Top 5 Must Do Brisbane Activities - Bridgewater Terraces

There are literally hundreds of things to do in Brisbane. It offers a wide range of activities that every visitor, whatever age, background or lifestyle, will truly enjoy. But if you are pressed for time, here are five things you should at least do while in Brisbane:

1. Checkout the world famous landmarks of Brisbane
Spend a few hours to appreciate some of the iconic structures of Brisbane. Be amazed at the Batman Building (a building much like that in Gotham City), the international cricket ground The Gabba, and of course, the bridges of Brisbane.

2. Go shopping at the Queen Street Mall
This mall in Brisbane prides of being the one-stop shopping area in the city. It is easy to get around here and it sells everything you need and more – from the largest world-class brand shops and medium sized boutiques to smaller, local niche stalls.

3. Visit South Bank.
Brisbane is also very popular for their SouthBank, a parkland right in the middle of the city. South Bank is the ultimate destination for a great afternoon in Brisbane. You can delight at the man-made beach, enjoy alfresco dining in cafes, or take a walk around their walking paths. The Southbank is also the entertainment city of Brisbane with its cinemas, museums and live entertainment. SouthBank also offers a bustling nightlife that visitors and residents alike can partake in and enjoy.

4. Enjoy nature at Roma Street Parklands or Brisbane Botanical Gardens
Brisbane is a city endowed with nature’s beauty. Spend a quiet afternoon walk in Roma Street Parkland while enjoying nature’s breeze, or relax and watch the world go by at the Botanical Gardens. If you are in for some more nature tripping, you can visit Mt. Coot-tha reserve (a parkland and bush) which is roughly 7 kilometres from the city centre. Enjoy an afternoon picnic on the clear day and enjoy the stunning views all the way to Moreton Island.

5. Visit the Australia Zoo.
Steve Irwin has devoted his lifework to the Australian Zoo. When in Brisbane, take a 45 minute drive north to Beerwah and drop by this zoo and appreciate Australia’s exciting wildlife with kangaroos, crocodiles and koalas.

These are just some of the many things you can do in this beautiful side of Australia. Plan your Brisbane holiday today and stay at Bridgewater Terraces. Bridgewater Terraces offers fully-furnished serviced Brisbane accommodation that will make your stay in Brisbane truly a holiday to remember.

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.
