Skippers Cove Waterfront Resort

We stayed here over NY with my two young kids and loved the accomodation. They’re very accomodating to families and the lagoon pools were great for our kids (1.5 years and 3years) they were able to splash around in the shallows and play with other kids from the resort. The resort was very quiet which was great too.

Disappointing. The bed was rock hard, the pillows pathetic, the bathrooms in desperate need of a revamp and not cleaned properly. We would have expected shower gel and face washers, but neither of these were provided. A big disappointment due to the prices being charged. We would not come back, nor recommend to friends. As you can see from the photos, the place was filthy. We stayed in apartment number 2

A year late (remembered as we are booking here again!) but wanted to share our experience. James & Leanne are so accommodating and helpful! We stayed in late March 2022 for 5 nights in a beachfront 3 bedroom (ground floor - the only way to go!) - it was AMAZING! The views, the direct beach access (so fab for kids, as we could sit on the deck and relax while they played), free kayaks, pool (x2), location, everything! The apartment itself is huge and had absolutely everything we could want or need for an extended stay! I did a LOT of research before staying here, I knew I wanted absolute beachfront in this area, and the other places I looked at didn't compare (many didn't even have aircon!). My partner also surprised the kid and walked into Noosaville, hired a boat for a few hours and drove the boat to the dock out the front of our place to collect us :) My daughter still talks about it (and the friend she made in the other waterfront apartment) and we have just booked here again for easter holidays - do it, you will not regret it!

Nice swimming pool, BBQ area, very close to the beach, free kayaks.

We stayed at Skippers Cove for 11 nights in apartment number 25 (poolside) which was perfect for us with kids aged 7 and 5. We loved that this apartment was tucked just off to the side and a bit more secluded and quiet then the other apartments. Our lounge looked out to a courtyard/garden and had direct access to the pool area via a pool gate. The apartment itself was beautiful and clean and contained everything we needed, we were even able to cook some basic meals throughout our stay, which is a huge advantage when your holidaying with tired kids. Hosts Leanne and James were lovely, friendly people who were very attentive and quick to address some minor maintenance issues that we mentioned during our stay. We also loved that the canoes are free to borrow, as is the equipment for the half tennis court. Overall, a fantastic family friendly resort. We loved our stay and would definitely stay again.

Great location. Clean, tidy 2 bedroom pool view apartment. Easy access to the beach and short walk to Gympie terrace for restaurants and cafes. Free buses during summer to Hastings st restaurants. Facilities are good, from the pool, spa and bbq

This was a great find for our family of 5. Fabulous view from our 2nd floor room. We initially enquired about a lower room to be right on the waterfront but none were available, we were more than happy with the 2nd story though. Pool was lovely, we were there late April and it was still warm enough to swim. We used the kayaks several times and explored around the safe waterway. If there was any constructive criticism it would be that the couch in the lounge (Rm 12) is terribly uncomfortable to sit on! Hopefully this is in the plans to get a new one.

We stayed here for 6 nights and didn’t want to leave. The managers are really friendly. The apartment was very clean and comfortable. It was an easy walk to local cafes and not too far to walk to Hastings street.

We really enjoyed our stay at Skippers Cove. The location was great on Noosa River, beautiful and peaceful whilst being close to Hastings Street. We did not have a car during our stay, but made use of the free weekend Noosa bus as the bus stop was only a few minutes walk from the property. The 2 bedroom apartment was huge with beautiful waterfront views! We would definitely recommend choosing a waterfront apartment. The apartment was very clean and had everything you could need and more, which made our short stay hassle free. The owners were excellent, giving you the right balance of space whilst also attentive and friendly. On our last morning James went above and beyond, offering to take us to Noosa bus station when we were unable to get a taxi. This shows the personal attention they give every guest and high quality service offered. Thank you again for a fantastic stay!
