A lovely historic house, unfortunately in need of repair. Beautiful gardens. Janet was a great guide. Very nice food in the cafe

Great to be able to visit on a week day. Have wanted to for decades as a very early ancestor worked on the property. Just wonderful that the building has been saved. A great experience.

The Glengallen Homestaed, what a beautiful piece of architecture and history. You can see the beauty of what the Home used to be…. It would be great to see the original home restored to its former glory. But still a great place to visit. There is a cafe onsite to get a quick bite and drink. So glad We made the decision to visit 😀

We recently visited Glengallan Homestead and were truly impressed by the historical beauty of the property. The homestead itself is absolutely stunning—a fascinating glimpse into the past, lovingly preserved with so much character. Walking through the rooms and learning about the history of the building and the families who lived there was the highlight of our visit. It’s clear a lot of care has gone into maintaining and sharing this unique piece of local heritage. Unfortunately, the café was a letdown. The staff seemed quite disorganised and unsure about basic service and menu details, which made the experience less enjoyable. It felt like there was a lack of training or clear systems in place. That said, if you’re interested in Queensland’s history and architecture, Glengallan Homestead is still absolutely worth a visit. Just don’t set your expectations too high for the café, or consider bringing your own refreshments instead. Overall, a wonderful spot to step back in time and appreciate a remarkable part of our region’s story.

This is my first time posting anything but I visited the Glengallan Homestead and Cafe on Sunday and it was AMAZING! The food was delicious and came out fast but honestly we wouldn't of been fussed to wait because we could of sat there for hours just enjoying the view. The Homestead itself is really interesting. If you are interested is heritage buildings don't miss this one! It's setup like a museum, its very easy to find your way arround and you can do it at your own pace. The staff were also super friendly and took their time to answers all our questions, make us feel welcome despite being busy and even tell us a few stories about the place. Highly recommend visiting.

Really great historic place both the homestead and the items on the surrounding properties. We got a nice introduction by the manager and then spent a couple of hours exploring and reading. The homestead is an iconic sandstone mansion, originally built in 1867, was restored from ruin in 2001. It offers a self guided tour and the cafe is welcoming. What I really liked was the acknowledgment of Country and the Traditional Custodians and the story of the Brown Snake Dreaming.

We called in on a Sunday afternoon. Had coffee and scones before looking through the homestead. Great Merlo coffee and the scones were very good. We then wondered over to the homestead. The house is huge, which I found fascinating. There's been a huge amount of restoration completed. However, there are sections that remain to be done. But it's gives you an opportunity to see how the house was built. At 15 dollars each entry, I think it's pretty good value.

Great displays of different machinery and trucks. It's not very big, about a 15 minute walk around. No aircon in the room, just big industrial fans that blow hot air. It's not worth the $8 for admission if you don't live in the area, a Gold coin donation would be more suited.

Lunch was lovely at the Cafe. Nice to walk around the park.

Great place. Lots to see. Good cafe. Lots of seating inside and out. Very polite staff. Heaps of parking. Worth a visit 🙂

Took grandaughter to library for storytime. Bathrooms are very clean and accessible. I liked the cafe there better when it was run by the council.

Lovely service from the ladies...nice place to grab something to eat look at the library and take a look down memory lane with the old trucks and machinery...

Loved it,,had such a wonderful time.. Amazing place,,will b back ,,great Cafe,& the lake was beautiful..

Cool, friendly, and informative :) Lots of parking even a special area for caravans and motorhomes. They have an information centre as you first walk in with pamphlets of every major and minor area of Queensland. There are a few display cases of locally made or produced crafts and food products. I purchased some local honey which Im excited to try out! There’s a library connected to the main lobby plus a cafe and the museum to the other side. Definitely recommend stopping in if you’re traveling through the area or if you just want to know more about the Lockyer Valley :)

Great outdoor area, well setup to enjoy the view & while away time enjoying good company, food, drink & fresh air. The picnic hampers were plentiful & delicious. Dont think we could finish everything. Loved that I could bring along my pup too. Worth a visit whether you enjoy the outdoors picnic option or the restaurant.

What an absolute gem! The Lavender farm at Mount Alfred is simply perfect. The property is pristine, with jaw-dropping mountain scenery at every turn. The four of us had lunch at the restaurant, and it was genuinely one of the best meals we've ever had – truly 5-star quality and beyond. The day flowed perfectly with a fantastic commentary wine tasting and a serene walk through the beautiful lavender. An outstanding experience we can't wait to repeat. We will be back!

Not only is the Chapel a singuarly unique place to get married, but the scale and vast expanse of the lavender farm and vineyards provides an incredible backdrop to photos and for guests to explore. We had no fears if the rains descended as there is ample under covered space, and we were blessed with the most incredible sunset which just lit up everything and everyone so beautiful. All food and drinks provided were simply superb. I distinctly remember as the Bride, having a moment of blissful calm as I enjoyed my Lavender Duck main, watching everyone else as they enjoyed theirs. I am recommending to all my friends as I would love to attend a wedding here as a GUEST! The new on-site accommodation as well is very well appointed, with a lot of space and the honeymoon suite comes with a lovely spa bath. We also worked well with Fassifern Coaches to arrange transport for our guests staying in the surrounding areas and they knew exactly what we would be after, so never fear for the more remote location.

I’ve been visiting Kooroomba for many occasions over the years. The drive to the venue reminds you why it’s part of the Scenic Rim, with spectacular views from the restaurant. From events and birthday lunches to today’s visit, which was our wedding anniversary, every experience has been memorable. We shared a glass of bubbles overlooking the Great Dividing Range, easily the best seat in the restaurant, followed by the Beef Cheeks and Curried Duck. Dessert was the Crème Brûlée (which my wife still insists is the best she’s ever had) and the famous Lavender Ice Cream, their signature dish. I’ve taken visitors from all over the world for that ice cream, and it’s never disappointed. Pricing is very reasonable considering the fine dining experience and the quality of the meals. I’m a fan and already looking forward to my next visit.

Amazing restaurant under a gorgeous setting. The chef produces perfection and delivered and nurtured by our waiter (Guy) in our food and beverage choices. A truly professional restaurant and venue - I understand why it takes 3-4 weeks to make a reservation for lunch. My only wish would be to book in for dinner in the future.

Environment - It is scenic and the lavender is nice, but I feel many places could offer the same. If u find the angle, can get some nice photos, but if you are driving 2 hours and expecting a“spectacular and breathtaking view” then you might be disappointed. The restaurant - food - no complain on food, but also nothing so special - pretty standard kind of quality you would expect. The restaurant - service - quite so so… the young lady performed a very standard Ai-like customer service. No willingness to have any thoughts when requested for simple help.

The Mog Champ sends his regards. We were in a nearby camp-site and stopped here for lunch. It's a beautiful looking vineyard especially during sunny weather. We all ordered the butterflied chicken which was delicious. The chicken was slightly expensive especially for the portions provided, so would definitely recommend anyone to purchase it with shared sides as well. Had a nice walk after eating as well, thanks for the lunch Kooroomba! Mogliest Regards, Your Mog Champ

Totally in love with Brisbane River. The views is incredible, makes Brisbane CBD a beautiful world class city. Beautiful views along the riverside with the city skyline and beautiful residential. Regular ferries with friendly crew on board. Worth getting on and off the ferries to explore riverbank. The river winds through the city, you can travel via city cat along the river. There are plenty of places to explore with restaurants and cafes. Also a beautiful place to have a night walk, the river looks amazing during the night. Brisbane city is awesome place yo live and visit. Highly recommend a river cruise. From Penang Malaysia

The river has so many fantastic areas we have frequented regularly, from the sandy beach at Comslie, Bulimba, New Farm Park, the city, Riverside walkway, Gardens Point and Southbank. The bike and walking tracks are great. We now live on the river at Karana Downs, where the experience is very different and just as delightful. Trees, abundant bird life, great natural parks, from Barellan Point, Colleges Crossing, to the weir and Kholo Gardens. I've posted a few photos, starting from our place.

