Meriton Suites Surfers Paradise
Great room and great location. Great amenities in the room and guest services was very helpful. The only suggestion I have is to provide a water bottle filling station, recycling bins in the rooms, and a dish drainer for the kitchenette for drying dishes. Would recommend this property to anyone.

Brisbane Skytower Apartments by CLLIX
Nice location in a very walkable city. 2 BR with one bath is a bit tight for a family of 4 with only 1 bathroom by Australian apartment standards. Furnishing felt abit well-used. Good view of Kangaroo Point from our 60th floor.
