Redlands Coast Vacations from ￥114,060

I had a large apartment and everything needed. It was well equipped, good position to enjoy Brisbane and the South Bank. Friendly staff. Apartment could do with a little updating and the carpet showed plenty of wear. However this didn’t really impact my stay and it was exceptionally clean

The location of the apartment was fantastic — just a short walk to South Bank Parklands, the city centre, and a nearby supermarket. We really enjoyed the lovely view from the top floor, and the staff were friendly and accommodating. Early check-in and help with our special requests made our stay more convenient. That said, the apartment could benefit from some updates. Both beds were quite uncomfortable, and the bathroom had a noticeable drain smell. The kitchen was minimally equipped, making it a bit tricky to prepare meals. Some of the furniture was worn — one balcony chair was broken, and the small dining table only had three wobbly chairs for four guests. The pool area was a nice feature, but the water was very cold and the space didn’t feel particularly well-maintained. Overall, we had a pleasant stay thanks to the great location and helpful staff, but with a few improvements, the apartment could be much more comfortable.

Rating: 3/5 We recently stayed at Rydges Southbank and while the overall stay was great, our check-in experience left a lot to be desired. We arrived to a long line and only one staff member checking in guests. Opted for self check-in which was thankfully smooth. Unfortunately, the requested baby cot (confirmed months in advance) wasn’t in the room. When we followed up, Declan at reception dismissed it, claiming nothing was on the booking—even when we offered to show proof. He then hung up. After over 3 hours, multiple ignored calls, and no follow-up as promised, we were left with a tired 5-month-old well past bedtime and no safe sleep solution. We were even asked what we thought was a suitable solution, which felt like pressure to accept something unsafe. Eventually, after walking down to reception again, we were told a cot was on the way—finally delivered close to 9pm. No apologies, just attitude. That said, the rest of our stay was lovely. Huge thanks to Sandy in guest services who quickly brought extra towels and made the kids’ bath time a highlight. Would consider staying again, but the check-in and cot situation really needs attention.

Thank you very much. Lovely handy accommodation.

Excellent location. Close to ferries, cafes, tourist hotspots. Great for a family
