What Makes Boreen Point and Lake Cootharaba Your Ideal Coastal Holiday Destination

Boreen Point is a small village about 30 minutes drive from Noosa overlooking the sandy beaches and pleasant picnic spots of Lake Cootharaba. It is a beautiful place, quite untouched by developers and still feels like a small fishing village; quiet, still, and peaceful.

Lake Cootharaba is actually a tidal lake attached to the Noosa River system so some people even go shopping by boat and moor in Noosa. The famous Lake Cootharaba is a very large, shallow lake that is very popular nationally for boating, canoeing, kayaking, fishing, sailing and windsurfing.

The lake is also the southern entrance to Cooloola’s waterways. From here, you can explore the more protected waters of Kin Kin Creek, upper Noosa river and its tributaries. On the lake’s other (eastern) shore there are the Teewah coloured sands and the coastal section of the Cooloola National Park.

Boreen Point is the camping and accommodation centre for the lake. It has a range of holiday accommodation including holiday houses, units and cottages, as well as caravan parks. Boreen Point is also home to the Apollonian Hotel, known as the historic hotel nestled in the heart of the Noosa hinterland.

This unspoilt hotspot is visited by sailing and boating enthusiasts, making it an ideal destination and a wonderful place for a coastal holiday.