We took a CityCat ride from the North Quay terminal up to Bulimba and then back to South Bank. It was a beautiful boat ride along the Brisbane River, and it was definitely worth checking out. You will need a Translink GoCard to take the CityCat ride.

We visited in late December and enjoyed exploring the river by cruising on the Rivercat ferry. There are so many lovely areas to visit along the river, from beautiful open parkland areas to bustling restaurant and arts precincts. It is worth getting on and off the ferries to explore the riverbank. The most enjoyable part of exploring the river is the two hour trip downstream from Southbank to Hamilton and return. A great way to get a good perspective of Brisbane.

This river is nice. But I had a very strange dream about it. I had walked towards it and asked it a few questions. But my murky reflection in the brown water swore at me very harshly. Then I cried. When I woke up, I was so confused.

We visited Brisbane in June this year. We caught a boat to cruise the Brisbane River. The delightful views of Brisbane City Skylines made us truly happy indeed.

Brisbane River, river in southeastern Queensland, Australia. It rises in the Brisbane-Cooyar ranges and flows some 215 miles southeasterly and northeasterly through a farming and dairying region, then through the city of Brisbane to Moreton Bay. Its navigable for steamers below Brisbane and for small craft below Ipswich. With Ferry service. Historically, several catastrophic floods of the Brisbane River have occurred, notably in 1893 and 1974. Heavy rains in early 2011 caused the river to flood and to inundate several riverside communities, including large portions of Brisbane.

We went for the junior farmer day. The kids could not stop talking about the camels and wanting to come back again. They had a fantastic day. The pricing was really reasonable. They got to feed the camels and ride camels, Queenie and Little nugget. We had a tour of the farm and saw all the baby camels. There were also other activities for the kids like face painting, plaster painting and jewelry making and they were all extremely reasonably priced which made it a really perfect day.

I really enjoy my visit at Summer Land Camel Farm 🐪✨ Camel riding was very fun and special, also I can feed the camels and take many nice photos. The farm has many activities to do and the car park is big, very easy and comfortable. I also try the camel milk café 🥛☕, the drinks are fresh, smooth and delicious. The café has cake, snack and also products from camel milk like skincare and vodka, very interesting. It is a good place for family, couple or friends to spend time together. Relaxing, fun and different experience. I recommend this place!

My wife, two of our daughters, granddaughter and l went out so that myself, one of our daughters and granddaughter could do the 40 minute camel ride. My wife said it was the most she had ever paid for a coffee. You have the option of cow or camel milk in your coffee. She also had a scone baked with camel milk, however, was not a fan. I thought $70 for a 40 minute camel ride was a little excessive. But it has now been ticked off the bucket list. The camel ride was very peaceful and the staff gave you some history of the camels in Australia, along with some facts about the humble camel. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable.

There were many camel or camel themed products like cupcakes, ice cream, lattes, nachos, sausages, and cheese. It was a great experience to see, touch, ride, and feed camels up close. It was enjoyable and a place where both kids and adults can have fun.

Enjoyed the camel milk and brunch, tasty and reasonably priced. Free entrance was a bonus! My little one had so much fun feeding the camels with the grass pack we purchased. We’ll definitely be back for a camel ride when he turns 4!

Such a beautiful farm. The camels look so well and looked after. Love all the camel products. Staff is so friendly and helpful, so happy to answer all my questions about camels. Very great place to visit and bring the kids/ grandkids. They will love feeding the camels or going for a ride. Well done

We did the farm tour and tasting. It was an amazing educational tour. We loved our tour guide Emily. Camel milk products were amazing👍

Amazing experience to ride the rail trail can't wait to go back and do it again

From Toogoolawah south to somerset dam turn off, I road about 30 k round trip on ebike. Lots of ballast on trail from rail road. Always seems to go up hill. Going south, on old bridge where you go underneath across creek took me by surprise. Steep with almost a 180 degrees turn. Road this May. Very comfortable temperature then. saw about 10 people on bikes. One lady with kids and pram.

Great rail trail, with lots of options for doing short or long rides. Plenty of places for coffee or lunch in the towns along the way.

Great riding experience, don't need to be super fit, don't need a fancy bike

Fantastic little trail. Definitely rideable in CX or MTB.

Well managed..safe fast and customer friendly public transportation !!

Very organised event.

The Rail Workshop's history is presented in a way that is very well done. As you walk around, you can see, explore, and interact with the exhibits from start to finish. It seems that there are always special events happening at this museum, which means there's always something new to discover.

Recently visited the Queensland Rail Workshop Museum, and it was an incredible experience! The museum offers a fascinating glimpse into Queensland’s railway history, with a great collection of vintage trains and railway artifacts. It’s a must-visit for anyone interested in trains or looking for a fun and educational outing!

Great place for a visit for all ages. Lots of trains, history, a bit of science and a playground. If attending during an outdoor event (Thomas the train, food vans etc.) bring a hat as it can get hot. You can also pack your own picnic!

We also went on the sunshine express, loved it. I would take a picnic lunch for Grantchester station, they had a hotdog food truck. Donut can and coffee van. Good enough but would prefer different food.

Amazing things to see and learn about. Allow plenty of time to look around. Such a huge collection. Huge train set . Keep ds would love it and large key ds play areas.

Very good for the kid with young age. Only short drive from Brisbane. I went after the event and not many people here.

The railway museum is beautiful! We went with the whole family and all thoroughly enjoyed! The model train was extensive and so well put together. The trains and all in the information on them were great to see. The kids area is the best part as a family, the kids enjoyed for a long time! It’s all pram accessible, and was nice and cool inside.

Have been here many times. Great place to catch up with friends for some lunch . We had a chicken Caesar salad and a ham and salad sandwich. Both were delicious 🤤. Only one thing that was a bit disappointing was the bread on the sandwich was definitely not fresh. The filling was great. Look, I think I will over look it this time because it’s normally pretty good. The staff were really helpful. Service is always good.

The staff is super friendly and helpful, the location and view also great. The iced chocolate and coffee were also good. However, I wouldn’t recommend the carrot cake muffin, the dough is fine and it’s nice that they utilise various spices instead of just cinnamon, but the icing just doesn’t match and tastes a bit strange.

Demi, Miranda, the young bloke, (sorry didn't ask his name; next time) and team, were welcoming, down to earth, provided country hospitality and delicious well priced hot choccy with marshmallows and melting moment cookie, yum! They have an extensive food and drink menu. I give them 6 stars and a beautiful park to look out on from the side deck seating area or any part of the cafe deck.

Queens Park Cafe & Kiosk is a lovely spot for a casual outing. The location is perfect—right in the park, with plenty of greenery and space to relax. The café offers a good selection of food and drinks, from light snacks to hearty meals, all reasonably priced. Service is friendly and welcoming, and the outdoor seating makes it great for families and kids. It’s also very convenient to grab something quick from the kiosk while enjoying a walk in the park. Overall, a great place to enjoy good food in a beautiful, relaxing setting.

Nice looking place but dont expect cheap food, everything is like bloody expensive, $30 for a bloody steak burger. not somewhere I'll come again, too rich fir a pensioner. And this is $7.50 worth of chips, lucky if its 1 potato very disappointed.

