best way would i think to ring the racq or what it in nsw they can tell the of some where to go. there a place called air port parking or gateway parking they are long term parking with a good price and a bus that will take you to the ship there other places too but i think off them

There are a few long term near the airport. (Do not use the airport long ter though) These have shuttle buses.

 

There is a F1 motel near the airport. I recently stayed at one of these in Gosford before our last cruise and found it to be very cheap, very plain, but clean and tidy. Very similar to an interior cabin on a cruise line actually.

 

If you want something special there are plenty of good motels in the city. If leaving on a weekend there always seems to be specials around.

here you go this list is not at the air port but is long term parking the last time we used long turn parking is was $85.00 per week with a bus to the ship at 9.00 am. hope this link helps you out

Within walking distance of the Portside terminal in Brisbane is the Kingsford Smith Motel, they have a website I believe, there are also some others along Kingsford Smith Drive.

 

Also the city isn't too far away, and you could always catch the City Cat ferry back to the wharf (or close to it, a short walk) on sailing day.

 

There is parking at a couple of places near the airport and they do provide shuttles to the wharf - I think there's some info for them on the Portside website as well.

We park at Andrews Parking - which will 'shuttle' you to and from the cruise terminal - if you're a RACQ (or affiliated inter-state auto-club member I think) you can get a 10% discount - information and booking is availble (for the discounted price) through the RACQ website ... or directly (without the discount) through their own (Andrews Parking) website.

 

I think for us for 9 nights was just over the $100 mark for undercover/secure parking.

Andrews Airport Parking is a good one and reliable: 10 nights undercover is $107, outdoor is $87. (they will shuttle you to and from)

Thanks again for all your help.

I found a motel that offers long term parking and will shuttle you to cruise terminal all at a reasonable rate if anyone else is interested it is the Airport Motel and it is close by.

The suburb where Portside is, is called Hamilton and if you look at the Hamilton Motor Inn it is within walking distance of the Terminal and they also offer secure parking while you are away. I suggest you ring and find out details.
