I’m always surprised about the pettiness of some reviews. We got a special deal being winter and had an awesome time staying right on the beach at Hastings Street!! Mark and Shannon were so friendly and helpful. Yes the apartment was on the top floor and yes they are a little older. But the furnishings, beds etc were excellent. The softest bath towels ever! Jacuzzi and heated pool were fantastic.

Sandcastles was the perfect place to stay for our holiday. A great location with easy access to the beach. The pool and spa was in great condition and very welcome after a walk along the beach. Plenty of options for dining out very close by and within walking distance. The apartment was perfect for our needs and great for relaxing.

Beautiful spot. Rooms are very noisy. Every time someone goes up and down the stairs you hear it all. No elevators. Lots of steps. Tight car parks. Nice view.

We were shocked to find that our room was on view to anybody in the pool, spa or bbq area, there was no privacy plus this made it very noisy. The main bedroom is situated beside the stairwell and above the laundry making it very, very noisy.The pros, It was close to the beach and had ev chargers.

This one bedroom unit is one of the cheaper options at Sandcastles, as it has a park view balcony, not a beach view. It was very clean and spacious and you walked straight out onto Noosa Beach.

Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Sounds like a small thing but it made the stay that much more enjoyable. Otherwise you can't go wrong, it's on Hasting Street with a pool and direct beach access. Fronts onto the natural park so quieter than other similar options

It's on the beach however the beach view is extremally limited by mature trees which the property does mention. booking on wotif i'm pretty sure i didn't see the multi story building has no lift, no laundry facilities in your unit and no television in the bedroom. very old building a friend mentioned staying there 30 years ago. no oven. pool area is lovely as are the managers.

Sandcastles is perfectly located down the lovely quiet end of Hastings Street. Amazing location for beach access. Pool and amenities are just what you need for a holiday. There is a bit of noise from the street with bars and restaurants and garbage trucks but this is to be expected for the location. It is not too bad unless you want to go to sleep really early. My toddlers slept through it.

Excellent family stay

We stayed in the 2 bedroom apartment at the back of resort over looking the park.

It was wonderfully set up well to cook meals and relax. It was quiet enough at night down the bottom of Hastings street but wonderful to have direct access to restaurants, shopping and the beach.

We hired beach towels for $4/each and used the free washer and dryer on-site.

The management team were friendly and easily available to help with our queries.

Lovely quiet location at end of Hastings St with big trees and grass area in front with sea behind. We booked a two bed apartment but second room you need to climb up a very narrow upright ladder. At top to the loft you have to crawl onto landing so you could not hit your head. Very dangerous if children are allowed there. No lift either so many flights of stairs to climb with luggage many times. Otherwise love the pool and position.

Fantastic location but the unit (number 8) was incredibly disappointing. After the initial FULL payment the resort tried to take the payment out of my credit card again two days later. When we arrived for out stay the apartment was dirty, there was sand in the bed, the blind in the bedroom would not close fully, the cistern on the toilet was broken, the shower constantly leaked, we were made to feel like it was a \"privilege\" when we asked for clean towels the next day, the tea towel was dirty, the cutlery and glassware was a mix of about 5 different sets and the apartment was old, tired and not as advertised when booked. Then, to add insult to injury, there was another attempt to charge my credit card for the full booking amount again an hour after we left the resort. Would never stay here again and feel cheated and ripped off.

Great location\n

This property is right on the beach and has a lovely pool.
The interior is dated and only has very basic facilities, however it is comfortable. The bed and lounge furniture are all good quality but the bathroom is in need of a renovation.
The thick louvred blinds in the living area of our apartment are awful as they block light and what would have been a pleasant view. The lighting generally is poor and the unit is dark during the day. The management are very helpful and the unit was ver clean. It really just needs an upgrade.

Winter Break in Noosa

Sandcastles is a 4 star lodging and is well located on the quieter end of Hasting Street. Beach access is directly from the complex pool area. It is a clean and well maintained with the apartment we stayed in having a new toilet and bathroom. The pool is clean and heated which is essential for this time of year and the spa is great. Reception are very courteous and looked after any request we had promptly. Only minor complaint is some of the bed pillows need upgrading.
