We enjoyed our stay at Noosa Habitat, although it was not what we expected. It is an average camp ground/caravan park in a nice location. Not more, not less. There are some nicer sites than others, and when we come back, we know which ones to pick. The boat trip to the Everglades was not as spectacular as we were made to believe, and although it’s the “only other Everglades in the World”, it really is just a boat ride/canoe/kayak up a river white various wider and narrower passages and where vegetation is dense so you can’t really stop/anchor/leave your watercraft to go exploring or stop for a picnic except where there are designated areas. I am sure other national parks in Australia are exactly the same, they just don’t market it as well. The campground has all the facilities, but clearly has not enough toilets since in the mornings even the men’s toilets had a long queue during high season in the mornings and you walk a far way to the only toilet block on the whole camp ground. The showers on top of it are even located only at the main building, although numerous there and very clean. The bar with its own brewery did not disappoint, even making drinks not on the menu, and the food was decent too, but being remote as it is, obviously not cheap. There is no shop but a small selections of essentials is on sale in a vending machine and at the bar. The beach with the tea-tree coloured water (aka brown) is ideal for kids as it does not get deep at all. In fact not more than 50cm as far as you can walk into the lake, so very safe. The glamping tents looked great, but again if you stay there, you pay a big premium. Overall, what’s marketed as premium eco tourism, is a bit far fetched, as in the end, it’s just a camp ground in a nice location. Well managed and friendly, but not without any outstanding extras to write home about. There wasn’t even a playground for the kids, which would seem an easy addition to accomodate families even bettere.
