Alexandria Retreat

Alexandria Retreat is a bed and breakfast in the Noosa Hinterland, near Eumundi on the Sunshine Coast, offering a quieter alternative to a beachside stay. Set among the hinterland’s natural surroundings, the retreat sits at 350 metres above sea level and looks east across Lake Weyba towards the coast. From the property and the Bicentennial Lookout at the end of the drive, guests can take in views towards Noosa Heads, Noosa National Park, the Cooloola Coast, Eumundi and the wider Sunshine Coast Hinterland.

The accommodation is designed around comfort and downtime. Rooms include an ensuite bathroom, queen-size bed, tea and coffee-making facilities, a bar fridge, TV/DVD, fan and heater, free Wi-Fi, and luxury bed linen, towels and toiletries. Outside, guests can use the 90,000-litre pool or the 10,000-litre spa, which has air seats and therapeutic hydro jets. The setting is particularly suited to travellers looking to slow down, enjoy the outlook and have the essentials close at hand without staying in the middle of a busy town centre.

Breakfast is a notable part of the stay, with a choice of à la carte options served indoors or on the terrace. The listed styles include Full English, Continental, Decadent and Healthy, and the chef can accommodate individual preferences. The website also highlights sunrise views and local wildlife, adding to the sense of a hinterland escape rather than a conventional hotel stay.

Alexandria Retreat has been established in the Noosa area for 10 years. Shaun Wilson and Paul Hincke oversee the properties from the Alexandria location, while the wider team brings a combined 80 years of hospitality experience. With its pool, spa, views and breakfast service, the retreat suits visitors seeking a peaceful Sunshine Coast base, whether they are travelling alone or sharing a considered getaway. It is also part of the same two-property offering as L'Auberge Noosa, allowing guests to discuss a two-centre holiday that combines hinterland accommodation with a stay in Noosa Heads.
