My kind of heaven

I have found my ideal holiday destination - Noosa or more specifically Noosa Heads. Noosa is on the Sunshine Coast about 160km north of Brisbane. It really is a little bit of heaven. Mum and I headed up there for a break and we were blessed with five days of glorious sunshine. The shops on Hastings Street are wonderful and many an extravagant purchase was made during our stay. But the most enjoyable part of the holiday was the food. There are so many good restaurants in the area (and the near-by Noosaville) that you are completely spoiled for choice.

We ate out three times a day every day, with the odd ice cream in between to tide us over. Lucky for us, there are some beautiful walks along the beach and through the National Park to help burn off some of the calories.

I didn’t want to take too many photos of the food in case it interfered with our meals but below are a few snaps of some of the fabulous food we enjoyed.

Eggs Benedict from Jasper’s (which was our favourite spot for breakfast). Muscles from Bistro C and an almost perfect Wagyu Steak from the River House Restaurant. These two restaurants got voted our joint favourite for dinner. But other wonderful meals were also had at Season, Berardos - which has the most elegant white and cream décor, and Sails where I took the opening picture while we were waiting to order lunch.

This is a long list of good restaurants but they really are all excellent. The only reason more are not included is because we only had five days there. We wouldn’t have been able to fit into our clothes if we had to stay any longer.

I loved Noosa and all it had to offer. If you’re coming to Australia and you enjoy good food then you have to visit Noosa. If you live in Australia then you have no excuse - it is a must-visit place. I can now see why so many people told me it was their favourite place to holiday.
