With filtered views stretching easterly from the Noosa River to the Noosa National Park, there’s an emphasis on privacy, the only intrusions being trees and birdsong.

Alfresco living is synonymous of all spaces. It’s generous to a fore, including high ceilings with a VJ profile and marble-tiled floors. The partially enclosed outside area has an outdoor kitchen with refrigerator, sink and a top-of-the-range Electrolux integrated barbeque and burner. Entertaining doesn’t get any better even when the temperature drops, just turn on the wall-mounted eco fireplace. After-all some like it hot!

To say the master bedroom with terrace and oversize ensuite is as sumptuous as a 5-star hotel is an understatement. Ditto two guest bedrooms with sliding doors opening onto a large balcony which looks out to bushland, and over two pools (one is indoors), a well-equipped gymnasium, sun lounges and pool-side barbeque facilities, which are for the exclusive use of Iluka residents.

Looking from the kitchen, glance to the right and note the media room and an office, also fully appreciate the fluidity inside and out through the dining and living areas. All picture perfect.

The island bench with its palette of caesar-stone, beech timber and American oak plus the on-trend Zip hydrotap is impressive, and the cabinetry’s overall seamless look is attributed to integrating appliances, such as a Miele refrigerator and wine fridge.

First impressions do count especially when you enter the lobby, but finding out later about some more pretty smart inclusions, is an intriguing moment or use the remote control which also applies to automated blinds. In addition an infra-red security system, video intercom, built-in speaker system and a fully ducted, multi-zoned reverse-cycle air- conditioner, have been installed.

“And did you know the complex’s jetty is a three minute walk away? Forget the car and book the water taxi to your favourite restaurant near or on the Noosa River. ”

Settlers Cove is a multi award-winning apartment precinct with the highest design standards, finishes and inclusions. There is nothing comparable in Noosa Heads or environs.
