Visit Tourism Noosa’s website for more accommodation options.
Walkers are to undertake bookings directly with the accommodation house; it is not offered as a package by the Great Noosa Country Trail Walk. Transfers to and from private and guest houses need to be arranged with the guest house – we are unable to offer this service.
Booking alternative accommodation does not discount the walker’s registration fee, as this is a small component of the overall cost.
Right, now go forth and find your favourite!
