Where to Stay Near Cleveland QLD | OASIS Masters Football

TOP

To make a daily commute to Cleveland easy, you should base yourself in suburbs that are either on the direct train line or have express bus routes to the area. And to really make it a no-brainer – public transport around Cleveland and Brisbane is just 50 cents per trip! (Except the train to and from Brisbane Airport).

You can choose to stay close to Cleveland, or further along the coast in Brisbane. Brisbane gives you the best of both environments – you can spend your day playing football in Cleveland while your partner enjoys the fresh sea breeze, coastal walks, cafes and eateries. Then, you take a 40-minute train ride back to Brisbane to enjoy a diverse culinary scene, go to a concert, or visit cultural institutions like the Gallery of Modern Art (GOMA).

A Bit Further Afield

Expanding your search to include Wynnum, Manly, and Alexandra Hills opens up a great variety of bayside, marina, and suburban accommodation options. These areas are situated along the train line between Brisbane and Cleveland, offering a mix of coastal charm and convenient suburban living. Here are the primary accommodation venues in coastal specific suburbs that are within 30 mins drive of Cleveland township and the 70+ World Cup venue.

A Quick Tip for These Areas:

Staying in Wynnum or Manly is highly recommended if you want to enjoy the bayside lifestyle, as both suburbs have their own train stations on the Cleveland line. This makes it very easy to commute into the Brisbane CBD or head out to the coastal ferry terminals.

Alexandra Hills is better suited if you prefer a quieter, more suburban environment with easy access to major shopping centres and highway routes.