Went here on the weekend and spent $100 for a meal for 4 people. The service was good and food came out extremely fast. I tried to get some toast with two sides but they don’t do side with toast. Weird. So I added it to another meal on the table and got it on a different plate. First time ever I couldn’t order toast with sides at a cafe. $4 for a side of beans that was less than a tablespoon of beans (see pic on my saucer with teaspoon). What is that about?

We came a long way to visit the area and have a take away lunch from this cafe. For $30 we were absolutely appalled with the size of the “Fisherman’s Basket”. One small piece of fish, two calamari, less than a palm size of chips and a small bland salad which included two old pieces of tomato. Highly disappointed and shocked at the cost for a measly sized meal. Do not recommend.

Perched along the scenic Mount Mee Tourist Drive, **Pit Stop Café** is a quirky roadside retreat packed with vintage charm. Classic car memorabilia, retro petrol signs, and rustic outdoor seating create a nostalgic, laid-back vibe. The burgers, homemade pies, and thick milkshakes are local favorites, best enjoyed with panoramic views of the Glass House Mountains. A hotspot for motorcyclists, road-trippers, and adventurers, it’s the perfect place to refuel—both body and spirit. If you love good food with a side of nostalgia, this hidden gem is a must-visit!

What an awesome cafe! Stopped in for the first time today whilst on a ride through Mt Mee, and it didn't disappoint! Awesome atmosphere, amazing views, friendly staff, quick service and great food! Have ridden past a few times before and thought to myself, I'll have to check that out some time. Glad I finally did! Absolutely loved it, will be back for sure 👌

We stopped in on Sunday at 2.30. Unfortunately the kitchen had closed early so we could only get a cooldrink. Best to phone ahead and check if it's after lunchtime. 😒

An amazing place with lots of racing nostalgia and amazing views on top of the hill. 10/10 With both indoor and outdoor seating this place has you covered. Coffee milkshake with 4 scoops of ice cream (10/10) Smash Avo with extra bacon and a hash brown was to perfection (10/10). A must stop Pit.

An excellent place to grab a decent-sized burger for lunch, with an amazing view to boot. Burgers are both large and delicious, fries are crispy and smothered in the magical goodness of chicken salt. All reasonably priced, too. I would have included some photos of the burgers we ordered, but we forgot and demolished them too quickly! Lots of cool auto/motorcycle paraphernalia on display too, but the VIEW!!!

This is the place I take every overseas visitor for coffee and the view! I brought my mum (from England) up here yesterday and it was the first time I've really felt I needed to leave a review! We ordered toasties for a "light bite" and they were HUGE!!!! Highly recommend the place for the view, the coffee, the food, and the service ❤️ (My photo from yesterday doesn't do the view justice - on a clear day you can clearly see the tall buildings of Brisbane.)

Unbelievable. Drove over an hour to take my father out for Father’s Day lunch (as he’s a huge motorbike enthusiast)… what a mistake that was. We initially sat down toward the end of the verandah, all to be greeted with a filthy table and a foul smell of septic…… Then, after finally finding another table, we decided on what to order (shockingly boring menu- reminiscent of a backyard restaurant- literally burgers and a dodgy salad on the menu, and talk about overpriced). All to be told the kitchen was ‘closed’ and they had run out of food….. So, it was 1pm and they could not ‘cook’ us any food. Not to mention the server being so rude ‘yeah kitchens closed, we aren’t taking any orders- we’ve had a big morning’ if I wasn’t so devastated, I could’ve laughed it was so comical. What ‘restaurant’ doesn’t account for such a ‘busy’ day and runs out of food. We ended up going to the restaurant down the road, clear mountain winery! They were outstanding, amazing service, amazing food and were organised enough to have not run out of food! Oh and the servers weren’t little teenagers that acted like free labour. Never again will we waste our time with ‘pit stop’ cafe. My father rides with a huge group of mates each weekend and I mean about 20 mates, initially he thought it would be a great meeting spot. However, now he’s told them all ‘we certainly won’t be going there, they were rude to my daughter and they don’t know how to order food’ The only thing they had going for them was the view…….

Wonderful place for a visit or stay. The drive up the mountain over narrow and windy roads is testing but as long as you go steady and look out for traffic coming the other way it is safe enough. Bird life at resort and in rainforests is amazing. Cabins are neat and tidy. No TV or cooking facilities in the room we had but we didnt mind. Many walks available from short to long. Much cooler on the mountain so remember to bring warm clothes. Staff very polite and made us feel very welcome. Managers welcome and afternoon tea each afternoon is a great bonus. Very happy with our visit.

Mixed feelings about this place. A great location and bird feeding was a highlight but customer service could be improved. I had $200 worth of clothing taken from the poolside that was left unattended for less than an hour, the staff didn’t help me any further than looking in lost property, when it was obvious that my clothing was stolen, they didn’t offer to check cameras or assist any further than keeping an eye on lost property. Also when asking the activities guide questions about the animal encounters his response was blunt and rude, I have worked in hospitality resorts for years and never customer service this bad in a resort. The place has a lot of potential if they put their customers first.

A seriously spectacular place! I would highly recommend this as a place to visit in QLD. The road in and out is 40 minutes of stress, so I would recommend staying overnight, at least. I had a stunning room with a balcony with a breathtaking view over the valley and the sunset. The walks are really lovely, and I can recommend Morans Falls (better than the pictures suggest) and Elabana Falls, which everyone was raving about. Unfortunately I was only there for a day and it’s a 4-5 hour circuit, which I ran out of time to do. A big storm rolled in through the afternoon and evening and that was also a fantastic experience. I did the free early morning bird walk with the guide and enjoyed it so much. I learned so much about the birds of the rainforest, from the floor to the canopy. I even got to hand feed some. I think I saw over 30 different birds on that guided walk. It was so special. There were lots of twitches in the area, plus some special photographers there capturing the wonder. They were very generous with their knowledge too. The canopy walk is amazing but, unfortunately I was not brave enough to climb the stairs up the tree to the highest level. The food and service in the cafe, restaurant and bar were fantastic as well. I would avoid room service food, except maybe pizza, as it was not well presented. Delicious but a bit cold and in a takeaway container, not served on a plate. I would certainly go back here and wish I’d booked for a bit longer to get more walks and experiences in. Highly recommended and I hope to get back here someday.

We booked the clamping tents. . Lovely drive up to Lamington. Besides a O'Reillys branded car was sitting up our cars bumpa, as soon as there was a pull off we did, yet no need for the aggressive driver prior. . Check into the clamping tents was easy. . Camp kitchen Lovely large area, well stocked with cooking equipment and washing up spong detergent etc. The tablesvand chairs need a goodvscrub, lots of grim build up. The shade cloth near ceiling was filthy, also needs a good clean (nothing a good High Pressure hose could not fix) Great out door bench seats to watch sunset. Noise travels so it was hard yo get to sleep whilst people enjoying themselves after 10pm. Toilets/ Showers. Shower heads great water pressure. Great hot water Flushing toilets. Good size. The room need a good clean over the three days we watched them being cleaned i kid you not the cleaners spent less than 3 minutes in each cubicle. The mould and grim build up is not hygienic. Glad I bought rubber shoes to shower with. The doors slam shut so every time during the night they are used all campers hear them open and close. . Tents Nice size. Great location tent 2 in corner looking into rainforest. Our tent was very dirty, needed a good sweep under the bed and floors had a fine layer of rocks, most likely from the path. The doubled bed in the bunks mattress had a sticky substance on it. The tents are great however if you are a light sleeper maybe not for you, you can hear people talking three and four tent away at night.. Lamington NP Super 100% fantastic. We are birders so managed to tick a few birds of my lists. . All in all I would be back yet ill stay in the hotel or villas. .

