Gympie Holidays from AU$587

On arrival we checked in and rushed up to the rooftop bar for an amazing view of Brisbane at night. We had been informed of this spot through emails after we had booked our stay. We enjoyed a lovely dinner up there too. The rooms were big with two balconies. The bathroom was large and the shower hot and strong. We also enjoyed the huge buffet breakfast with many interesting, fresh options. Parking was underground.

The apartment was basic but ok. It took me 15 minutes to locate the tv remote that was stuck down behind the lounge cushions. The oven was dirty and there were no oven trays or baking dish to use. General cleanliness of the apartment was average too. I noted there was no building or area info, and no emergency situation info in the apartment.

I chose this property as it indicated the management was aware of accessibility issues. As an older woman with some mobility issues, accessibility is important. On the plus side, the property has a ramp as well as stairs at the front entrance. It provides a disabled spot in the car park. Access to the unit was level, it had a good bathroom, with large fluffy towels and the bed was comfortable. And there is an excellent coffee shop at ground level. However, there were a few issues that need to be pointed out. The disabled parking spot is not wide enough. The lounge furniture is quite unsuitable, with a very low lounge and quite flimsy dining chairs. It was a good thing the verandah chairs were more comfortable. And I couldn’t reach most of the plates, cups and glasses, which had been placed in high cupboards. It would have been much more helpful if they had been placed in the pantry.

Loved our stay, love James Street, location superb, quiet big rooms, well decorated and comfortable bed.

Good location for Southbank. Rooftop good for Riverfire.
