. Both have canal views and a kitchenette, plus room to spare for golf clubs, bikes, surfboards or a kayak.

Real photos, real rooms. Most of these photos were taken by our manager on their phone, in our own apartments. We've only made small touch-ups, such as hiding cables and putting a picture on the TV screens.
