Makepeace Island — Hotel in Noosa North Shore

Just returned from 5 nights at MakePeace with a group of close friends. From the moment we arrived the staff were exceptional. Jason on the boat was one of the nicest, most helpful and accommodating people I have ever met. We needed the boat early every morning and late every night to go for surfs on the Noosa Point breaks and he was more than happy to have everything ready to roll at first light and bring us back in the dark at night. Absolute legend of a guy! Lisa in the kitchen is a phenomenal chef. Everything she made was delicious and was more than happy to whip up some plain pasta and avocado toast for our young daughter. ||The accommodation is straight out of Bali. Beautiful traditional Balinese houses with all the modern amenities you need. The bathrooms and entry leave you feeling a sense of calm and relaxation as soon as you enter the rooms. The waterfall and pond in the middle of the house is beautiful, especially at night when the turndown service lights the candles surrounding it. Our daughter also enjoyed feeding the small goldfish in the pond every morning. ||The common areas are very beautiful yet functional. All the hand carved wood details in the doors and daybeds is amazing and the pool is perfectly designed for function and beauty. We really enjoyed swimming during the day and relaxing in the warm spa at sunset. The grounds are immaculately maintained and gorgeous. A perfect blend of hardwood walkways and natural forestry from villa to villa. ||There's 2 small issues that prevented me from going 5 stars. One is the mattress/pillows. Our mattress was very hard and the pillows were too thin. It seems like nitpicking when your at a place so beautiful and maybe I am just used to a softer memory foam but we found it difficult to get a good nights sleep and woke with slightly sore shoulders, and neck. The other issue is the boat noise. Although this place is as secluded as you can possibly get in Noosa there is some boat noise from the river. I am a deep sleeper so I really didn't notice it at all but some of the other people in our group are light sleepers and they noticed it in the mornings. ||All in all MakePeace is an amazing place and we had an exceptional experience staying there. If you looking for peace, tranquility and luxury all while being 5min from the heart of Noosa this is the perfect place to stay! Great for romantic getaways, family time and the perfect place to unplug and unwind. Thanks to all the staff there for making it a great stay and for looking after...

We have just returned from 4 glorious days on Makepeace Island, and if someone held a gun to my head and forced me to choose my favourite part..... I couldn’t. Everything was absolutely PERFECT! The Villas, the service, the food, cleanliness, thoughtfulness, and a complete respect for the surrounding environment and eco-system - all of it was just perfect.||||Our rooms were stunning and catered for everything - the lack of televisions was actually such a blessing! Time was able to stand still, and after such a horrible year, the mental health break was so beneficial. Zeb, the Island’s Super Chef, is a magician. His passion and knowledge was on every plate, but he was also happy to cater for our very fussy 10 year old, which meant the world to us. An absolute legend and an asset to the Island.||||To beautiful Celine, Maxine, Laura and everyone who bent over backwards for us - we honestly cannot thank you enough. Even “Crazy Paul”, the boat driver who took the kids out tubing on the river..... you created memories they’ll never, ever forget. We miss you all so much! ❤️||||You will not regret experiencing Makepeace Island in any way you can. It’s an incredibly special place, filled with incredibly special people. Thank you. We hope to be back...

The main area is a nice Balinese in style and the staff are very pleasant and helpful What a shock when we got to our room. No TV no Radio no bedside tables , no chair and no room to move just depressing dark brown walls. ||How they could even compare to a 5 star is beyond me unless it is because of the names associated with the ownership. I can’t begin to imagine the cost of the place that at a real stretch could only barely reach 4 stars .Hanging rails for clothes too high up for most to reach but with about 12 cms of rail in two places you can’t fit much. There is a fridge and tea making facilities. The bed is quite soft and was slightly dipped so not good for a sore back. No feather pillows but I did organize some slightly softer ones instead of the very hard ones on the bed when we arrived.There are stairs everywhere so beware. Our room had a balcony & was at the boat ramp but was very noisy. If we we surprised the others had to share a bathroom & toilet. As well as that as they were near the main area they said it was very noisy||The swimming pool was nice but the entire place had a tennis court a few rather old gym equipment pieces and nowhere to go for a walk. No paths where you could stroll or have a nice long walk...