Drive up is long and very narrow. Give away signs were you can’t actually see what’s coming. Are nice and clean. Must be fit and healthy to do bush walks. Food is expensive and night time only have 2 options. Bar and $70 buffet. If you have children could be hard to feed them. Rooms only have a kettle so no option to have toast for dinner. It is a beautiful location and birds everywhere. Definitely glad we visited but won’t be going back.

If u are interested in doing a relaxing birding trip, this is the place ! There’s an early morning free bird walk everyday. I also joined another bird walk by excellent bird guide, Kyle. Kyle had excellent birding knowledge, friendly and ensure we have at least some bird photos ! He is the best birding guide in this retreat ! For food wise, not many choices and not cheap! Best to stock up with groceries before you head here ! Overall enjoyed my stay !

Came out with some friends for morning tea, I didn't eat anything so can't comment on the food now, but Coffee was good, view was truly amazing, and the cheeky little Crimson Rosellas wanting a bite of anyones food was abit cute. My issue was for people with mobility issues. There was plenty of free parking, but for the Seniors and people who struggle with mobility there were no clear signs to and area where we could drop off or pick up, before going back down to the car park, as its abit of a hill to walk up to the Cafe and not clearly signed either, so we had people going everywhere and then they couldn't find their way to the Cafe, it was like rounding up cats. O'Reilly's is such a beautiful place, but put your thinking caps on for the seniors and people who struggle with mobility and some clear signage

Easy to reach using private or public transport from the QBD. The venue hosts different species not just koalas but also Kangaroos, crocodiles, reptiles, birds. For the welfare of animals koalas cannot be hugged but guests can pay more to see them closer and cuddle them with the supervision of staff. Everybody working seemed professional and committed to preserve the welfare of the animals. A bit pricy, but considering what you get it is still worth a visit.

A must-visit in Brisbane! Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary is an amazing experience where you can get up close with koalas, kangaroos, and so many native Australian animals. The park is well-maintained, staff are friendly and knowledgeable, and the animals are clearly well cared for. Loved the chance to see a koala up close and feed the kangaroos such a memorable experience for locals and visitors alike!

Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary is a must-visit considering it's status as the world's first, oldest, and largest koala sanctuary in the world. It was truly a special experience seeing and interacting with the koalas and kangaroos up close especially in the huge free-roam area where the kangaroos were. The park is very well-maintained, with a number of other sections with a variety of other insects and animals. Definitely worth a visit if ever in Brisbane!

Is a fantastic place to visit, you can be with the Kanguru and give them a special food. if you pay a little more you can touch the koala for some minutes and take pretty nice pictures. The sanctuary space is beautiful with a very good structure, with birds, crocodile and more.

Amazing place to visit if you want to get up close and personal with Australia's (more friendly) wildlife. Got to feed Wallabies and kangaroos and saw loads more as well. Visited via the river cruise from the city and that was a great way to do it. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in Brisbane.

Fantastic for the whole family. The owl encounter far exceeded my expectations. Leanne and the team have so much knowledge and really know how to respect the animals and also have them guided over in a way that they seemed to be genuinely having fun. Beautiful lay out, and the Koalas were so very special.

Excellent experience kangaroos can be fed. The Tasmanian Devil looks soft but look at those jaws and teeth. Koala are always good to watch. So is the Platypus we saw a central python as well as all the other birds and animals. Well worth the entry fee. You may want to get there early before the crowds come in we went on a week day and by lunch time there were people everywhere

The best place I’ve ever been to. The kind of place that makes your heart happy just by looking at nature. We went there when it was raining, and it was so beautiful that we couldn’t stop admiring the greenery. I absolutely loved this place and would love to visit again.

A very good place to view the entire Brisbane city. Super view from the watch tower. It is recommended to bring food on your own or there is a restaurant which has been and food items but costly. The parking looks free. But I need to check again. Rest everything is good. Nice place to relax. I went at night and the view was amazing. Feels like sitting in an aircraft and flying too close on top of a metropolitan city. I couldn't identify any locations on my first visit. But I liked it a lot. Using good binoculars are highly recommended on locations like this. Here I'm uploading some views from here during the night.

Amazing view of Brisbane, especially on a clear night when the city lights look incredible. It can get quite busy, but it’s totally worth it for the view. Great spot to just relax and take it all in.

The Mount Coo-tha summit lookout has sweeping views over Brisbane city. There's ample parking. The lookout is wheelchair ♿️ friendly. Next to the lookout is The Summit cafe and restaurant which is quite nice for a coffee ☕️ and sweet treat, breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Beautiful view of the Brisbane City! One of wonderful lookouts in Brisbane. Only downside to this place is that there are not many seats at the foyer to sit and enjoy the view.

A Breathtaking Oasis: Mount Cootha Review Tucked away in the heart of Brisbane, Mount Cootha is a hidden gem that promises an unforgettable experience for visitors of all ages. Our recent family outing to this stunning destination was nothing short of spectacular. As we arrived at dawn, the sky transformed into a kaleidoscope of warm hues, casting a magical glow over the landscape. The tranquil atmosphere was palpable, with the sounds of nature and gentle breezes creating a soothing melody. The panoramic views from the summit were simply breathtaking – a perfect blend of natural beauty and urban landscape. To refuel and recharge, we headed to the conveniently located restaurant, which offered an impressive array of delicious options to cater to diverse tastes and dietary requirements. From hearty breakfast dishes to lighter snacks, there was something for everyone. What struck us most about Mount Cootha was its ability to seamlessly blend natural serenity with modern amenities, making it an ideal destination for families, couples, and solo travelers alike. Whether you're seeking a peaceful retreat, an action-packed adventure, or simply a unique perspective on the city, Mount Cootha is sure to exceed your expectations. *Highly Recommended Highlights:* - Breathtaking panoramic views, especially during sunrise - Tranquil atmosphere and natural beauty - Conveniently located restaurant with diverse options - Family-friendly and accessible - Perfect for a serene and enjoyable outing If you're looking for a unique and unforgettable experience in Brisbane, Mount Cootha should be at the top of your list!

One of the famous spots to visit in Brisbane. This place is accessible with public transport. You can catch a bus here from the city. This is the place where you can see the views of Brisbane City from top. Nonetheless, there is not much to see besides the city views. The views might not be the best, but it is also because we came in the afternoon. Based on other reviews, it’s best to come here during sunrise or sunset to see a more breathtaking view of the city from top.

The Gallery of Modern Art is truly inspiring! The exhibitions are diverse and well-curated, offering both international and local perspectives. The space is bright, open, and beautifully designed, making it enjoyable to explore at your own pace. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere is welcoming for all ages. A must-visit in Brisbane!

Good place to visit on weekend going out. It was free to see art exhibitions. This is next normal art museum. And also near Queensland library . It is very nice area and enjoyable. I visited both. It took around 3 hours total . 10mins from Brisbane south station. I visited with my family. Quiet and quality arts . Also there are nice cafe. If you don’t like noisy place , here is calm and quiet and makes you feel relax and enjoyable.

Wonderful place to visit. Knowledgeable and friendly experts to guide you through individual sections of the gallery. A carefully selected art work both domestic and international. I particularly appreciate the indigenous artists creation, beautiful and meaningful. The cafe wasn't too bad either, delicious toasted sandwich with a bunch of different food to cater for different dietary requirements. Definitely, worth a visit here.

A truly beautiful art center — every floor has its own unique character and charm! It’s also incredibly family-friendly. The children’s area was wonderful, and Clare was exceptionally warm, friendly, and welcoming. Her bright smile and kindness made our visit such a joyful and memorable experience. Highly recommended!

