As a family of six we go to Noosa all the time...has a very European feel to it , not built up, cafe culture, good restaurants, boutiques......one of the best icecream shops in Oz ( Massimos...up far end of Hastings street , National park end) Hasting street can be a nightmare to park espcecially during the holiday season. If you dont like the hustle and bustle of Hastings street try Noosaville just around the corner ( on the river rather than beach) great for the kids, still good food etc and accomodation. A beautiful place and definatley no "Bogans" here!
