Have you visited Lake Cootharaba and Boreen Point?

These are just two of an array of wonderful Noosa Hinterland experiences to be enjoyed when holidaying with us.

Lake Cootharaba is a magnificent waterway and part of the Noosa River system.

It is the largest lake on the Noosa River. It is also the gateway to the upper Noosa River and the Noosa Everglades.

The Lake is popular for kayaking, canoeing, sailing, wind-surfing, kite surfing and fishing.

Also, the lake is superb for kids, as it is very shallow for a long way out. So it’s very safe for swimming and a variety of water sports.

Stunning, old paperbark trees line the lake flanked by the expansive Great Sandy National Park.

Take a relaxing stroll along the lake, relax and unwind in this very quiet and peaceful space.