Loved this museum. Its big, not too busy and has wonderful exibitions! Plus its free. You can easily spend 2-3 hours here. Def. kid friendly with a cafe + play area on the river if you need refreshments.

The curators managed to take such a familiar fairytale and present it in a way that was fresh, imaginative, and deeply immersive. From the delicate costumes and sparkling gowns to the intricate set designs that re-created iconic moments, every corner of the exhibition invited you to pause, look closer, and get swept up in the magic. What I loved most was how it balanced nostalgia with creativity. The exhibition wasn’t just about retelling the fairytale—it explored how Cinderella has been reinterpreted in different cultures and across different mediums, from paintings and fashion to film and pop culture. Walking through, it felt both whimsical and thought-provoking, reminding me how stories we grow up with continue to evolve and inspire. If you’re in Brisbane, this exhibition is an absolute must-see, whether you’re a lover of art, fairytales, or just want to experience a touch of enchantment.

The Gallery of Modern Art offers a wonderful chance to see the world through the eyes of different artists — a perfect place to slow down and reflect on life. What touched me most was an artwork tracing a family tree that reminded us that, thousands of years ago, we were all connected as one big family. It made me wonder — why do we still create so many divisions between races today?

We were in Brisbane for medical reasons and had had a rough few days. Catching the City Cat was just what we needed. Joseph in particular was incredibly kind and funny and brightened our day. The crew made a big effort to help people and have genuine conversations. I was so grateful and impressed. If you’re like me and think “I’ll wing it and do the whole loop” be aware it’s really long and goes for more than 2 hours!!

I was on the city cat on the way to the rugby The lady who announced the stops was amazing, with phrases like my gorgeous people, my lovies The world would be a better place if we all took a leaf out of her book Be nice it's free

City Cat Terminal South Bank like the other City Cat Terminal’s is great. Travelling to South Bank on a City Cat is the best option to get to South Bank. No hassle with parking, as well as riding on the Brisbane River. The staff are always helpful when notifications on the stop that’s approaching. Staff are helpful with any questions that you may have. Jump on a City Cat to South Bank and enjoy the ride.

Joseph & Camille both very lovely, professional & engaging. Treating all passengers with care & empathy. Making alot of people smile. Always love catching the city cat but some trips stand out for sure. Thanks for always being a great, friendly, affordable & reliable service

Bossy staff, only letting 8 people on the ferry at a time (although the ferry offered much more seats). We waited for half an hour and then still didn't get on the ferry, so we decided to take the bus instead. Bit disappointing. Place was clean though and offered enough seats in the waiting area.

Great trip on the river around the city. Nice new and clean stations, friendly staff, clean and tidy ferry's. BUT NO WAY TO BUY A TICKET. You've got services, crew on board, lighting and power just put in a kiosk where you can purchase a go card. Extremely frustrating when you are travelling from interstate. Failing that how about an app on ya fone

This is a review of the CityCats rather than this particular CityCat terminal- which is all much the same. Riding a CityCat is a must for any visitor to Brisbane and a surprisingly rewarding experience for locals. This is the ultimate way to see the variety of Brisbane lifestyle, buildings and landmarks in a relatively inexpensive and easy to use service. Depending on how much have, you can explore Brisbane from the quiet rescue residential area of St Lucia to the busy reaches of the Brisbane river around Hamilton. The CityCat is part of the TransLink network so you use your GoCard or [or it’s soon to be introduced Smart Ticketing] Simply tap on and ride the CityCat for the entire round trip. For example, if you get on at South Bank, go upstream to the University of Qld, stay on the boat and then go right to Hamilton, stay on the boat and return to South Bank. That round would trip will take about two hours and 40 minutes all up. The off-peak cost for an adult at the time of writing is $3.37. But you can jump on and off and off and if you get back on without an hour it is considered as a continuation of your journey for the one fare. The new generation of CityCats has a top deck that you ride on. Otherwise, the front or rear decks provide an exhilarating experience. Full details of the CityCats are at the TransLink website or the Translink app

It is peaceful, calm and not noticeable that other people are there. There is something to see and enjoy but it is the styling of the garden beds with colourful flowers that brings the whole display together. Congratulations to all concerned.

I really enjoyed my visit to Roma Street Parkland. It’s such a peaceful spot right in the middle of Brisbane — beautifully landscaped with colourful gardens, shady trees, and walking paths. Great place to unwind, have a picnic, or just enjoy the scenery. Everything was spotless and well cared for, and it’s super easy to get to from Roma Street Station. Definitely one of my favourite places in the city.

Absolutely beautiful place to go! Bit of a hike to get to the nicer parts of the parkland but it’s definitely worth it. Loved to sit and watch all the lizards run around and chase each other. I look forward to coming back here again :)

The best park I've seen in Australia. Compact, but diverse and spacious. Beautifully arranged, with incredible variety of plants, tasteful sections for practically everyone, from kids to seniors.

Now this is the place to go if you want to enjoy the outdoors highly recommend 10 out of 10 beautiful gardens, waterfalls, water fountains, even a little train to take you and your family around to see all the pretty flowers and trees etc... This is my new favourite place and I cannot wait to come here again. If you are ever in the area please make a day of it and enjoy as there is much to explore and dont forget to bring the whole family or just have a picnic and relax 😊 you won't be disappointed. Best thing ive experienced in a long time. Love, Love, Love ❤️

So beautiful and clean. Good space for bbq. Well maintained. Plenty of toilets around the park. My son loved the train ride and the playground

I had a wonderful time at Roma Street Parkland. Came with my toddler and he had loads so fun playing, lots a steps to walk and jump around. Took beautiful pictures. I’ll recommend this place for families, couples and even singles. Beautiful scenery.

Highlight: Beds are SO comfortable. Great location in the city. It’s a very old building, which on one hand is beautiful but on the other hand has some issues. Example: 2 of the 3 elevators were down during my stay. Example: some of the windows don’t open. The parking is unfortunately a huge hassle and pretty long walk (since the elevator is down). Their parking structure is shared to the public, so it’s very busy and hard to find a space.

A surprise birthday treat for me by my wife meant an evening composed of various events. We therefore needed some flexibility in order to meet with the different time schedules organised. Our first stop was the Treasury Hotel, with a plan to park earlier in the day as my wife had work commitments. Reception arranged an early book in which allowed the whole event to run with ease and the room was just what we required. It was classic splendour, a ceiling around 20 ft high with solid walls in a quiet location formed around a quadrangle or courtyard providing privacy and it ensured a good night's sleep for me. The neo Italian renaissance style was present in the hotel room construction also adding further grandeur to any occasion with support pillars and a ceiling utilising a classic beam structure. A great place to stay for any occasion.

My husband surprised me with a night away for my birthday. What an amazing beautiful Historical hotel. Absolutely stunning. The staff member who checked us in was lovely and friendly. The room was absolutely stunning. We had breakfast included and it was awesome. We also ordered dessert from room service menu and it was delicious. 100% recommend this hotel.

We had a good experience at the Treasury. We landed in Brisbane early in the morning and got to the hotel around 9am. They will hold your bags for you and bring them up to the room when it’s ready. They texted us that the room was ready well before the listed check-in time. The staff were friendly and professional. The hotel is nicely decorated and has a classic feel. The property has a gym, which was empty and opened until 10:00pm. Had a good selection of weights and cardio machines. The room itself was pretty standard. It came with a balcony overlooking the square, but we did not use it. The bathroom is also pretty spacious. There was an issue with a water leakage in the hotel itself, but staff took care of it quickly during the day. They also gave us complementary fruit! Which was nice. Overall the location, price, and value was great and I’d recommend the Treasury if you’re standing in CBD, Brisbane.

