Noosa Visitor Information Centre: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Very friendly and helpful! Thank you we really benefit from their advices
Fantastic experience: It's so refreshing to talk to someone in the local tourist information centre, and Lu didn't disappoint. She was helpful, enthusiastic and so knowledgeable. The youth could learn a thing or two by visiting here, rather than using social media and influences to guide them. It's good to talk. Thanks again Lu. The Salmons , UK
Fantastic experience: I had a vehicle stolen from the headlands carport, the 2 ladies at the info center were amazingly kind and helpful. Bought me a coffee, gave me a teeshirt to wear and helped organize a taxi ride etc. Thanks again!!
Positive experience: Rosita is such a lovely and helpful person on any local and general overall Aussie experiences. A good chat! I was put off by the man that I was directed to sit down with and make the booking with after talking with her. We started going over the dates, he called to inquire if Wednesday was free rather than getting all open dates for the week, he seemed bothered to call back and in general seemed to be in a rush. I was wanting to do the 18-35 y/o age group K’gari tour to avoid the chance at younger impatient children on a very long full day tour in the hot sun and in nature, I wanted it to be relaxing and no loud screaming. I feel many adults would prefer this! When I inquired on this tour, he told me the tour was for “young people and also people my age”. Nobody had asked my age yet, I am 31, I am young and look young! It was such a rude comment that stuck with me for a couple of weeks now (mind you, the man that made this comment was in 40’s or 50’s and should know better), I ended up booking a tour directly because of this. I surely can’t be the only one this person is speaking to this way. Often saying less is more, the age comment could have been avoided entirely or it could have simply been inquired on my age and just refer to the tour as the “18-35 y/o tour” rather than saying it’s for young people and people your age. The man was rushed, seemed put off and rude in general.
Fantastic experience: Staff were really friendly and helpful. They guided us in the right direction and greeted us with smile.
Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review, we're so happy to hear that the team were helpful and you enjoyed your visit.

Fantastic experience: Robyn was extremely helpful in assisting me with a logistical pickle I encountered when travelling.
Negative experience: The lady here is not knowledgeable in what there is to do or see around the place. Noosa is very unhappy about tourists coming in to check out the small town, which was very unwelcoming for travellers visiting. It is not traveller friendly in any way and no places to rest for people passing by, which is ridiculous considering travellers are the main income for this small town.
Fantastic experience: 2 Adoring Mature ladies as employees They definitely deserve an award Very friendly very helpful and very knowledgeable! Thanks very much ladies !
Fantastic experience: Thank you Dan & the volunteers at the information centre ! You were so helpful !
Fantastic experience: Extremely helpful staff Gave me things to do with the kids Lots of great resources in here. Glad I went in. Easy to get to. Thanks again!
Fantastic experience: Good quality information was provided to us about places that one can visit in and around Noosa. Very friendly lady guided us well.
Fantastic experience: Most hotels have visitor information brochures . Went to the information centre and the staff are very friendly , knowledgeable and gave great advise and when and where to go.
Dear John,
Thank you so much for tacking the time to leave this lovely review of our team, all passionate Noosa locals who adore sharing insights into all Noosa has to offer. We look forward to welcoming you back soon!

Positive experience: Hallo, einmal war ich auch hier im Noosa Visitor Information Centre, als ich zu Gast in Noosa war. Ein relativ großes Laden Büro direkt an der Hauptstraße am Strand. Hier kann man schon ein paar nützliche Informationen erlangen. Die Beratungen durch das Personal waren gut. Es gab hier viele Broschüren und Magazine über die Gegend zwischen der Sunshine Coast und der Fraser Coast. Souvenirs gab es hier nicht wirklich aber nur ein paar Meter weiter hat man da genug Auswahl.
Thank you Jens for visiting Noosa and our Information Centre, located next door to the Noosa Heads Surf Club, 61 Hastings St Noosa Heads.
We hope to welcome you back to our paradise soon!
Safe travels.

Fantastic experience: The staff was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Special thanks to Sue for all the tips.
Fantastic experience: Amazing team of mainly volunteers who love sharing their local knowledge about places to see, things to do and how to relax and enjoy your time in Noosa.

