Have you been to Kin Kin? It is a quaint town located in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland, circa 40 minutes’ drive from Noosa Heads. Kin Kin is an area well known for its art scene and great tasty food. The drive to Kin Kin will enable you to enjoy the wonderful scenery surrounding the Noosa area. Kin Kin is an aboriginal word referring to a small black ant that was common in the area. It may have been so common they named it twice!

Kin Kin began its days as a timber town and was famous because of its much sought after cedars and eucalypts. In later years it became an area popular for dairy farming.

Nowadays many artists reside in the area including an artist who makes all his pieces from recycled metals. Kin Kin is also an area that has become synonymous with health and wellbeing with a well known health retreat and a massage school located here. You may have already heard, Kin Kin tea (a herbal drop) is also produced in the region.

Kin Kin is also close to a series of nature tracks and trails called the Noosa Network Trail. Nature lovers, hikers, mountain bike riders and horse riders are all able to use the tracks.

We invite you to explore and enjoy the scenic beauty of the Noosa region. Come along and stay in Noosa Heads where it can be the base for you to explore the region. OzeHols offer you a wide range of Noosa Heads accommodation, including Noosa holiday rentals to suit your budget.
