What a find!!! We would highy recommend staying here Great self contained rooms with cooking facilities, clean tidy and quiet. Very reasonable pricing as well. Close to a shopping centre, restaurants along Brunswick Street and easy walking distance to both buses and the CityCat to the city. We ate at an Indian place and were really happy with the food...

As everyone has said, the apartments are great. They're clean and comfortable. The pool area is very nice. Its a mixed residential and holiday building and there aren't many people about. The bathroom is clean and functional. The bedrooms were a bit stuffy and the fan had this really weird noise so we opened a window for fresh air. This... More

We stayed for 2 nights on a weekend city-mini-break & chose New Farm due to all our familiar haunts in the inner-city / southbank / west end being booked out for the Bledsloe Cup. Sometimes it doesn't hurt to stretch the boundaries of your comfort zones! We'd never been to New Farm before and the Powerhouse Apartments ticked all the... More

As a seasoned business traveller, the Powerhouse Apartments and Terraces were a breath of fresh air. Outstanding quality product, true value for money. Everything you need is there and more. Great location and I will definately be a repeat customer and if you are looking for somewhere in Brisbane to stay, I would strongly recommend you give them a run. More

My company selected the Powerhouse apartments for an extended work trip to Brisbane - and I'm really glad they did. The apartment was really well located in New Farm, not too far from the restaurants in New Farm and there are a few within a 1 minute walk. Being near the river and parks made it a very handy and...

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... More

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... More

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... More

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... More

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. More
