Nestled above the Brisbane River, the friendliness of the staff was evident to visitors, who, upon arrival are greeted at Reception by friendly and helpful administration staff.

With its shady Moreton Bay figs, vibrant jacarandas and walking path that takes in sweeping views of the Brisbane River, Bethesda is a place of natural beauty that has a proud history of nurturing generations of Queenslanders. The main homestead at Bethesda spans across 3 units, each with its own spacious sitting room and dining room, some still with their original fittings and fire places. All rooms are equipped with air conditioning, flat screen TV, and cabling for phone. Some rooms offer ensuite bathrooms. Residents can access free Wi-Fi anywhere throughout the home and IPads are available for use on request. Full laundry services are available, as well as a domestic washing machine for those residents who wish to do their own.
