Watch the kids climb enormous fig trees and run around the playground or stroll through the rose garden and enjoy the view.

New Farm Park is a 37-acre (15-hectare) parkland and houses a cultural center, playgrounds, markets, beautifully landscaped gardens and plenty of green space where you can sit back and relax. In the early 19th century the site was a farm for a newly established convict settlement, but it later became a racecourse and eventually a public park. Wander the grounds and admire the colorful jacarandas or sit on a bench and enjoy the view of the city skyline. Pack a picnic and find yourself a comfortable spot down near the riverside or beneath a shady tree. There are barbecue areas all around the park, as well as plenty of space for anyone looking to jog or play. Kids will love the enormous playground. It takes the shape of a small fort spread around the bases of several sprawling fig trees. There are several sets of swings and other play equipment, as well as separate areas for younger kids. Spot the giant dragon sculptures dotted about the area. Sports fans are free to kick a ball on the soccer field or can book one of the tennis courts for a game. When the sun starts to go down, head to the Brisbane Powerhouse near the river for drinks or a meal. Pick up a program to see if there’s a show or musical performance on during your visit. Visit New Farm park on the second or fourth Saturday of the month for the excellent farmers’ markets near the Powerhouse building. The markets offer fresh tropical fruit, gourmet meats, flowers and crafts.New Farm Park is in the suburb of New Farm, about 2 miles (3.2 kilometers) from downtown. There’s free parking, but it’s also easily accessible by ferry and a bus stop is nearby. You can access the park at any time of the day or night. Admission is free, although you have to book ahead and pay for the tennis court.

Great place to stay if you need to be close to the airport. The hotel is located in a nice upscale neighborhood, and is within 5 min of an embankment and a street full of restaurants. Hotel is nice, quiet, and clean

7.8/10 Good! (767 reviews)

Beautiful apartments, great balconies, stayed in a level 9, 3 bed and each room had a balcony plus big living room had big balcony. 2 bedroom on level 7 was amazing for bbq and drinks on balcony if you had friends staying oj the trip or as a family or couple. group of friends as it had an enormous balcony across front and wrapping around side with decent city and river views, second one on level 3 had pretty big balcony and again had private Nice open plan designs, and building is quiet. Close to museum, library, science cenre, cultural centre, major bus line stop and train station less than five min walk away. Do not like the area late night, threatening begging, homeless people often sit along front enfrance on footpath, carpark is difficult in bigher cars/utes, Dont like how much staff harrass you at check out after calling reception. Don't like that their sister company morgan suites have a lunatic manager who got me banned from both while kicking us out 20 min post check in because our service dog barked to alert us to my daughters medical needs, and due to that they owe me over $500 but refused because our service dog was accredited while unknowingly to us- was pregnant so we had pups with us (cant leave service dog behind, but cant leave pups off mum). Whats worse is fleet lane cancelled a booking on midnight because of this experience and caused me to be almost without accommodation. Thankfully a much better hotel brand could accomodate me, but i paid max rate
