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 The cottage is a freestanding building set on acreage. While the main house nearby, the cottage is positioned to feel private and secluded, with its own access, outlook, and outdoor space. You can drive right up to the cottage and enjoy undercover parking directly on the porch. The cottage includes: • King size bed • Sofa bed in the living space • Fully equipped kitchen with oven, cooktop, microwave, fridge, and cooking essentials • Complimentary starter pack with tea, instant coffee, and Nespresso capsules • Wi-Fi and air conditioning • Two smart TVs • Bathroom with shower, towels, starter toiletries, and hair dryer • Washing machine/dryer, laundry powder, iron, and pegs for the clothesline • All linen provided, with spares • Undercover parking on the cottage porch • BBQ • Outdoor dining and casual seating overlooking the pond – perfect for a quiet breakfast or an evening glass of wine • Two mountain bikes for exploring the local area • Stand-up paddleboard for Lake Weyba, just a short walk away NATURE & WILDLIFE The natural setting here is something special.

In the evenings you may hear frogs calling, and you might also spot other local wildlife sharing the space.
