Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary

Open tomorrow at 09:00-17:00
iQOO🐮:“Longbai Koala Reserve is a wonderful place! As soon as you step into the park, you are surrounded by greenery and tranquil atmosphere. Koalas lie lazily on the banyan tree, occasionally moving their little ears, cute, people can't help but look a few more eyes. You can also observe them eating up close and hear them chewing on eucalyptus leaves. The staff here are also very enthusiastic, the explanation is vivid and interesting, and people have a deeper understanding of the life habits of koalas. Here, it seems that time has slowed down, full of healing and relaxation.”

I bid farewell to the talkativeness of Shanghai and came here to be as warm as spring. There are few people and it feels very good. I can also eat oysters at night, which is super delicious.”

voco Brisbane City Centre

4.4/5116 Reviews
Decanapel:“Good location, walkable to the CBD. The room is quite standard, it has a good view of the Brisbane River for the room type that we booked. The only unpleasant experience was that our friends (2 other families) checked in together with us but they were upgraded to a junior suite. We asked the front office staff why aren’t we being upgraded since we are in the same group, they said the upgrade is only for IHG members (which I am) but unfortunately I don’t get an upgrade since I booked via Trip.com.”

The Star Grand Brisbane

The Star Grand Brisbane

4.6/575 Reviews
Guest User:“Love my 3 nights stay, the bed and the room was very comfortable. The only draw back is to find a parking space when you hire a car cuz the star parking is expensive at $45 per one time in and out nit unlimited in and out. The other drawback is no buffet breakfast. The location is very convenient, easy to get to the city and to find food and supermarket (within walking distance). The amenities like pool, steam room, sauna, sky deck and gym are great. Overall value wise I think is too pricey for no parking and no breakfast.”
Hyatt Regency  Brisbane

Hyatt Regency Brisbane

4.5/5202 Reviews
Asawaprecha:“The location is superb. It located right at the CBD. Very easy to get around. The service was fast especially the check in process. We arrived early and got check in very fast. We complain about the cleanliness and staff was attentive upon the request we made. The staff were very nice.We got a free upgrade from 13th floor to 21st floor. The downside is that the bedsheet and pillowcase change was very slow and we waited until 11 pm even though we made request before 4 pm. The free buffet is also very average.”