We had a wonderful stay at the Treasury Hotel Brisbane. The staff were exceptionally friendly and welcoming from the moment we arrived. A special thanks to the team at the front desk — my wife accidentally left a gift in the lobby, and they went out of their way to locate and return it to us quickly. That level of care really stood out. The hotel itself is beautiful and full of character, but it’s the people who made the experience memorable. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Brisbane.

Absolutely stunning historical hotel. If I was to stay in Brisbane again, I would definitely love to return. We had dinner in the restaurant 2 nights, and I have to say the Pizza was one of the best we have had. Breakfast was a good choice. Valet parking was ideal. Each and every staff member, no matter where in the hotel they worked, were lovely. Southbank was also in close proximity for wonderful evening walks. You would not be disappointed with a stay here at The Treasury Hotel, and I hope we can return one day for another stay.

Great location - easy walking distance to queen street mall and casino. Charming heritage hotel - little worn - but very clean. Staff were friendly and unassuming- any concerns were swiftly addressed which was lovely. Car park still a decent hike with no lift access, fire stairs might be a bit challenging for those with mobility issues Super quiet and even though lots of people walking down below (drunken shenanigans!) couldn’t hear anything from the suites.

I'm so in love with this place. The view is outstanding. Its quite busy with alot of people biking and running along the water way. I have been here on multiple occasions to dine, drink or even just catch the city cat across the water. I plan to get an apartment here one day soon.

First time to visit. Accidentally went for Lunch. But it was very nice as I didn’t expect anything. Food was so yummy. Good service. Nice view. Stake was exceptional. I wanna visit again for stake.

Nice spot for an early morning cooked breakfast. Amazing views of the Brisbane River and Story Bridge. Lots of choices of where to eat. Meet up with friends for a memorable day. Enjoy a walk or bicycle ride after, along the esplanade. One of Brisbane's little secrets worth hunting out.

This is the central river hub where all the ferries come and where the riverboats live. It is a great location of restaurants and cafes overlooking the water. I saw the Riverboat office and did the Christmas lunch tour from here..

Great view of the river and story bridge. This is a much better place to see the New Year's Eve fireworks than the crowded southbank park.

Beautiful area! Within walking distance to the CBD and botanical gardens. Beautiful outlook over the river, with boats moored in front and Kangaroo Points cliffs towering up on the other side. The high rise architectural design here is phenominal. There are walking and bike tracks all along the river. The cafes here cater to the high class consumer with a diverse range of cultural gastronomy on offer (i.e.; latin, asian, western cuisine etc and coffee). Unfortunately the area lacks options for those on a lower budget. Otherwise it is a very pituresque area, well worth investigating!

A great area for entertainment & travelling over the Brisbane river! My girlfriend and I court the free ferry City hopper to Holeman Pier to go to the Storey Bridge! A very upmarket restaurant!

As said b4 , big range of products, I bought a dawft Malaysian golden coconut, but it also has a huge range of toys from match box cars to toy guns , you can buy native birds in a cage , if that's to your liking, i didn't know that was still cool. There are COLLECTABLES coins and stamps etc , FOOD

Not too bad. Big site and probably variable week to week but we only went once so not confirmed. A larger number of sellers selling second hand junk than we had expected. Reasonably good food offerings. Lots of plants, birds, fish and 3D printed goods for sale, with a bit of local honey and one or two fresh produce options. The fresh seafood stall looked good but we didn't visit.

I like coming here to buy plants. You can get competitive prices as some nurseries are stall holders. Some of the things you can buy include: - fruit and veggies (varying quality) - poultry - fish & birds - second hand items - new items - food & drinks There are ATM machines, toilets as well as a dedicated baby changing table. It's not my local market but there are certain stall holders that I've seen every time. It's located at a showground and has limited shade so it can get quite hot. I recommed bringing a hat or umbrella. There's lots of free parking available.

Great Market BUT beware of the WATCH REPAIRMAN. He charged $25 to put a .20 cent battery into a $19 dollar watch. Which took about 3 minutes. Total Rip Off. Redcliffe Markets charges just $10. He brings a bad name to the Caboolture Markets. He is the reason why, I have taken off two stars.

This place has really gone through a ringer since covid... it has its charm but it has excellent pricing, mostly, and still can be found to have great produce deals with some affordable homemade or mostly sellers of random online "things" thay your couldn't be bothered buying yourself but still being sold at an ok price. Don't expect too much.

I love this place , you get all veggies and fruits at a good price and fresh , it is open on Sundays 5 am to 12 pm , the earlier you go the fresh you get . For Indians, you get all south Indian veggies like sorakay , beerakay , dondakay , kakarkay , chamagadda and many more .

Who doesn't love a country market? Bargains to be found on plants, fruit and veg, thongs, and outdated tools. Public toilets available too. And free parking. Get there early before the heat hits.

Expensive but this track trumps any in QLD. The park itself is spacious with a variety of viewing areas with bbqs and amenities close by. 3 tracks, all kept in great condition. Karts were in good condition, too. A kiosk was available with a good selection of food and drinks. We had a great day 😀

It's a bit $ but great couple of hours of fun with the kids. It wasn't busy so got to use the long track instead of the short one. 4 races over two hours was perfect.

Such good fun! Organised really well! We had a right blast! Staff members very chill and friendly. Toilets clean, parking not too far away. Would love to go back!

1100m track (Adult track)✅️ Excellent karts✅️ Kid & Adult friendly✅️ Kids parties/Adult events✅️ Safety first & well maintained PPE✅️ Good friendly staff✅️ Bookings essential✅️ I'm in Ipswich twice a year for a month each time & a visit to Kingston Park Raceway (40min drive) is always one of the regular activities I do. I even ensure I pack my KPR balaclava & gloves these days to avoid purchasing them again. Karting is never cheap but Kingston Park is well worth a visit to bring out your inner Oscar Piastri #81 Highly recommend.

My teenage kids and myself had a fun day out on the Monte Carlo track. Douglas and the on track crew were super friendly and helpful. They made sure everyone was safe and the whole event was smoothly run. The staff in the reception and snack bar were also friendly and efficient. Definitely recommend.

Took my boy here for his 10th birthda, he absolutely loved it!! The staff are super friendly and energetic, they explain everything really well and are more then happy to help... I highly recommend this place for everyone, families, couples or singles, and children. If the kiddies are under 10 then dont stress, they have an iplay there along with plenty of seating around. They also have a Cafe which has some really nice food. Im giving these guys a 5 out of 5!!! Best time ever. Shout out to Jarrod who was looking after everyone the day we went, he was super friendly, done a bday shout out for my boy along with giving him and his brother extra time (from 6 and a half to 10 and a half minutes), thankyou so very much Jarrod......

Friendly and helpful staff. Great place to get into Go Karting. Two massive tracks and separate ones for Adults and Families/kids. Has on-site cafe and ample seating area. Highly recommend them.

Beautiful scenic drive then you arrive and are greeted by friendly staff in a delightful setting. Momo was our guide and she was friendly and full of enthusiasm for her job. She imparted a ton of information in a way that made it interesting. The grounds are well kept and the attached cafe, gift shop and winery are beautifully set up. We purchased some excellent gifts to take away with us. You cannot take photos inside the cave but outside and around the frog breeding areas you can. A great way to spend a few hours.

We visited with my elderly mother to whom wanted to see the butterflies 🦋 to which was not opened as yet and nothing was noted on their website about not been opened. Otherwise the glow-worms was a delightful experience along with the cafe and gardens. Would be nice if you cleaned up the rubbish in the pond and gardens to which the manager walked right past

Great, informative tour as part of ticket and entry. The glow worms were AMAZING. The cave was full of them glowing brightly. There's also Frog Hollow to see too. All set in lush rainforest on a vineyard estate. There's also a lovely cafe/restaurant and wine tastings. Definitely worth a visit.

