Still looking for a place to stay. Everything looks great so location may be the deciding factor and leaning towards Noosa. How will we get from various motels to DO functions without a rental car?

Any events in Noosa you'd probably just walk to, which is why you don't want to stay too far out without a car. If there's any organized tours, those would involve a bus and there would be announced pick-up points.

Thanks. I'm now booked at The Islander Noosa Resort.

If anyone wants three nights at Kingfisher Bay Resort on Fraser Island, Luxury Escapes has a deal for two at $399. Includes breakfasts, return ferry transfers from Hervey Bay, guided nature walks, resort credit and bottle of wine.
I have purchased one and deciding whether to go before or after OzFest.

Having stayed there several years back I definitely recommend this! As I recall they had a very informative wine tasting and great one day 4x4 excursion where you could add on a short scenic flight from the beach.

As a side note, I'd appreciate being moved from "Gold" to "Platinum" ... I confirmed my attendance in a post back in July.

At the same time, you can certainly moved me from "Silver" to "Gold".
