Our Local Area

Enjoy some of the local attractions that Wynnum has to offer. Wynnum esplanade is only a short 500m stroll from the hotel where you can explore the unique bayside parklands on the foreshore. With a multitude of play areas, man-made sandy beaches, swimming and wading pool and over 5km of pedestrian and cycling tracks, there is something for everyone.

St Helena Island

St Helena Island is Queensland’s most historic island. This beautiful National Park is located four kilometres from the mouth of the Brisbane River and is only a short boat ride from Manly. Australia’s Alcatraz at St Helena Island National Park housed hundreds of society’s outcasts in colonial Queensland’s foremost maximum security prison for over 60 years.

Fort Lytton National Park

Fort Lytton National Park is at the mouth of the Brisbane River, a short trip from the Waterloo Bay Hotel. Fort Lytton was built in 1880-1881 to protect Brisbane from enemy attack and was the focus of Queensland's defence activity for 40 years. This coastal fortification can still be viewed by the public with its original walls and huge machinery. Fort Lytton is open every Sunday from 10am to 4pm and most public holidays. Self-guided tours are free. 90 minute guided tours by volunteers run between 10.30am and 2pm.
