Chermside Motor Inn  

On Brisbane’s north side in Chermside, this family-run motor inn sits close to hospitals, a large shopping centre, a local waterpark and 7th Brigade Park. It’s about 9 km from the Brisbane CBD and handy for visitors to the northern suburbs.

Small, no-fuss property with 22 air-conditioned rooms (Queen, Twin and Family). Rooms come with refrigerators, LCD TVs and private showers; some rooms vary by category. Shared/communal kitchen is available. The vibe is simple and practical, with accessible rooms and an elevator for guests with mobility needs.

Complimentary Wi-Fi across the property and free self-parking. Both indoor and outdoor pools, a garden, library and BBQ area add low-key charm. Tour/ticket assistance, on-site car rental, laundry, dry cleaning and ironing make longer stays easy. Wake up to quiet suburban mornings and jump into the pool later.

Business centre on site, luggage storage and complimentary wireless internet. Laundry facilities and easy parking help keep work and travel simple.

Cooked-to-order breakfasts are available daily for a fee, and a communal kitchen lets you self-cater. Five cafes within a couple of minutes' walk serve local flavours, and a pair of clubs are an easy stroll away for evening drinks.
