At The Sound Noosaville – Dog Friendly Studio Escapes
Relaxed, riverside living with space for you and your pup.
At The Sound is a laid-back stay in Noosaville, a short stroll from the Noosa River foreshore and just minutes’ drive to Hastings Street. It’s an easygoing alternative to the big resorts, with studio apartments that feel more like a local hideaway. Best of all, a handful of rooms are dog friendly (rare around here) so you can enjoy the Sunshine Coast lifestyle without leaving your pup behind.

Our Take
At The Sound is about location and simplicity: self-contained studios, a pool to cool off and space to feel like a local. Having a handful of dog-friendly units here means you can enjoy Noosaville’s relaxed river lifestyle without compromise. Think morning walks along the esplanade, afternoons spent on the balcony or on walks to Hastings St and easy drives to Noosa’s dog beaches.
Why We Recommend On The Sound
Because it’s one of the few smaller, affordable properties in Noosa that genuinely opens its doors to dogs. You don’t need to be on Hastings Street to enjoy the best of the Sunshine Coast – a stay here keeps you close to the action while giving your pup the freedom of riverside living.
