Accommodation
Wellington Apartment Hotel
Great place to stay for a football weekend. Short 10 minute walk to the Gabba Ground and only a short walk and a City Ferry away from Brisbane City Centre and Southbank. Reasonably priced and across the road from the Shafston Hotel which has a fantastic restaurant.
