Nestled on the shores of serene Lake Weyba, Eumarella Shores is a private nature escape just minutes from Noosa, yet a world away from the hustle. Whether you’re craving slow mornings with birdsong, or adventurous days on two wheels or the water, there’s no shortage of ways to explore the lake and surrounds. Here’s our round-up of the top activities to enjoy from your lakeside base.
Lake Weyba Foreshore Walk
A long-time favourite with locals and guests alike, the Lake Weyba Foreshore Walk is the perfect way to connect with nature at your own pace. In April 2024, a brand-new section was added, further extending this scenic trail. Wander past paperbark forests, tidal flats and sandy shores, spotting wildlife along the way and breathe in the tranquility that defines the lake’s edge.
Mountain biking to Peregian
Bring your bikes or hire them locally and take off on a return ride from Eumarella Shores to Peregian Beach. With an abundance of bike-friendly trails weaving through Noosa’s bushland, this half-day adventure is ideal for those wanting to stay active while taking in the views. Stop in at Peregian for a coffee or browse the boutiques before looping back lakeside.
Explore Eenie or Keyser Creek
Prefer paddling to pedalling? A short trip up Eenie Creek or Keyser Creek reveals a side of the region rarely seen by road. Accessible by kayak or paddleboard, these quiet water trails wind through pristine mangroves and paperbark forests, alive with birdcalls and fish jumping from the water. You might even spot a stingray or two gliding beneath you.
Wildlife at your doorstep
Over 45 acres of Eumarella Shores is protected under Queensland’s Nature Refuge Program, preserving its unique ecosystems for future generations. This means kangaroos on your morning walk, echidnas rustling in the undergrowth, and the occasional goanna or lace monitor sunbaking nearby. Bring your camera, but be prepared to simply pause and soak it in.
Birdwatching paradise
From estuarine birds to forest dwellers, Lake Weyba is a twitcher’s dream. The mix of tidal flats, wetlands, forest and lake supports a dazzling array of species, pelicans, egrets, honeyeaters, whipbirds, black cockatoos and more. Whether you’re an amateur birder or just enjoy nature’s soundtrack, the ever-changing birdlife is an unforgettable part of the Eumarella experience.
Enjoy your private lakeside deck
Every cottage and lakehouse at Eumarella Shores features its own private timber deck overlooking Lake Weyba, perfect for sunset wine, early morning yoga, or simply watching the water shift and shimmer throughout the day. No screens, no interruptions, just the call of kookaburras and the gentle rustle of trees.
Hire a stand-up paddleboard
Glide across glassy waters on your very own paddleboard, available for $90 per day including delivery. SUP is not only a great workout, it’s the best way to explore the lake’s many coves, mangroves and mirror-like surfaces in complete stillness. You might even catch a glimpse of stingrays beneath you as you float silently along.
