Commodore, Apartment 5

This apartment has just undergone a complete renovation and transformation. When the first sight that claims attention as you walk through the front door of your apartment is the glint of warm sunlight on beautiful emerald waters, you know you’ve found something special in your home away from home. And at this stylish apartment in Noosa Heads, the panorama is only the beginning. Part of an absolute waterfront complex that stretches along the Noosa River, the two-bedroom property holds a prime position on its mid-floor. And its appeal stretches seamlessly from the outdoors to the in.

With sophistication serving as the guiding rule, the apartment’s interior design and decor are equal parts thoughtful and artful. United by a soothing palette that draws on neutral hues, warm timbers and inviting blues, it marries the stylish with the understated. The bedrooms, positioned apart for a welcome sense of privacy, include a spacious ensuited master space that drinks in magnificent water views through a wide expanse of glass and shutters, allowing morning sunshine to replace your alarm clock and the gentle wash of water to soothe you off to sleep. The other bedroom embraces a nautical theme that’s perfectly attuned to its location with a separate bathroom.

In the heart of the floorplan, a lifestyle hub encourages a sense of community, from the shared pleasures of cooking and eating in the well-equipped kitchen and adjacent dining space to the chance to chill in the lounge, which has room enough for your whole party. From there, shuttered banks of glass lead through to a chic furnished terrace, which encourages the pursuit of personal pleasures. Relax around the pool with a good book, set up a board game around the table and chairs or fire up the barbecue to grill a tasty lunch or dinner. All the while take in the activity on the river, as watercraft of all sort make the most of its emerald expanse.

With double communal pools and a jetty, the complex offers myriad avenues to embrace your thirst for activities enjoyed on, in and under the water. This extends across the wider coast, taking advantage of your proximity to all the hot spots and must-do attractions.

Heading off, a short, flat walk is all that’s needed to arrive at world-famous Noosa Main Beach, where golden sands and crystal-clear waters make for an enchanting natural partnership. Gaze in awe, take plenty of photos, dive in or grab a spot under a beach brolly. You can have as much, or as little, time here as you desire. Other tourist favourites to explore include the restaurants of Quamby Place, the lush green environs of Noosa National Park, the nearby delights of Gympie Terrace and even the popular local surf breaks, which underscore the beautiful relationship between the community and its stretch of coastline. With so many fabulous watery panoramas to share with the crowd, and then that slice of river view to call your own back home, it’s all about the chance to recapture time and again that breathtaking moment you first opened the front door. Cherish it and enjoy.
