Visit the Australian Animals

The Australian Zoo just south of Brisbane is the lifework of the late crocodile hunter, Steve Irwin. His passion for animals led to the development of this zoo. Here, you will find numerous Australian reptiles particularly the crocodiles. Koalas and kangaroos can be seen in this zoo as well. The Australian Zoo is highly rewarded for its animal-friendly environment.

Spend A Day With the Dolphins

Dolphins are very cute and it is a sight to see them playing in the ocean. In Brisbane, you have a chance to get closer to the dolphins and even feeding them. At Moreton Island, Tangalooma Resort hosts a daily routine of feeding the wild dolphins. The dolphins swim to the beach around 8-9pm and guests can feed them.

Relax in Mount Coot-tha

Mount Coot-tha is a popular tourist attraction in Brisbane. You can have a picnic in the parkland and have relaxing nature strolls along the walking trails. This mountain will also be a great adventure climb for everyone. Reaching the top, there is a lookout that provides the most awesome view of Brisbane City.

Visit Southbank

Without going far from the city, you can have fun at Southbank. This is a parkland in the middle of the city where walking paths, a manmade beach and cafes are available for unwinding. The Streets Beach is a great place to relax without leaving the city. Aside from these, Southbank offers culture and entertainment especially on weekends.

Go Shopping

The Queen Street Mall is a one-stop retail shopping place in Brisbane. This is where you can find the best brands as well as the one-of-a-kind local boutiques. Shopping in Brisbane city is a must-thing to do.

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.
