The Fish Bowl Vibrant Riverside Escape with Pool

This retro-coastal apartment offers unforgettable riverside living with the spirit of the coast—just steps from the Brisbane River, the ferry, and Oxford Street’s vibrant dining and shopping scene. Inside, a joyful living area captures the energy of summer, a breezy balcony sets the scene for alfresco dining, and a workspace keeps remote days easy. With access to a stunning shared pool, this escape offers the perfect blend of indoor comfort and outdoor leisure in the heart of sunny Queensland.
Welcome to this riverside retreat, where the soul of the ocean meets retro styling, creating a relaxed escape perfect for Queensland’s warm seasons. Inside, the living area invites you to kick off your sandals, sip something cold, and unwind after a sun-soaked day. A sunshine-yellow sofa, turquoise panelled TV wall, and floral cushions capture the spirit of an endless summer.

Step onto the covered patio to dine alfresco at the generous bench, or sink into the outdoor lounge with a glass of wine in hand while little ones explore the nearby terrarium. On sunny days, head down for a refreshing dip in the shared pool, or stretch out on a sun lounger with a good book.

The kitchen blends artistic flair with practical comfort, featuring a striking mosaic splashback that celebrates Queensland sea life and Indigenous design motifs. Fully equipped with a full-size oven, dishwasher, Nespresso machine, and French press, it’s designed for everyday living. At its heart, a marble island with a pull-out dining table offers a relaxed spot to share meals.

The queen bedroom continues the tropical aesthetic with rattan details, mirrored wardrobes, and leafy views that create a calming retreat. The bathroom feels like a boutique spa, with scalloped tiles, brass fittings, and a hand-painted shell basin. A rain shower over a deep tub invites total relaxation, while a hidden laundry with a washer and dryer adds everyday convenience.

A built-in workspace behind folding doors offers a quiet spot for remote work. Split-system air conditioning and heating in both the bedroom and living area, along with ceiling fans, keep you comfortable year-round. Secure garage parking is available for one vehicle.
During your stay, you and your group will have the entire space to yourselves, with access to the communal pool. Please make yourselves at home!
