Top 10 Things to Do in Brisbane - Bridgewater Terraces

You’re coming to Brisbane? Awesome, but what are you going to do once you are here? It’s worth doing a little bit of homework to plan out an itinerary, or at least have an idea of what you want to do when you arrive to ensure your precious holiday time is not wasted trying to work out where to go and what to do. With a perfectly tailored plan, your holiday in Brisbane will be super fun and certainly unforgettable.

South Bank’s Streets Beach

Brisbane has so much to offer in terms of theatre, history, culture, scenery and attractions that sometimes you need a little help from a local to point you in the right direction. In this article you will get just that. Below I’ll list the top 10 things to do in Brisbane on your holiday.

If you always wanted to have a close encounter with bottlenose dolphins, you can do just that in Brisbane. Visit Moreton Island National Park or Tanglooma Island Resort and you’ll be able to hand-feed these wonderful creatures. I can assure you it will be an unforgettable experience!
Visit Wandering Cooks. It’s a community for food entrepreneurs, so be prepared to taste the best food you’ve possibly even experienced. There are many events as well, such as Friday Nite Snackdown and Thank Truck it’s Thursday. This is one of the best places for you to enjoy delicious food and refreshing drinks which is why I’ve made it my second best thing to do in Brisbane.
If you are in the mood for some beach fun, South Bank’s Streets Beach will blow your mind. It is actually a man-made swimming beach, where you can enjoy sand, sun and fun in the presence of professional and experienced lifeguards. All around, you will see exotic plants, tropical trees, rocky creeks and palms. If this sounds good to you, make sure you read my earlier post “Top 5 things to do at Brisbane Southbank”
Brisbane has the most amazing street food scene, and you will see that yourself. Eat Street Markets located at Portside Wharf is a place you simply must visit. Experience the mini restaurants where you can try many international dishes and enjoy live music.
Food and art are one of the most amazing combinations, and while looking for things to do in Brisbane, make sure to visit Southside Tea Room. During the day, it is a lovely café where you can enjoy a tasty meal and well-brewed coffee, and when the night falls, it is a bar, perfect for some night out fun. It is a place where many art exhibitions are held on a regular bases, and it is never boring.
Have you ever tried cold pressed coffee served in a beer bottle? Probably not. During your Brisbane holiday, you will fall in love with the Blackstar Coffee, but make sure to taste all three variants, including Total Black, Soy Deluxe and Full Creamy! Yuuummmo!
Want to check how talented you are? Make sure to visit Cork and Chroma, A Paint and Sip Studio, where you can create a masterpiece with the assistance of the instructor. It will be such a fun experience!
Brisbane is well-known as a distinguished cultural destination, so you can visit the Queensland Museum, State Library of Queensland, and Gallery of Modern Art. But art is present on the city streets thanks to the impressive pillar murals.
The boutique bar scene is pretty amazing as well. There are many great places you should check out, including Alfred and Constance, Mana Bar, Habitat, Lefty’s and many others.
The public service you will certainly love is Brisbane Greeters. Friendly locals who love their city spend their free time as volunteers to welcome visitors and share some incredible stories.

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.
