Areas that are not accessible
In general the resort offers a high level of access and most facilities can be used by people in wheelchairs or with limited mobility. Currently the only access into the pool is via steps (without a rail). The lift is compact and four wheeled scooters may not fit in, so it is advisable to check dimensions first.
Hastings Street and Noosa Beach are down hill from the resort. The pedestrian pathway is steep and may be difficult for people with a disability. Alternatively, accessible parking is available at the beach. There is also a local bus stop outside Noosa Blue (bus has two steps to enter).
Tariffs

A living work of art
The developer's concept for Noosa Blue was to create a living work of art and bring to life the inspiring thoughts of Mexico's most revered architect, Ricardo Legorreta. The unique Noosa Look is reflected in the imaginative use of space, natural materials, colour and original artworks, which are their own source of pleasure.
