1. Its summer so expect hot sunny weather

Many of our guests here at Bridgewater Terraces travel to Brisbane for a holiday in December because of the perfect weather. December marks the beginning of summer in Brisbane and the weather is absolutely gorgeous! The weather is hot, humid and sunny making December the perfect time to take a Brisbane holiday.

The average temperatures in December range from 20°C to 29°C. This weather is ideal for taking part in outdoor activities or exploring the natural beauty of Brisbane and Southbank. Brisbane is full of parks and outdoor attractions and there is simply no better time to explore Brisbane than in the month of December.

2. Take advantage of public and school holidays

Another reason why we see a lot of guests visiting Brisbane in December of course is because of the holiday season. There are plenty of public and school holidays in December all over the world. As such, many national visitors as well as overseas visitors head to Brisbane and Southbank to enjoy their Christmas and New Year holidays.

This year’s school holidays in Brisbane are from December 10, 2016 to January 29, 2017. Public holidays are on Christmas Day and Boxing Day. Many locals as also tourists will be hitting Brisbane to enjoy a summer holiday. School and public holidays are more or less the same around the world, so you can take advantage of them and head over to Brisbane for your holiday.

3. There’s heaps of activities on in December

With the holiday season in full swing, Brisbane offers heaps of activities for tourists in December. Some popular activities include Christmas celebrations and carols, New Year’s Eve celebrations and school holiday activities.

Our guests partake in many outdoor activities during their summer holidays. Some popular activities include sand tobogganing and snorkelling at Moreton Island, wild dolphin feeding, kayaking on Brisbane River and exploring the beaches along North Stradbroke Island. On your Brisbane holiday this December, you should definitely try out one or all of these activities.

By booking your holiday accommodation in Southbank Brisbane or surrounding areas, these activities will all be in close proximity. So, by staying at Bridgewater Terraces, you’ll be in the centre of all the action.

4. Accommodation is plentiful

While you can certainly book accommodation in the CBD, a better option is to look for accommodation in Southbank Brisbane or surrounding areas like Kangaroo Point. The biggest reason for this is that accommodation in the CBD is far more expensive than accommodation elsewhere in the city.

At Bridgewater Terraces, we offer yet spacious 1, 2 and 3-bedroom holiday apartments. We are located in Kangaroo Point, so you’ll be very close to Southbank and the CBD, yet you will be able to take avail of incredibly affordable rates. You can book with us for as low as $150 per night on a 7 night stay! You cannot expect to find cheaper accommodation elsewhere in Brisbane in December.

Conclusion:

If you’re planning a Brisbane holiday, I suggest that you travel to Brisbane now! December marks the beginning of summer and the weather at the moment is gorgeous. Moreover, there are plenty of school and public holidays that you can take advantage of. There are also heaps of activities on in Brisbane in December and accommodation is plentiful.

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.