Educational and informative guided tour, you will learn a lot about glow worms and see them lining up the man-made cave walls. The centre itself situated at a nice bush area and the garden is lovely. Worthwhile to visit.

Had a tour with Beau Eastman. It was his first tour but what a bubbly knowledgeable chap. We found out that he was a film maker and has done work for Sir David Attenborough. We had to dig to get that but it was amazing to hear his adventures after the tour. Made the whole tour just that bit more engaging and magical. The glow worm story is pretty cool. It’s like you end up inside the galaxy in space. And the whole place is actually bright from the glow after your eyes adjust. Worth checking out for sure. The frogs and lizards is a bonus.

Tour guide Austin was very informative and made learning about glow worms interesting and fun. Definitely worth $30 to experience.

Little bit pricey. But worth it. The guide was hilarious and informative while allowing a fair amount of off the script audience questions. I attended with my daughters and they absolutely loved it.. there is also a "dark den" with all kinds of amphibians and reptiles which was well maintained and true to pattern, very informative. No guide for the dark den, but a guide was needed in that section. Wonderful experience.

The light show was great but had no music when I was there

Redcliffe is a lovely place..We started at the Rsl for lunch then went for a walk on the jetty..It was great to see all the teenagers enjoying themselves jumping into the water..Then over to Bee Gees Way..How great is it..There are statues of them and information galore..There is seating so you can watch the short movie..I'm amazed how they can have all this and it's not vandalised..Must be a fantastic community..Lots of lovely shops..There is a English fish and chip shop that we'll be returning to next year..I did get a ice cream in the Big kids ice creamery and some English lollies in the confectionery shop..I'll be back..

My wife and I live near Redcliffe and I have visited this 'walk through' tribute to the Bee Gees- many, many times. Great music, good spoken commentary. Excellent visuals, including video of the BG's performing. Well worth a visit. Nearly forgot - " it's a 100% Free Attraction!

If you’re an oldie like me and grew up with the BeeGees music then you’ll love this tribute walkway in Redcliffe, free access

Nice place for a walk and recommend to have a look in case you're in Brisbane. Close are trendy bars and caffes, we spend like half of the day there around.

My six-year-old daughter loves to listen to Bee Gees music, and thanks for having this place, we had knowledge about Bee Gees now.

What a beautiful experience! It is a nice remembrance wall.

This review is for the Harry Potter Forbidden Forest Experience. The experience was wonderful and I had a lovely evening. The sound effects and visual were great and the experience did feel magical. My only let down was the pricing. The experience was very expensive, which didn’t even include increased pricing on weekends, the parking at the venue, and the food/merchandise at the event. I went alone, but even on a comfortable income would have had a hard time taking a small family to the event, as the cost was just so high. I think it could be made more affordable so that it could be more accessible to young families. For example, a cup of butterbeer (soft drink) in a Harry Potter plastic novelty cup was $25. The drink without the cup was $12. This was unnecessarily expensive for the cup of soft drink and the novelty cup, which parents may want to treat their kids to.

Sirromet is absolutely stunning – the location and atmosphere are second to none. The wine tasting was the real highlight: informative, well-organised, and the wines themselves were excellent. The food, however, was just average. Dishes were okay but nothing memorable, some lacked seasoning and overall didn’t live up to the standard set by the wines or the setting. Service was polite, but the 3 course lunch experience felt underwhelming given the reputation. Worth visiting for the wines and the views, but I wouldn’t come here just for the foods.

Beautiful location and facilities. The stay and dine tour was great value. The tour was basic but enjoyable and nice to try the varieties. The accommodation and grounds were great. Surrounded by local flora and fauna. However, the dinner and breakfast were a bit underwhelming considering the calibre of the venue. Overall, it was a very enjoyable stay and would recommend it, especially the package.

We celebrated my husband’s birthday here yesterday — our first time dining at Tucan Terrance . The atmosphere was lovely, and the staff provided excellent service, definitely full marks from us. We tried the fish of the day and the lamb shoulder. While the flavors weren’t particularly remarkable, the dishes were still tasty and enjoyable. A small suggestion: the lamb shoulder could come with a few more vegetables on the side. Overall, a very pleasant experience!

Disappointing Stay at Sirromet Winery – Poor Service and Lack of Hospitality My stay at Sirromet Winery yesterday was, unfortunately, a frustrating and disappointing experience, marred by consistently poor service and a lack of basic hospitality across multiple touchpoints. From the moment we arrived, the reception staff were unhelpful and unwelcoming. Checking in felt like an inconvenience to them, with no effort made to provide basic information about the property. Instead of being offered guidance on facilities, we were left to fend for ourselves, as were other guests who appeared equally lost. This lack of direction set a poor tone for the stay. The service issues continued at the restaurant. When attempting to make a dinner reservation, we were curtly told it was "full," only for a table to magically become available after we mentioned we were staying on-site. This reluctance to accommodate guests was frustrating and made us feel like an afterthought. The cellar door experience was equally disappointing. During a wine tasting, we were provided with dusty glasses, one of which had a chipped rim. After pointing this out, the wine had to be re-poured, likely due to contamination from a polishing cloth. Additionally, when asked to choose a drinking cup, we found every cup in the tray was dirty, which we had to demonstrate to the disinterested staff. After a long day we went to bed, the rooms are pretty good and clean, however the noise from the event next door kept going past 10pm, and finally they turned of the loud speakers at 10:50pm. Another thing that would of been nice to know from staff, hey guys just so you know expect it to be super loud up till almost 11. At least we would be expecting it. At breakfast, the wrong food was delivered, forcing one of us to wait while the other ate, further highlighting the staff’s inattention to detail. Basic customer service was nonexistent across the board. Simple requests felt like pulling teeth, and the staff’s attitude suggested guests were an inconvenience. While a large event (Harry Potter) was happening, this did not excuse the failure to deliver on standard hospitality expectations, such as clean glassware, accurate food orders, or clear communication. For a venue marketed as a premium getaway, Sirromet fell short in every way. We witnessed at least four occasions where different people stopped their cars, rolled down their windows, and asked us for directions to reception or parking. A group of about 15 people was seen wandering aimlessly down the road past the sanctuary until Harry Potter event security directed them toward the winery. Seeing others struggle with the same lack of assistance amplified the poor vibe. Good luck getting return customers, as the customer service culture at this winery is far from what it should be. Does Sirromet have any staff to coordinate events or manage busy times? If there was someone at the property entrance with a smile, offering basic information or guiding guests, perhaps even an information desk, our perspective on the stay might have been different, as the grounds and product are quite nice—just badly managed and coordinated. If you’re staying here for the first time, especially during a busy period, expect to spend a few extra hours wandering aimlessly to figure the place out, as staff assistance is virtually nonexistent.

We had a Stay and Dine experience which included the wine tour and tasting, dinner, accommodation and breakfast. Every aspect of our stay was wonderful, including staff, food and facilities. A beautiful place to stay for a special occasion or just to get back to nature.

Visited this winery today with friends. The setting is absolutely beautiful, especially on a sunny day like today — the views and overall atmosphere were lovely and relaxing. However, we were a bit let down by the lack of warmth and hospitality from the staff. It didn’t feel as welcoming as we had hoped, which took away from the overall experience a bit. We did the $35 wine tasting tour, which was okay — not amazing, but fair for the price. A few of the wines were enjoyable, though nothing really stood out. All in all, it’s a pretty place to spend some time, but we were expecting a bit more in terms of service and overall experience.

