Noosa was as laid back as laid back can be. Coffee for the boys: morning, noon & night. Gelatti for the girls as an after dinner treat. Water, surf and sand. Cards at night. Torrential summer rain storms and beautiful sunny afternoons. We had a hike one afternoon around Noosa National Park. The scenery was beautiful and we saw lizards sunning themselves. ... read more

Checked out of Kola even though I had paid for 2 nights they do not refund but give you a credit for any o the other kola resorts, I had booked the Kola at Harvey Bay. Checked in at the YHA as the dorm was not ready went down to the beach until lunch time then back to the hostel and got into the dorm, Shared with two Italians one could not speak any English.
