4/234 Shafston Avenue, Kangaroo Point – Brisbane’s Best Value 3-Bedroom with a 110m² Private Terrace
Location: Wellington Towers, 4/234 Shafston Avenue, Kangaroo Point QLD
A curated review of one of Brisbane’s most uniquely livable inner-city apartments.
Every now and then, a city apartment breaks the rules. 4/234 Shafston Avenue is one of those homes: a genuine 3-bed, 2-bath residence that lives like a house thanks to its tropical, ~110m² private terrace. Step outside and you’re surrounded by a lush, rainforest-style outlook—towering palms, filtered light, and the soft hush you rarely find this close to the CBD.
It’s the combination that’s almost impossible to source in Kangaroo Point right now: real bedroom space, a sunlit living zone, tasteful furnishings that flatter the interiors, and an outdoor sanctuary big enough for long lunches, yoga, pets (STBCA), or simply doing nothing at all.

First Impressions & Styling
The home is styled to feel warm and grounded—timber tones, soft textiles, and greenery that extends the terrace’s “forest” energy indoors. Furnishings are sized correctly (a common miss in apartments), so rooms read larger and more functional. The overall effect is “holiday at home,” without sacrificing practicality.
Floor Plan That Actually Works
- Three real bedrooms (no “pretend” study), two with balcony access and green aspects.
- Primary suite with walk-in robe and ensuite; secondary bathroom with integrated laundry.
- Air-conditioned living/dining that spills onto the terrace for effortless entertaining.
- Contemporary kitchen with practical prep space and sightlines to social zones.
- Secure car space; lift access; residents’ pool & BBQ in Wellington Towers.
House-Like Lifestyle, Inner-City Convenience
From your front door, stroll to the river boardwalk, Kangaroo Point Cliffs, cafés and the local IGA (~250m). The Mowbray Park ferry (~300m) and bus stops outside mean the CBD, Howard Smith Wharves and South Bank are minutes away. The Gabba is ~1km, with schools, universities and hospitals within an easy radius.
Why This Apartment Is So Hard to Replace
- Scale you can feel: ~110m² of exclusive outdoor space—try finding that again.
- True three-bedroom utility: flexible rooms for guests, WFH, or a growing household.
- Rainforest vibe: a private, green sanctuary—rare in inner-Brisbane stock.
- Walk-everywhere position: ferry, buses, dining, and the river on your doorstep.
- Scarcity in KP: very limited comparable stock with this scale of terrace + 3 beds.
