We had an amazing experience at Skippers Cove! The location was peaceful by Noosa River yet close enough to Hastings Street for easy access. Our spacious waterfront apartment offered stunning views, and the cleanliness made our stay even more enjoyable. The only minor downside was that we wished for a few more sun lounges by the private beach. Overall, it was definitely worth every penny, and we can't wait to return!

We just had an incredible stay at Skippers Cove, enjoying the beautiful views and spacious, well-appointed rooms. The hospitality from James and Leanne truly set this place apart, making us feel right at home. I appreciated the family-friendly features like the pool and free canoe rentals, great for keeping the kids entertained! However, there were some minor issues with the air conditioning in the upper-level rooms and the light in the bedrooms was a bit insufficient, which could be improved.

I had a mixed experience at Skippers Cove. While the location by Noosa River is stunning and the apartment was spacious with beautiful views, some aspects could use improvement. Things like the uncomfortable lounge and missing air conditioning downstairs were difficult to overlook. Still, the peaceful setting and helpful hosts were definite highlights of our stay.
