AMAAZING!!!
Can not fault this property and host. Easy communication and nice clear instructions for arrival & departure. Unit was amazing, lovely and spacious with everything we needed for our stay. Air-con and pool were well used with off street parking giving great peace of mind. Boardwalk right out the front gate which gives easy access to ferries into town and/or opportunity to wander down to local shops/cafe's. If we're ever back over in this neck of the woods we will definately be checking your abvilability.

Beautiful quiet apartment
We had a wonderful 10 day stay at this property. We normally stay right in the city with all the hustle bustle and noise that you would expect and this stay provided a welcome contrast. The building was very quiet, lift provided easy access, it had 2 carparks for the unit and the views were magnificent. Only thing I would like to see would be a second TV in the main bedroom. There was a welcome bottle of wine which provided a nice touch. I would stay here again for a quiet, get away from it all stay that still had close access to food and retail in James St.

We had a great stay. Communication was very clear and came exactly when you have questions. The location was great. And the apartment light and bright. Internet was a little slow at times (one of us was working from home), but we made it work. Would easily stay again on our next visit to Brisbane

Great space, amazing view, seems great overall but some aspects slightly aged.
The location and view is beautiful! Especially for a sunrise! It’s extremely spacious! Even had a highchair and porta cot available although we hired our own wooden cot and highchair as I didn’t realise there was a highchair. It was neat and clean. I was disappointed with the bath plug as it looked very tarnished/almost mouldy/rusted. But I don’t think it was. As we chose this place as it ensured a bath and good area for our toddler. We put his cot in the study room which worked quite well. There are parts of the property just edges and rims in particular bathrooms that seemed aged/worn… but everything was very nice. Except I was very disappointed in the bed. It was soft but well loved. I’m a tummy sleeper and each side especially the one nest the bathroom had a huge sag in it and I felt like my legs were up in the air. Couldn’t sleep properly the first night because of it. Managed to find a comfortable position on in the middle of the bed where it sagged less… only other thing was we actually didn’t have the code for the lockbox in our check in email. So this made it tricky to check in when we arrived after 9pm. However they were very response when messaging through home away with the code quickly which was great! Overall a great stay and great communication.

Everything we hoped for and more
This apartment on the river was perfect for our family. We loved the view and the well cared for spaces that didn’t make you feel like you couldn’t relax. Everything was thought through. Beds were comfy and the kitchen was a great size. The building has easy access to the river and every restaurant imaginable within walking distance. Our hosts Debbie and Abby were clear and available with any information required. I hope we can make this a yearly trip.

Fantastic but not Luxury
After a pretty horrible check in process (the apartment was not cleaned and we had to wait for the cleaner to arrive and then finish, 2 hour process.) The apartment it self is excellent and a large 2 bedroom. The view is amazing and Deb who is the owner was lovely to deal with. The apartment is nice but not luxury, the building itself is very dated and the bathrooms are tired and the main bedroom ensuite has mould. We stayed with kids and there was a port a cot plus high chair. Overall the place is just tired and needs a refresh to claim being a ‘luxury’ apartment and justify the price. Mick

Fantastic Spot for a Brisbane Holiday.
We selected this property because of its close proximity to the Powerhouse, which was to be the venue for our son's wedding. The advertisement promised luxury and that is what we found. The view directly onto the river was amazing and could be enjoyed from both bedrooms, lounge, dining and fully equipped kitchen and a large balcony. The river walkway was directly accessed from the property and parking was included with a double carpark. The main bedroom has a king bed, walk-in robe and ensuite. A fully equipped laundry made life easy for an extended stay. There is a River Cat wharf at the Powerhouse, an 8/10 minute walk from the apartment, giving easy access to the Brisbane and the CBD. The property is just off Merthyr Street, were you can find a supermarket, chemist, cafes and hairdressers, all within an easy walk. We hosted the groom and groomsmen for lunch, while they prepared for the wedding and the apartment lent itself to some great photos and the general comment was wow on entering the apartment. The apartment made for a memorable stay and we would be quite happy to return in the future.
