Riverview Motel

Riverview Motel offers quiet, budget accommodation in Brisbane, with the supplied listing placing it in Bulimba and the motel’s website giving a Riverview Terrace address in Hamilton. It is positioned just off Kingsford Smith Drive, with the site describing it as convenient for Brisbane Airport, the city centre, Portside and Racecourse Road.

The motel suits travellers looking for practical facilities rather than a resort-style stay. Rooms are described as air-conditioned and non-smoking, with an ensuite shower, bar fridge, microwave, toaster, desk, flat-screen TV, tea and coffee-making supplies, Wi-Fi, linen and towels. Housekeeping is available on request, and the property also offers free on-site parking, luggage storage, tourist information and direct-dial phones.

Its location is particularly useful for visitors attending events, catching transport or exploring the area without relying entirely on a car. The website says the Cruiseship Terminal, Bretts Wharf CityCat terminal and a Translink bus stop are within walking distance, while Breakfast Creek Hotel, Doomben Racecourse and Eagle Farm Racecourse are nearby. Portside’s shops, restaurants and Dendy Cinema, along with local supermarkets, banks, a post office and library, are also listed among the surrounding amenities.

Riverview Motel is family owned and run by a small team that says it enjoys helping guests with local knowledge. A cot with linen and a baby bath are available, making the property relevant to families, while the air-conditioned rooms, parking and location may also suit solo visitors, work travellers and guests visiting Brisbane for an event. The motel has a Google rating of 4.1 from 256 reviews.
