New Farm Homestays

We had tried all other QLD Spicers, so decided to now try Balfour. I was a little unsure about its location, but that was the big surprise : New Farm is a lovely area, with super easy access to the city, the river (with Howard Smith Wharves and ferries) and popular precincts. It turned out the best location to watch the New Year's fireworks. There are about 6/7 parking bays around the back of the property ; it is a little tight and we were lucky to get the last vacant spot. We had an easy, friendly check-in with Jack, Manager, who showed us to room 8 on the ground floor. The room is elegant and clean, but we found it rather cramped - which is not unusual for a city hotel. It had a tiny outdoor area with metal table & chairs. The bathroom had both rain-shower and bath ; all toiletries are plenty and super luxurious, which is standard Spicers fare. There is a small rooftop bar, seating probably no more than 20 people ; some mediocre views, but a very nice spot for pre-dinner drinks. Breakfast can be had outside on the veranda and is super sensational : healthy and delicious. The Balfour is truly a boutique hotel : small, very personal, friendly service, exquisite atmosphere, stylish and relaxing. That comes with a steep price tag, but occasionally one deserves to indulge . . .
