Noosa Lakes Resort

8/10 Good
"Everything about the presentation of the apartment was fine, only point of note was we were down stairs and the upstairs unit has wooden floors and sound acoustics were awful for us as there were a couple of young guest upstairs and they were late night & early morning running and jumping making a hell of a racket. No hotels fault they had poor parental controls but it is poor acoustics."

10/10 Excellent
"Our stay at the Novotel was fantastic, the older rooms are tired and in needing for a upgrade however the grounds and facilities make up for it. The new rooms are beautiful, spacious and worth the extra money. The staff were so helpful and lovely, activities for the kids were thoughtful and well planned. The only downside to this property is the food. The food selection was minimal and there were next to no vegetables offered. You are a 30 min walk to the closest IGA or other cafe so just something to consider if you don't have a car."