Long queues but the priority access made it easy. Did you rides easily even after reaching late. Had lots of fun!

Great water park, clean, well run and loads of fun. Awesome slides and plenty of spots to relax. Great for younger kids, and worth getting the annual ticket if a local.

I recently visited this water park and was thoroughly impressed. The facilities were immaculate, and the staff were incredibly attentive. The variety of attractions catered to all ages, making it a perfect family outing. The water slides were exhilarating. Overall, it was an outstanding experience that I highly recommend.

They sell services they are not equipped to handle. Severely understaffed. Most stores not opened. They sell unlimited refills for drinks online with no facility to actually refill them without waiting for over an hour in the same line at the 1 store open in the entire park to buy all drinks and food. The eating area is full of people waiting to be served and not actually eating.

I would never come back. Slides purposely slowed down to make reason for the ridiculously $100 price for 7 fast rides only. Everything is boring and slow lined up for 2 hours so far and still haven't been down a slide. Now the main water park is shut and we are just sitting on seat. By far the worst water park will NEVER come back. Movie World, Sea world and Wet n Wild are by far the absolute best places to go! And aren't a money pit for crap like WWW. Baby pool was the coldest pool we have been in at ANY THEME PARK ! Not even close to worth the price. And don't even get me started on waits for drink or food!!!

1 hour wait lines for 30 secs of joy Not worth the price or energy and frustration waiting in lines as an interstate visitor 2 adults and 2 children - left halfway through the day to go to dreamworld instead 4 slides in 4 hours ain’t cutting it Some slides had 2-3 mins down time between sliders for what??!! The 8 slide only had 5 lines open then they would send single riders or 2 riders down at once with a 2 min break at the end I understand safety but it’s actually ridiculous and feel it could be done so much better Opening during the week days would be so much better Will not be returning

The water park was extremely disappointing. Some of the best slides were not operating at all, and even the ones that were open suddenly turned into 45-minute waits without any explanation. I spent around three hours there and managed to go on only four slides in total — which is ridiculous for a place that advertises itself as a full water park experience. There was no information provided about which slides were open, why queues stopped, or what was causing the delays. The whole place felt poorly organized and completely not worth the money. Honestly, it feels like a real scam.

Family day to Dreamworld and White Water World. Lines were ok, not the busiest time of the year to go. Was still warm. More airflow/fans/cooling Required for ride lines. Clean amenities. Good/drink lines were average wait times in busy time slots. We didn’t eat food there only Drinks in refillable cups. White Water World is great for a Cool off after a busy day on the rides and walking around.

Dreamworld is a solid theme park with a good mix of rides and attractions. Nothing particularly mind-blowing, but definitely an enjoyable day out. The major rides are fun and well-run, and there’s enough variety to keep everyone entertained. Staff were friendly and the park was clean and easy to navigate. Overall, a good experience and worth visiting, especially if you’re looking for a relaxed theme park day with a few standout rides.

Amazing experience. We hired a mobility scooter for my mum to get around and it was the best because she could go on some rides that had disability access and still use the train. So much for the children to do. And so much variety. My daughter also did her first big roller coaster. It was the steel taipan, The attendant was amazing and let us go in the front and was extreamly reassuring when she was nervous. So an amazing first experience.

Just wow, What a wonderful experience. 🙏🏻❤️ My partner and I had such a blast. We are travellers from Victoria so not a big venture but one of all the same, I’ve been dreaming of coming here since I was a kid and the dream finally came true. A beautiful dream it was and a beautiful time we had! Through out the whole day we ventured through almost everything! We will be back!!! Given the fact that we messed around a lot it was still jam packed with so much. From the steel taipan roller coaster which was completely jaw dropping and left us shaking, to the wild life area where we tip toed around the massive crocodiles and beautiful birds. It’s funny as we walked around I was tranced on the fact that I could imagine how much I would have loved it there when I was younger. There’s a variety of different activities for all different ages and everything is so welcoming. I’ll be sure to bring little ones along with us next time to share this experience. The foods quick and easy, the price of goods is fair with the way the economy is today as well. As for wait times, there weren’t really any? But, when there was I can’t complain about it as it paid off and was well worth waiting. Thank you dream world 🙏🏻❤️we loved every second of being here!

It's been several years since my last visit, no issues with rides being under maintenance, however, we just seemed to get bored quickly and didn't spend the full day. Still good for little kids. I just remember there being more to do in the past for teens/adults and maybe that's why the queues were long, even in off peak. Glad we got heavily discounted tix. New restaurant was good. Despite all this, was a less frustrating experience than Movieworld (where almost everything was experiencing technical issues at least once or twice through the day).

I feel so lucky that I jumped on the amazing Locals annual pass deal! My daughter and I love all the offerings at Dreamworld. After spending 2 season passes at Village, everything is so refreshing at Dreamworld, and it's all conveniently in (essentially) one park!

I visited Dreamworld today for my birthday and it couldn’t have been a better way to celebrate! I went on the Giant Drop, Steel Taipan, Jungle Rush and Serpent Slayer every ride was amazing. The staff were fantastic and made the whole experience feel really fun, welcoming and safe. Such an incredible birthday outing with awesome rides and great vibes all day.

Great place to learn the history of Bribie island. The greetings from the moment we walked in from a very friendly lady/staff member who ensured we knew where even the basic bathrooms and debriefed us with the outline of the place, knowing we were newbies to the area. Very impressed with the whole experience. Thank you very much

A lovely free small museum full of lots of information and some artefacts recalling the history of Bribie Island. Periodical exhibitions of other things such as an art challenge exhibits or Da Vinci machines brought to life (currently). Right on the waterfront of Pumicestone Passage with beautiful calm waters and sandy beach. Air conditioned with a children's craft space and a unisex bathroom. Small gift shop. Parking adjacent and several eateries within easy walking distance and Brennan Park with a playground and good for picnics. Wheelchair friendly, including access ramp, bathroom and car parking.

The site was located next to the beach. Very well maintained and well presented. The receptionist was very friendly and welcomed us with a big smile. We had short and sweet time at the museum. It is free for all and opened on weekends too .

Loved it. Anything historical gets me in. This museum focuses on local history and points of interest. And it’s free!

There was an exhibition called "Bridging Now to Next" today. Unfortunately, I didn't participate in it. When I arrived, they were already packing up. When I entered, a tall man greeted me warmly. He asked me where I was from. He said that he had a friend who was also from Taiwan (or had been to Taiwan, because I heard that he traveled everywhere, and then learned martial arts (Kung Fu). Finally, I think he said that if I had any questions about the exhibition, I could ask him.

Wonderful, open until 3pm Sunday🌞🌞

Very interesting staff all friendly & helpful. Went to see Wildflowering by Design which was good & stayed to watch one of the movies 50 minutes. You just select your choice. Ian Fairweather the Artist who lived on Bribie & sold his works all over the world. Well worth a look.

This beach is especially safe for all families because it has a relatively shadow lagoon with neither wave nor shark for the non swimmers to play with water. Perfect spot to view sunset.

5 stars 100% The beach is so beautiful 😍 like Instagram level it's insane But also in the water, it's like very easy and calm to relax in and also it was like not deep at all even If you go far in like at some points you can stand Very safe area wish I could go again!

A little bit disappointed, beautiful length of beach but we had trouble visiting it. The road was blocked.

Beautiful patrolled beach - kids had a ball. Ample parking. Good ice cream and coffee but lacking any more substantial food options currently

Nice beach, great for sunrises over the point. Very flat and wide, perfect for kicking a ball around.

An okay beach — I've seen worse, but definitely seen a lot better

Amazing water, whitsundays level. Perfect spot away from the crowds
