While you’ll witness koalas, you’ll also get to see hundreds of other exotic species at this sanctuary. Lone Pine is located just outside Brisbane, and you’ll enjoy a great scenic drive on your way there.

It includes plenty of colourful gardens and lawns with walkways and biking trails. Roma Street Parklands is one of the best destinations in Brisbane to relax, have a picnic or just be one with nature.

You can also go rock climbing or abseil down the Kangaroo Point Cliffs located on the banks of the Brisbane River, and just 1 km from our apartments. You can also explore the riverside on foot or a bike.
Climb up the Storey Bridge. The Storey Bridge Adventure Climb is one of only three bridge climbs all over the world. You’ll have to make your way to the top of the iconic bridge, and you’ll be standing 80m above the rest of Brisbane. You’ll get to experience panoramic sights and witness Brisbane in all its glory. Guided tours are available for this climb both at dawn and dusk. You’ll find the Storey Bridge Adventure Climb located a short 200 mts from Bridgewater Terraces.

There are plenty of walking and hiking trails and picnic spots, so you’re sure to have a great time exploring the area. There’s also a botanical garden present at Mt. Coot-Tha, making it a must-visit destination for nature lovers.

It also plays host to several events and exhibitions throughout the year and operates its restaurants, cafes and retail outlets.

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.
