Description

Recently reimagined by a passionate team of local designers and craftspeople, Halse Lodge now blends nostalgic charm with modern comfort. From restored timber floors and the original 1880s piano to playful interiors inspired by 1970s beach holidays, the Lodge is a celebration of Noosa’s spirit - past and present.

Join us for a captivating Walk and Talk to hear the story of Halse Lodge, Noosa’s longest continuously operating guesthouse, originally built in the 1880s. Nestled just behind Hastings Street, this heritage listed treasure has welcomed generations of travellers, locals, and beachgoers. Discover how the Lodge evolved from a humble guest house into a vibrant community hub, and hear tales of its colourful past, including its role in shaping Noosa’s laid-back coastal identity.

The event includes a Noosa Heritage panel Talk (approx. 20mins) with Richard McGilvray Shaun Walsh, Gina Sheer.

Whether you're a history buff, architecture lover, or simply curious, this tour offers a unique chance to connect with the heart of Noosa through one of its most beloved landmarks.

Halse Lodge is heritage listed by National Trust of Australia (Queensland)

SUNSHINE COAST OPEN HOUSE celebrates architecture, design, and heritage.

Sunshine Coast Open House is a free community event which offers rare behind-the-scenes access to the Sunshine Coast’s best buildings ranging from private homes, corporate buildings, heritage treasures and sustainable spaces.

The next annual Sunshine Coast Open House event will run from 16-25 October 2026 with the What Is Home Forum kicking off on 16 October followed by an events weekend (17+18 October) and buildings weekend (24+25 October). It will showcase historic, contemporary and sustainable buildings from Caloundra to the Hinterland and Cooran under the 2026 theme of Sustainable Inclusive Design.

Sunshine Coast Open House was founded in 2017 by the Sunshine Coast Council, Noosa Council and the Australian Institute of Architects (Sunshine Coast Committee). Open House has received generous funding and in-kind support from the Sunshine Coast Council’s Arts and Heritage Levy and other government, corporate and community organisations. In its inaugural year, Sunshine Coast Open House celebrated the 50th anniversary of the official naming of the Sunshine Coast.

The Open House event has opened many architecturally diverse buildings each year for the public to tour. Sunshine Coast Open House also hosts a number of associated events, walking tours, and talks each year, including its annual Open Forum which focuses on topical, thought-provoking issues.
