Brisbane ranked 3rd most visited City

The city of Brisbane is a fine holiday destination which draws in millions of domestic and international tourists every year. Brisbane has vast natural beauty, great cosmopolitan culture, plenty of outdoor activities and the marvellous Brisbane River. With so much on offer, it isn’t difficult to see why so many tourists head to the Brisbane CBD for a holiday.

The results of the latest International Visitor Survey confirm this fact. Brisbane performed incredibly well in 2016 – it was the 3^rd most visited city in Australia behind Sydney and Melbourne. Along with other accommodation providers in the CBD, no doubt we’re all over the moon!

I’d still love to see Brisbane climb up and become the #1 destination in Australia. Nevertheless, third place is still great and there is certainly enough accommodation in Brisbane CBD to cater to more visitors.

Continue reading this article as I highlight some statistics of the International Visitor Survey. I’ll also outline the accommodation options you have on hand. After going through this article, hopefully you’ll plan an upcoming Brisbane holiday and choose to stay with us at Bridgewater Terraces.

Brisbane is the 3^rd most visited destination in Australia

I’m pretty sure you’re aware that Brisbane is one of the best holiday destinations in Australia. However, you may not know that Brisbane is in fact the 3^rd most visited destination in the country. This was revealed in the latest results from the International Visitor Survey.

For the quarter ending March 2016, Brisbane received 313,000 visitors. This was up from the previous year’s figure of 289,000. Moreover, visitor nights in Brisbane for the same period in 2016 were 6,766,000 as compared to 7,691,000 the previous year. This reveals that even though more tourists visited Brisbane, they stay for a shorter period of time.

This statistic on visitor nights is what is of most interest to myself, given I provide accommodation in Brisbane CBD. From what I gather, Brisbane is seeing more of weekend getaways and business trips as compared to earlier.

If you’re one such traveller who is planning a short trip, you should definitely consider booking accommodation in Brisbane CBD. The CBD lies in the heart of Brisbane and it presents the best that the city has to offer. Whether you’re looking for some fun or you want to get work done, staying in or close to the CBD is ideal.

Quality accommodation at Bridgewater Terraces

If a Brisbane holiday is on your cards for 2016 or 2017, then you should consider our apartments in Kangaroo Point. At Bridgewater Terraces, we offer self-contained apartments, which are located just 1km from the CBD. By not staying in the CBD itself, you’re getting the best of both worlds; cheap accommodation in Brisbane in a fantastic central location. In fact, you can expect our rates to be much cheaper than other accommodation in Brisbane CBD. Our 1 bedroom apartments start as low as $145 per night on a 7-night stay or $150 on a 4-night stay. You’ll certainly not find accommodation at cheaper rates in or around the CBD.

Our apartments are completely furnished and packed with amenities and facilities that you and your travel group will love. Such facilities include a swimming pool, sauna, spa, gymnasium and more!

Conclusion:

The latest International Visitors Survey has revealed that Brisbane is the 3^rd most visitaqw3ed city in Brisbane. Although more tourists come down to the city every passing year, the time spent is the city is going down. This means that most tourists are business travellers or weekend holidaymakers, who look for accommodation in Brisbane CBD.

If you’re planning to visit Brisbane, I recommend you consider Bridgewater Terraces at Kangaroo Point. Given that we’re located just outside the CBD; our rates are far cheaper than staying in the city itself. Moreover, our apartments are spacious and packed with facilities that will complement your stay.

Stopped there for 3 weeks. Good location, nice internal facilities. Rooms were not cleaned well enough. Dust here and there, plus found an old razor in the bathroom. however I would put 3.5 stars for overall experience which wasn't bad. My major concern is safety and security of the apartments. My car was broken into at night on secure underground parking. Car's door was broken and my personal belongings were stolen. Management told me they are not responsible for the damage and loss because of the signs they put on parking walls. This accident put my rating down to 1 star.If you have a car I would recommend to park it underground despite the secure gates installed.

Bridgewater terraces is the perfect place to stay for business or leisure. It is conveniently located within reach of Southbank, the CBD, local hospitals and convention centres ect. I stayed at the apartment for over 2 months and thoroughly enjoyed my time. I found the complex to be perfectly manicured and maintained, quiet and loved the cafe next doors. The river view is also very relaxing. The location is perfect for children and my kids loved walking through the gardens, splashing in the pool and walking to the nearby park and playground. Ray and Dennis in management were very helpful, attentive, compassionate and a pleasure to deal with.

Booked to stay at Bridgewater Terraces and looked forward to our visit. The views of the river are magnificent and this was the main, and as it turned out, the ONLY attraction.Initially the room looked OK until we discovered that it appeared NOT to have been cleaned! The old cooker was filthy and had to be scrubbed before we could use it. None of the cutlery or dishes were from same sets. The windows may have been wiped, but with a greasy rag. Having completed our own clean we sat down on a badly worn, sagging sofa which had stains and grease marks all over it. If that wasn't bad enough, the shower screen came off its rusty rails and there were many loose surrounding tiles. When the tumbler drier gave up, so did we and we checked out!Such a pity, Well manicured gardens and a fantastic location but the apartment interior was old and tattered and from our experience, very little effective management. Just to put the boot in, wifi is NOT free and is horrendously expensive. Stay here at your peril!!

Stayed here with a few guests and booked 3 rooms during February. Reception were only too kind and gave us really good tips on the Brisbane area. Rooms were spacious and quite modern. Everyone in our party enjoyed the stay and would definitely come back.

Stars rounded up because management were friendly. We got a neat well furnished apartment looking over the river. Appliances are modern but the washer and dryer are cheap. The dryer is faulty but useable if you jury-rig it. The bathroom floor drain doesnt have a trap so youre best off covering it to prevent air from venting out. Everything else was nice, the pool is a plus and the location is good.
