Home Exchanges for 2024 Finalised. Looking for exchanges in 2025!!!!
Brand new luxury 5-star two-bedroom riverfront apartment located in The One Residences, one of Brisbane's premier apartment complexes. As the photographs show, the apartment is located on the banks of the Brisbane River in Brisbane City. It faces across the Brisbane River towards Southbank, the parkland location of Brisbane's premier cultural precinct (e.g, The Queensland Performing Arts Centre, The Queensland Museum, The Queensland Art Gallery and Gallery of Modern Art, and the Queensland State Library) and many of Brisbane's best restaurants. Southbank is a short five minute walk across the Victoria Bridge from The One Residences.
The apartment has a modern kitchen, central air-conditioning and heating, WiFi, up-to-date audiovisual equipment, and great views of the City Reach of the Brisbane River. The windows and the balcony doors of the apartment are triple-glazed to keep out traffic noise and keep the apartment warm and comfortable throughout the year. The balcony has a modern outdoor kitchen and furniture for outdoor entertaining.
The One Residences has a heated indoor lap pool with sauna, an excellent BBQ area, and an excellent gym on the 4th Floor River Deck.

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
Within 50 metres of apartment, one can get to the Bicentennial Bike/Pathway that goes from the University of Queensland at St Lucia, past Brisbane's Central Business District all the way to Hamilton.
Two CityCat Ferry Terminals are located in walking distance of my apartment. One is located on the city side of the river along North Quay whilst the second is located at Southbank just across the Brisbane River from my apartment. The CityCats are a great way of exploring Brisbane from there river and can take you to some of the interesting suburbs outside of the central business district. The Tour boat wharf is located directly across the river from my apartment - just a short five minute walk across the Victoria Bridge or the Kurilpa Pedestrian Bridge.
Mt Cootha and the D'Aguilar National Park - great for bush walking and observation of Australian native flora and fauna (15 minute drive).
Lone Pine Sanctuary - great place to see and learn about Australian animals (15 minutes drive).
Gold Coast and hinterland (great beaches and tourist attractions e.g., Wet& Water World, Dreamworld, MovieWorld, Lamington National Park etc.) - 55 minutes drive
Sunshine Coast and hinterland (great beaches and attractions e.g., Noosa, Montville, Australian Zoo, Edmund Markets) - 75-120 minutes drive.
