Currently in Kangaroo Point for the foreseeable, paying $1050.00 a week, fully furnished, serviced, river views, love it..............but another couple of weeks, we need to get something more realistic matching our budgets etc...

We have been to look at a few places near by......

What we need, two bedrooms, both with air con. Fully Furnished, clean, quiet, respectable, as close as possible to CBD, an hours walk in at most, if possible......

Any ideas, of any areas which match our needs and wishes, North, South, East or West of Brisbane CBD.

Love New Farm, love Teneriffe, but at $650 plus a week, a tad big on our budget. Really want something around $450 to $550. I know what we want and what we get, well, we have to settle for less......Just asking any idea's?


Thanks

Say Hello to the KP Hotel for me!

Do you know where you'll be working? Also fully furnished is really limiting your choices, you'd probably save by picking up the furniture you need cheap and renting unfurn, provided you can sign up for at least 6 months.

This looks quite good - near the city

Just checked Bulimba rentals. Pulling myself off the floor.

I agree that fully furnished "really" limits your choices. You would have hundreds to pick from without that requirement.

If you want walkability I would stick to the inner west/north to avoid the river crossing. The Spring Hill/Petrie Tce/Paddington/Milton/Red Hill/Auchflower areas are often very walkable. Somewhere off Caxton/Given/Latrobe Tce would be ideal or down near Nash St at Rosalie.

Here's a furnished one almost in the CBD for $480:

Phew! Just as well brisbane's not due for a flood for another 10 years. You might want the fancy furniture to be water resistant

It was a 1 in a 100 year flood don't be such a pessimist Anyway did you see the backyard shot, it was a flood, not Noah's Ark

Pollyana

So we just had the one for the last hundred years - the one for the next hundred could come along in a couple of years time I'd like to see what the flood level was on that one

fish.01

Yes, last one anywhere near last years flood was 1893.

I realise that's what's available for the price but not exactly luxurious or large are they?

fish.01

No, did I miss that criteria as you said take out the furnished requirement and they get a lot better...

I know Still ploughing through claims for repairs worth millions of $$ to State assets like roads. The amount of work to fix the State up is still enormous over a year on, and no end in sight.

coldbeer

Yeah, thats what I thought too, cost of a couple of beds, TV, fridge etc would pay itself back pretty quickly I would have thought.
