5 Reasons to Visit Brisbane in July

If you’re planning an upcoming Brisbane holiday then I highly recommend you to consider July as the month to visit. July brings sublime weather, plenty of attractions and you have loads of accommodation options to choose from as well.

Here are 5 of my top reasons why you should visit Brisbane in July. Hopefully, after you read through, you’ll agree with me and plan a holiday accordingly.

Table of Contents

1. It’s Winter

Although July is the second month of winter in Australia, the weather in Brisbane is still relatively warm with amazing blue skies. This makes July a popular choice for visitors looking to escape cooler climates in the southern states. Brisbane experiences average temperatures ranging from 10°C-22°C and the weather isn’t too humid or too hot. Moreover, the average sea temperature is a pleasant 19°C. It’s no wonder we receive so many guests here at Bridgewater Terraces in July!

2. It’s a great time to go Whale Watching

July is also the perfect time to go whale watching, which is a major attraction with our guests at Bridgewater Terraces. During winter, whales often head to the shores of North Stradbroke Island, Bribie Island and nearby bay-side areas in Brisbane. If you choose July for your Brisbane holiday, you’ll certainly get to see the magnificent sea mammals in action by partaking in one of the many whale watching cruises on offer.

3. You can celebrate Christmas in July, amongst other events

By visiting Brisbane in July, you can celebrate Christmas off-season and also partake in many other fantastic events! If you’re a fan of sports, you can watch Queensland Reds take on the Brumbies on Friday, July 7, or watch the Brisbane Lions compete against the Geelong Cats on Saturday, July 8.

You can also attend Le Festival – the Brisbane French Festival or attend the Brisbane BBQ Festival, both happening from Friday, July 7 to Sunday, July 9.

Music and theatre lovers can attend The Bodyguard – The Musical from Wednesday, July 19 to Sunday, July 23. And for socio-cultural events, you can enjoy the Brisbane Food & Wine Expo from Friday, July 21 to Sunday, July 23 or be a part of Brisbane’s Annual Wedding Expo on Sunday, July 23.

4. There’s also no shortage of things to do!

Apart from the events that I have listed above, you can also enjoy various other activities in Brisbane in July. Thanks to the perfect weather, you can go on day trips around the city or enjoy a round of golf. The weather is also perfect for exploring the beauty of our majestic city on foot.

5. It’s a great time squeeze in a holiday before school holidays end

School holidays in Brisbane end on July 16, so it’s a great time to squeeze in a family holiday. And, for family friendly accommodation in Brisbane, look no further than our holiday apartments at Bridgewater Terraces. We offer a range of spacious 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom and 3-bedroom self-contained apartments in Kangaroo Point – close to Brisbane’s major attractions. Also, our apartments are incredibly affordable, so you really needn’t look elsewhere for your holiday accommodation.

So, go ahead and plan a Brisbane family holiday this July – it’ll definitely be worth it! And if you haven’t already, give us a call at 07 3435 5216 to book your holiday accommodation today!

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.
