    We absolutely love the Brisbane Manor and try to stay here every time I come into Brisbane. It is a very popular place so accomodation can be hard to get. It is affordable, close to everything we like to attend. Its not designed for the hoity toity and if you want 5 star then this isnt for you but I think it is 5 star in my books for its charm, location and I just love the place, its old in style, beautiful fixtures, really homely and has a brilliant front patio to have nibblies and pre concert drinks..
