Bridgewater Apartments

Brisbane


Wobbling distance from the Story Bridge Hotel (and Story Bridge itself), this secure apartment complex comprises a three-storey maze of units and a 13-storey tower with Insta-worthy views (ask for a Riverview room). While you will find the odd sign of wear and tear (and the air-con doesn't reach the bedrooms effectively), the rooms and apartments are spacious and a quick, free ferry trip from the heart of the city.
