Top hotels in Ridgewood
Holiday Inn Express & Suites Sunshine Coast by IHG
A reasonable express hotel. The free breakfast was good, top floor had good views, and top floor facilities such as the pool / fitness room / $2 laundry were much appreciated. WiFi issues were sorted quickly when asked. However, there was also some confusion from staff around the process for parking ...

RACV Noosa Resort
Well setup for families with great pool area, games room, soft play etc. Buffet breakfast was nice, otherwise the food was average. King suite was comfy and spacious, but kitchen was too basic to cook in. Overall great for families and staff very friendly.

Noosa Lakes Resort
Lovely resort, the bedroom upstairs was too hot to sleep in, we ended up sleeping on the lounge room. Nice pool with bbq facilities and short walk to Tewantin.

Great location, hotel amenities and room was well appointed and maintained. 4 pools meant not overcrowded even though resort had lots of guests. Good transport available to Noosa Heads. Supermarket and cafes, restaurants in walking distance. All staff were polite and helpful
