At the heart of Noosa is the main strip of Hastings Street offering great al fresco dining and boutique shopping, with a backdrop of the beautiful North facing Noosa Beach. Hastings Street also backs on to the stunning coastal national park, which covers an area of more than 4,000 hectares of Pandanus, and Banksia and is filled with local wildlife including resident Koalas.
