Brisbane only a short walk away
Review of Sapphire Resort, Brisbane by
tiger96_nz
Advantages: location to city, price, location to facilities
Disadvantages: not handy to CBD for disabled people

Moreton Island - Dolphin Feeding
Review of Moreton Island, Brisbane by
DeniseKelly40
Advantages: The opportunity to feed dolphins in the wild
Disadvantages: hard to get there
Moreton Island is situated 35km away from Brisbane. The island is 98% National Parks which is very obvious when you are exploring the island as there isn't a lot of shops or houses. In my opinion its like a mini paradise with its sparkling clear water and ...

Review of South Bank Parklands, Brisbane by
ROYALP

Review of Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary, Brisbane by
ciaowales
Advantages: Koala Bears!
Disadvantages: Difficult to get to.
If you want to cuddle a koala and support their conservation this is the place to go. High up in the hills above Brisbane it is difficult to get to unless you drive as buses are involved but well worth it. It is one of the few places you get to hold a koa ...

Review of Palace Backpackers, Brisbane by
zoe_page
Advantages: Central, bar, cafe and large kitchen
Disadvantages: thieving guests, and not the cheapest hostel in town
Dear Mrs Thatcher once said, "Being powerful is like being a lady. If you have to tell people you are, you aren't. " I frequently applied this principle to my stay in Australia - from 'gourmet' take aways to 'luxury' hotels. However, despite the name, and ...
