Bed and Breakfast in Brisbane
Bed and breakfasts are ideal for travelers who are staying
in Brisbane in
a limited amount of time (a day or two,
perhaps) while still keeping in the thrust for a memorable
living experience. There are a number of bed and breakfasts
in Brisbane; some are located within and outside, yet near
the Central Business District. Most of the bed and
breakfasts in Brisbane are restored/preserved colonial
houses, making one’s stay in Brisbane a taste of history.
One example of such restored historic homes is the colonial
Eton Bed and Breakfast which is located within the Brisbane
Central Business District. This traditional house is
furnished with polished floors, bathrooms and
air-conditioning. Included in the AU$110 (for single room)
or AU$145 (for double or twin room) fee is a complimentary
Continental buffet breakfast. All rooms have access to tea
and coffee, refrigerator, laundry and iron.
And the breakfast is served in the dining room or adjacent
courtyard garden.
