Getting Around

Most people walk and/or take a ferry ride on the river. Best to leave the car at home, as parking in Brisbane is expensive. Taxi/Uber are approx $10 to Southbank and CBD. A bus stop is just around the corner.
Only 10 min walk from Big House, you can catch a FREE City Hopper Ferry to Southbank, CBD, Eagle St Pier and more. Enjoy the spectacular scenery while you travel.
