Saturday Night Paddle & BBQ - Bridgewater Terraces

Looking for a one-of-a-kind experience to share with your friends while in Brisbane? Why not try Brisbane’s Saturday Night Paddle & BBQ? With this experience, you will view this beautiful city entirely from a different perspective as you kayak up a river, enjoy the views, and end the cruise with traditional Australian-style BBQ and drinks by the banks. And did we mention all these happen on a Saturday night?

Paddle and BBQ on a Saturday night is one unique way of experiencing 3 things in Brisbane at the same time: enjoying night views of the city, making new friends (and keeping them tighter) and keeping fit. What can you expect from a Saturday night Paddle and BBQ package?

First, the kayaking tour begins with a guided night kayaking experience that lasts for an hour and a half. While kayaking, you will be illuminated with a built-in light that lights up only 600 meters of the river to allow you to appreciate the breath-taking city and river views while gliding through Brisbane’s iconic bridges. After the kayak, you get your much-awaited and well-deserved treat consisting of Australian main dishes served with soft drinks, beer and wine.

What makes the Paddle and BBQ experience worth noting is that any visitor – with or without kayaking experience – can try this adventure. The session involves full, clear instructions, safety briefing, as well as all equipment use. The sessions are guided with experienced and qualified instructors who are willing to assist you with any concerns. However, for obvious reasons, participants less than 12 years of age will not be admitted. It is also necessary to book ahead of time. This is one of Brisbane’s most sought after night activities, so prior booking is highly recommended. Private group session bookings of at least 8 people are welcome (done any night of the week except Saturday).

Participants who wish to participate in a Saturday Night Paddle and BBQ experience must expect their clothes to get wet (thus, bringing spare change of clothes is highly recommended). Kayaking will be done barefoot and complimentary sunscreen, shower and lockers are available.

Looking for the perfect Brisbane accommodation for that perfect holiday? Stay at Bridgewater Terraces at Kangaroo Point. How nice would it be to lie back and relax on a cosy, comfortable bed in one of Bridgewater’s fully-furnished serviced apartments after a long Paddle and BBQ night.

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.
