Thankfully, there are plenty of activities you, friends and family can enjoy in the city, with most being offered around Kangaroo Point.

1. Segway Tours

Segway Tours are a wonderful way for you to explore Brisbane’s beauty. Segways are easy to manoeuver and you can twist, glide and spin around at an easy pace. Riding a Segway presents a relaxing and enjoyable way for you to witness the spectacular sights that Brisbane offers.

Segway tours are frequently conducted in Kangaroo Point, and close to many hotels in Kangaroo Point and Bridgewater Terraces. Tours are held around South Bank, Story Bridge, Botanic Gardens and the Brisbane River –the best attractions of the city.

2. Kayaking

Brisbane boasts of having a magnificent river – the Brisbane River and kayaking is a great way you can experience its beauty. Kayaking adventure tours are frequently held in Kangaroo Point and you can go on a day or night tour. If you’re experienced with kayaks, you can also try paddling, rafting and playing kayak basketball, kayak soccer and surfing.

Several hotels in Kangaroo Point will arrange a kayaking tour for you if you make an enquiry. Whether you’re an experienced paddler or a first timer, kayaking is one Brisbane outdoor activity you mustn’t miss out on!

3. Abseiling

Abseiling down cliffs is another fun outdoor activity you can enjoy in Brisbane. While abseiling down cliffs is fun by itself, you also get to witness uninterrupted views of the Brisbane River. You’ll get to see kayakers, boats, city cats and the city skyline on your way down the cliff.

Abseiling tours are conducted at Kangaroo Point Cliffs, close to many hotels in Kangaroo Point, including Bridgewater Terraces. Don’t worry if you’ve never done this before – abseiling is pretty safe as you will be harnessed at all times.

4. Rock Climbing

Kangaroo Point is surrounded by many cliffs where you can go abseiling and rock climbing. Rock climbing is a great adventure and by climbing cliffs you can enjoy grand views of Brisbane and the river.

Guided tours are offered for rock climbing and they are open to anyone above 8 years of age. All tours are conducted by expert professionals, so you can bet on having a wonderful time!

5. Stand Up Paddle Boarding

If you haven’t tried out stand up paddle boarding, you have a great chance to experience it in Brisbane! Stand up paddle boarding is a lot of fun as you can paddle around on the magnificent Brisbane River. Unlike kayaking, stand up paddle boarding is much more relaxed and leisurely – allowing you to set your own pace.

You’ll easily find tours offering stand up paddle boarding around Kangaroo Point, close to Kangaroo Point hotels and of course our apartments. This activity is suitable for people of all ages, so take your family and kids along with you. All of you will really enjoy this relaxing activity.

6. Cycling

The city of Brisbane is full of pathways, gardens and walkways along the Brisbane River and South Bank. While you can certainly explore these areas on foot, cycling is another option you have. You can ride around the inner hotspots of the city, past Kangaroo Cliffs and Botanical Gardens up to the parklands.

Whether you want to ride around all day or for a couple of hours, cycling in Brisbane is very enjoyable. You’ll have no trouble finding cycles on hire near hotels in Kangaroo Point.

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.
