Edward Lodge, Brisbane, Boutique Accommodation

Edward Lodge is boutique accommodation in New Farm, around 2 km east of Brisbane’s CBD. The lodge offers a fresh continental breakfast each morning at no extra charge, served in a sunny breakfast room. Its location suits visitors in Brisbane for business or leisure, with Sydney Street Ferry pier nearby and the CityCat providing a public transport route towards the CBD.

The surrounding neighbourhood adds plenty to a stay. New Farm’s restaurants, wine bars and entertainment venues are close by, while Fortitude Valley is about a 10-minute walk away for guests looking to explore Brisbane’s nightlife. The lodge is also near New Farm Park and the area’s historic, tree-lined streets, making it a practical base for experiencing this inner-city suburb.

The building was completed in 1912 as a substantial two-storey brick property, using bricks brought from England as ballast. It has had several lives, including a period as a commercial property and later as a private home known as Badu. Since 2006, the current owners have continued restoring and improving the lodge, with the present interiors shaped to reflect the house’s age and Brisbane’s subtropical character. The design combines crisp, fresh tones with a green theme inspired by the nearby park and streets, alongside a focus on comfort and understated elegance. Edward Lodge is a considered choice for solo travellers, couples and business visitors wanting a heritage property in a well-connected part of Brisbane.
