Local Spots to Eat/Drink

There are so many nice restaurants and cafes to choose from, however there’s something about having a nice breakfast and lunch in a cozy cottage. That’s exactly what The Cottage Restaurant offers its customers, with people eating and enjoying their meals in a heritage Queenslander cottage. If you’re a fan of the fine dining experience, this will surely be one to remember. If you’re wanting something a little more casual, the Pumpyard Bar is one such place to go. The building in which this pub is housed has been Ipswich’s first source of water, a technical college and now a brewery for some of the city’s best beer. Their menu is nothing to sneer at either, with juicy burgers, beer battered chips and buffalo wings that are a favourite of everyone who isn’t afraid to dig into their hearty meals and get their hands dirty.

Why Ipswich?

The city is quite large, with much of the area urbanised. There are plenty of residential properties that have large garage spaces ideal for storage. There are also some more open spaces if you wanted to store your larger vehicles, such as boats and caravans, away for the season and break them out again when you want to take them out to check on the motors and engines.

Getting to and from Ipswich

The Warrego Highway is the main way from which multiple roads dissect from and into Ipswich. Robertson Road leads into Ipswich, along with Pine Street and East Street, which goes straight through the suburb. There are other more minor roads that you can take, however they still stem from those main roads, so if you run into some traffic, it might be a good idea to take a different route, especially during peak hour periods.
