The Tingirana Noosa has the most perfect location and the infinity pool by the beach is a dream. The staff here are really attentive and we would only stay here if we were lucky enough to visit Noosa again. - Sarah

Dear Tingirana, Thanks so much for an immensely perfect stay. Great staff, great people, great resort from the maintenance and cleaning staff up to the management at every level. We can’t wait to return next year.” - Bobby and Rosy

Our first time at Tingirana and will definitely not be our last . Truly a magical place to stay, our beachfront suite lived up to our expectations. Stunning views with the pool and beach at your doorstep. The staff were fantastic and always friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended. Our only request is for an ottoman to be placed in the lounge area when watching TV and relaxing. - Tom

Loved the location on the beach, and only a few steps to many places to eat. Friendly staff, well appointed rooms and resort, and very convenient parking underneath (which is needed in Noosa as parking can be a challenge). Hope to be back soon. - Annette
