About this space

Just 5 minutes from Noosa yet completely its own world, Alkira is a luminous shoot location nestled in the lush hills of Doonan, Queensland. Named for the word meaning “bright and sunny,” this newly renovated home brings a serene, sun-washed energy to every frame—making it a compelling backdrop for fashion editorials, branding content, and elevated lifestyle campaigns.

The design channels a relaxed coastal aesthetic with a Mediterranean twist, brought to life through a considered blend of natural materials and soft tonal contrasts. Inside, timber floors, crisp VJ panelling, and luxe hotel-inspired bathrooms provide layered texture and clean lines. Every detail feels shoot-ready—from the warm, airy living spaces to the curated finishes that make even wide shots feel styled.

One of the home’s most photogenic zones is the upper-level deck, where light pours across the timber flooring and frames views of the surrounding landscape. It looks directly over a beautifully designed pool and cabana area—a true hero location, equally suited to sun-drenched swimwear shoots or serene product campaigns. The expansive gardens and glimpses of ocean complete the picture, offering multiple outdoor zones that flow seamlessly between soft lawn, established plantings, and hardscape.

The layout supports full-day creative use with ease, offering plenty of indoor and outdoor areas to shoot and reset. There’s strong natural light throughout the day, high usability for stylists and crew, and movable elements that allow for framing flexibility.

Whether you’re shooting wellness content at golden hour by the pool, capturing brand stories in the soft-textured living zones, or setting up a full editorial production, Alkira offers a rare combination of calm, cohesion, and shoot-day functionality—all just minutes from Noosa’s heart.
