The Rise, aptly named due to its location atop the main hill in Noosa, does have stairs between levels of the property. Elevators are available in some parts of the property for added convenience. Please also note, some of our apartments are two-storey duplex style townhouses. If you struggle with stairs, or have a stroller, please contact reception for the best advised apartment for your stay.

Yes, one of the great things about The Rise is that it is mid way between the bustling Noosa Junction and the world famous Hasting Street strip, so you have the widest possible range of shopping and eating options on your door step.

The Reef offers family friendly dining, and our favourite local Italian Bombetta is great for a delicious pizza or pasta and they even deliver to The Rise if you would rather enjoy dinner on your balcony.

If heading to The Junction options for fun low key family dining at Noosa Junction include Bombetta’s, Mr Drifter and Montezuma’s Mexican, but there are plenty of other options in the Junction strip.

If heading to Hastings Street then the Noosa Surf Club is a family favourite as is Grill’d and Betty’s Burgers or El Capitano and Zachary’s for pizzas, Bang Bang for Thai to name a few.
