The Millingtons on Noosa Beach

DAY 2: February 19th, Noosa

It is about a two hour drive up from Brisbane to get to Noosa so we set off from the hotel mid-morning so that we could have a nice afternoon in Noosa. It was quite a feat managing to fit in all the bags and suitcases as well as 5 adults into the Territory! We were actually going to Noosa because I had booked Andy a surfing lesson as a Christmas present (before we knew that my family were coming over) as well as a night’s stay at the Sheraton Noosa Resort – the only 5 star hotel in Noosa! I chose Noosa because it is meant to be one of the best places to learn to surf due to it being a rare north facing beach and has the warmest waters (averaging 25 degrees while we were there!). The surf school I chose (Wavesense) was awarded as surf school of the year last year and was recommended in the guide books. However, I was also keen to go to Noosa as I had heard lots of good things about the top class shops, restaurants, beaches and walks there. It all tied in perfectly with mum, dad and Kate’s visit and the road trip back up from Brisbane.
