This time, we opted for a fantastic hiking route, starting from the Botanic Gardens and walking all the way up to the summit along Sir Samuel Griffith Dr. A Scenic Forest Hike: The walk takes you through the lush Mt Coot-tha Forest. Following the clear signs pointing towards the Summit Lookout, this steady uphill trek along the road is a highly enjoyable way to get some exercise and soak in the fresh air. Awe-Inspiring City Views: When you finally reach the summit lookout, the view is worth every drop of sweat! You get a completely unobstructed, spectacular panoramic view of the entire Brisbane CBD skyline and the sprawling city below. It is a true "million-dollar view." A Well-Deserved Drink: The absolute best part of reaching the top was rewarding ourselves with a classic Aussie Bundaberg Alcoholic Ginger Beer! Sipping on an ice-cold beer while taking in the stunning scenery is an incredibly satisfying experience. A Smart Descent: After fully enjoying the view and resting up, we decided to take the bus back down. The public transport access here is super convenient, making it a relaxing and perfect end to a fulfilling half-day trip. I highly recommend this "hike up, bus down" approach to any outdoor enthusiasts looking to experience the highest vantage point in the city!
Was only in Brisbane for a couple hours so had to see it all at once and this view does not disappoint, only like 15/20 minutes from the CBD and shows beautiful views of Brisbane There is a lovely cafe/restaurant here also and the staff were super friendly 10/10
Would be fab place to watch sunset. Beautiful views across the Brisbane city. Walks to do around there too. Awesome drive up there. Take a picnic as there are so many places to stop coming down the hill on the TV network side.
Just reopened recently after a long-term closure due to extensive renovations and other matters that impact on businesses. However,it is back with a vengeance. Relaxed atmosphere with some, if not thr best views in Brisbane, we'll you are on the top of a mountain! Decor is stylish, and modern with an excellent menu selection, and reasonably priced. We had the Summit Restaurant take on a Tapas style selection of taste bud tempting delights. Great selection of wines, and very friendly and professional staff, who were attentive to l if our needs. What I really enjoyed way that each dish was introduced and explained by each of the wait staff which just adds another level to the SUMMIT culinary dining experience . So if you're looking for that special place to take family, or friends, or a venue for a moment in time to remember then reach for the SUMMIT. Bookings are essential and parking is subject to visitors to the MT Cootha Lookout. Bon appetite!!
The best place I’ve ever been to. The kind of place that makes your heart happy just by looking at nature. We went there when it was raining, and it was so beautiful that we couldn’t stop admiring the greenery. I absolutely loved this place and would love to visit again.
