Noosa Botanic Gardens: Amphitheatre, Plant Collection and Wildlife

Tabby, --

The Noosa Botanic Gardens is a leafy oasis in the Noosa Hinterland, that might just become your new favorite escape. About 8 hectares of recreational space, nestled on the shores of Lake MacDonald. The scenic lakeside garden consisting of picnic areas, native and exotic plant species and more.

The gardens are just a scenic 25-minute drive away from the town of Noosa. Heading southwest on the Eumundi-Noosa Road, take a right at Cooroy and let the winding paths guide you to this botanical wonderland. Pack your sunscreen, picnic basket, a sense of adventure and maybe a quirky hat—because why not?
