Food Scene

Flaxton Gardens is the most beautiful setting high in the ranges overlooking the Glass House Mountains, all the way down to the coast. I would highly recommend going there either for morning or afternoon tea or dinner.

The most beautiful views of the Glass House Mountains can be enjoyed from up here. There are barbecue and picnic facilities available. There is a scenic walking trail from The Lookout which I would certainly recommend too.

Starting at the iconic Noosa Heads Main Beach, this walk begins with a striking beach landscape located right on the bustling Hasting St precinct. Grab a coffee or something to eat from one of the many specialty cafes and restaurants before approaching the Noosa National Park. The first section of the walk takes in the main beach and then around the headland along a wide custom built boardwalk. Several beach access points such as Little Cove, Boiling Pot or Tea Tree are perfect for a quick swim, picnic or selfie! Wander through the Noosa National Park and admire the tea trees, palms and eucalypt canopy. Keen observers may even spot a sleeping koala! Hell’s Gates is approximately 60 minutes’ walk and rewards walkers with 270-degree views across the coast. The pinnacle of the coastal walk, Hell’s Gates is perfect for viewing local wildlife such as Ospreys and pods of dolphins playing in the waves.

Must See when visiting The Glass House Mountains

This has to be the best Zoo in the world and made famous by Steve Irwin! It is a must see if you are visiting the area. We could not recommend Australia Zoo highly enough - whether you are an adult or a child, prepare to be amazed! Ensure you have comfortable walking shoes and be prepared to spend an entire day exploring this magnificent world famous landmark.
