“Brilliant Value. No 1. Choice in Brisbane for Business or Pleasure”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 December 2010

I stayed at a 1 BR in the Powerhouse Apartments and Terraces for 2 weeks on business. Absolutely brilliant location near the valley, city Cafe's and Restaurants. It really is the best of both worlds being in a relatively quite location, but quick access to the city. Most mornings, I went for a jog around the river boardwalk, just a few minutes away. I also used the Gym and pool a couple of times. The apartment is decked out with a full kitchen if you feel like cooking your own meals and has a washing machine and dryer to help keep your suitcase to a minimum of clothes. It was clean and tidy with a nice balcony overlooking the tree-lined street. Not sure about the other reviews, but Val at reception was very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. I highly recommend the Apartments to anyone staying for business or pleasure. I'll be back!!

“Fantastic venue, location and value”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 June 2009

We stayed for a week in a one bedroom and found for the money and location it was a fantastic venue. Easy to get to transport vie river or bus.
Yes it does not have a reception desk manned like a hotel but when we needed the manager she was available...for us it was perfect and with no manned desk felt less like a hotel and more like a home!!!
For some this is good and for some not...
We will definitely say again...

“Good place but”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 May 2009

person found this review helpful

Nice two bedroom apartment in an excellent location in Newfarm. Very close to cafes, shops and a great park. However, some of the stuff (plates, dishes etc) were a bit dirty. Reception is not always available either. We had two young children and it was perfect for our needs. Bit of a mixed bag. Great in someways and average in other ways. We would stay there again.

“Great little Oasis in Central Brisbane”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 March 2009

This has been my second stay at the powerhouse apartments. The rooms are always spotless and the managers are always efficent in responding to any requests. The other bonus is the location, close to the night life in the valley, close to the river and near the weekend markets. Would definitely recommend this accomodation to singles, couples and families. Thanks Val and Errol, see you again soon!

“Fantastic location and very helpful staff”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 March 2009

Have stayed a number of times now for business. Formerly would stay in the city but found the Powerhouse Apartments and Terraces a welcome change to hotel accommodation. Good central location if you need to do business in Brisbane and very comfortable for longer stay. The staff are very efficient and helpful and would definitely recommend the complex highly.