Negative experience: Absolutely disgusting in the service I got today from one of the ladies. I was asked if I needed any help and normally I would say no but I’m traveling sólo so I asked for recommendations on places to dine. I was given attitude and told just to talk down the street and the lady then walked away no other assistance given. I honestly felt like I was treated like I was the scum of the earth. I have never felt so disrespected before. The whole point of a vistior Centre is to help people and to be friendly. I definitely did not receive this and I expect better.
Dear Charmaine,
I am so sorry to read this review of the service you received at our centre, this is highly unusual and I would really love to talk with you about your experience. Can you please give me a call on : 0423 879 968.
I really hope to hear from you so I can understand the details of the poor customer service you experienced.
My sincere apologies.

Positive experience: Lack of knowledge about Qld public transport ticketing. Centre open 9-5pm Mon to Fri. For tourists, don't know where to buy the bus ticket. Post office not sale the ticket. Only some newsagents sale the ticket which is further away from the main Beach area. Ticket machine at Noosa Junction area not working. Some bus drivers are good other are so Grumpy and not much help. Need improvement.
Dear Kym,
Thank you for taking the time to write this review. We are all eagerly awaiting Translinks brand new ticketing system that will replace the current frustrating State Go Card system. We expect this to be introduced by mid-year.
Visitors to Noosa will then be able to use their own payment cards to purchase tickets on the bus so buying a Go Card will not be an issue.
Warm regards

Negative experience: We were sold a go explore card that had already expired
Dear Mel,
I am sorry that you had an issue with the Go Card you puchased, this is highly unusual.
We purchase these cards 'pre-loaded' with the $10 credit from a reputable supplier. I can only assume this was a once off card issue. I hope when you returned it to the Centre you received helpful service and a refund.
Warm regards

Fantastic experience: They are so helpful. My Freediving courses is posted there and they are great at promoting it
Fantastic experience: We were assisted by a very friendly and well informed lady. We went away with a little package of maps and leaflets matching our interests. Highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: Everyone there is so helpful! We wanted to find out where we could put our luggage on the last day so we could enjoy another nice day at the beach. We were allowed to leave our luggage with them and they helped us organise some things like getting to our bus. For all your needs, try here first! I can't imagine that they don't at least try everything to help you!
Positive experience: So... I'm a couple of days late providing this feedback. It would have been a 5-star review as the staff was lovely and very helpful on the day of booking an afternoon tour to the Everglades taking place today. As I was spending the morning with friends and lunch had been planned, I went by the office to ask them to change my pickup point. They said this wasn't possible... so I skipped the lunch and went back to wait for my pickup... only to find the bus driving right back to the Noosa Heads. Apart from this, a good overall feeling about this office
Hi Edda,
Thank you for your review and follow up. The Everglades are amazing and I hope you enjoyed that unique experience.
As the Everglades departure points are all scheduled with the company and the driver in advance at time of booking if it was on the same day it would have been difficult/impossible to change the location, if it was the day before the fab booking desk team could definitely make that work.
I am so happy that you found our ' vollies' so helpful overall.
Please pop in when you are next in Noosa.
Warm regards

Fantastic experience: Super friendly and funny staff. They can only sell a daily bus ticket of a value of 10$ (no card or single ticket available).
Hi Maina005 and thank you for your review. You are so right, our team are super friendly and great for a laugh and a chat. We all love working here and it shows. Translink is looking to introduce a new ticketing system early 2023 which we all look forward to so visitors can tap and pay on the local buses. The day Explorer Card we sell is great to get our holiday-makers to the Eumundi markets and airport but longer stays do require a standard Go-Card. We have a list of the suppliers near us.
Please say hi when you are next in Noosa.

Negative experience: Situated in the middle of the town, parking was not visitor friendly. No real tourist information available for area - mainly shops and beach.
Hi Graeme,
Thank you for taking the time to review our service.
Parking in Hastings St can be challenging when town is busy. We do recommend, where possible, that our visitors use the bus services, which are free on weekends also. Parking in Noosa Junction is readily available and a short walk over the hill to Main Beach.
I hope you found some time to visit the stunning Noosa National Park which runs adjacent to our beautiful beaches.
I do hope next time you are in town we are able to satisfy your information requirements.
Kindest regards
Anna
