Your tranquil escape by the lake. Minutes from Noosa and sunny coast beaches.

Welcome to Waiam Cottage – your peaceful escape by the lake.

This cosy, self-contained one-bedroom cottage offers the perfect blend of comfort, privacy, and connection to nature. Whether you’re here to unwind, explore Noosa and the Sunshine Coast, or simply enjoy a morning coffee while watching the birdlife, we hope you’ll feel completely at home.

Waiam Cottage is just a short stroll from the peaceful shores of Lake Weyba and only an easy drive to Noosa, northern Sunshine Coast beaches, and the famous Eumundi Markets.

Privacy & setting

NATURE & WILDLIFE
The natural setting here is something special. You’re staying in a small bird sanctuary, with around 30 native bird species spotted so far. In the evenings you may hear frogs calling, and you might also spot other local wildlife sharing the space.

LOCAL HIGHLIGHTS

A beautiful, ever-changing lake that shifts from glassy calm at sunrise to shimmering and lively in the afternoon breeze. Ideal for walking, kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, or watching kite surfers later in the day.

Flying West Coffee Roasters – Fellowship Drive, Doonan
A much-loved local café just minutes away. Funky, friendly, and known for excellent coffee and food.

Thanks so much for having us! We had an amazing stay — from the well-equipped kitchen and plenty of tea and coffee, to the paddle bikes to explore the lake, everything was perfect. The place was clean, comfy, and so easy to enjoy. Really appreciate your hospitality — would definitely love to stay again Regards Ray and Nav :)))
