Tewantin Accommodation, Hotels, Tours & Information

Tewantin

Tewantin is a small but sophisticated village located on the Noosa River and is the launching point for the vehicular ferry to the Noosa North Shore, the Great Sandy National Park and Fraser Island. Historic Tewantin was originally a timber town and the river port for the Noosa area. In the late 1800s Tewantin was a small town prospering on the local gold, fishing and timber industries. For some great views of the Noosa River, relax and enjoy a picnic at Memorial Park or head to Noosa Marina, a bustling complex on the river, for coffee, a drink, an alfresco lunch or evening meal, all with river views. The 40-berth marina also has specialty shops and a private gallery, and each Sunday the Noosa Marina Markets display craft and produce stalls on the boardwalk. Discover Tewantin's history by visiting the friendly volunteers at Parkyn's Hut on Poinciana Avenue. The hut is also an accredited Visitor Information Centre and the locals there will help you make the most out of your stay. Distance from Brisbane (State Capital): 155 kilometres.
