Treetops? run by Brisbane Cottages?

Brisbane Cottages

Just booking accomodation and they come up as the same price as Brisbane Holiday Village but its a bigger house etc in a nicer area.

There are 5 of us and we like a bit of space.

Any experiences would be gratefully received

Sorry no, but we used to live across the river at Ascot. We took the ferry over to Bulimba sometimes, it's REALLY nice.

I work at Bulimba and think it's beautiful. Close to the city, river and terndy Oxford Street.
If the Brisbane Holiday Village is the one at 8 mile plains, we stayed there when we came. Couldn't fault it but the location is not so good but convenient for road, rail and shops. Nice atmosphere with plenty of holdiay makers and ex-pats around you. Pool etc.
In summary, both have advantages and disadvantages. Depends what your plan of action is........Plus kids etc. If you have young kids, the freedom of the Village may be more suitable. Otherwise, I would choose Bulimba

Bulimba is exceptionally nice. The citycat is walking distance and the main street is adorned with really nice cafes.

We stayed there back in November 2004. Lots of mosquitos at the back yard! But the house was nice and the owner very helpful. Good exercise going up and down the hill to Oxford Street!
