If you are unfamiliar with the Wynnum / Manly Bayside area, its a bit of a hidden gem that looks out to the Moreton Bay Islands. It has a host of great restaurants, cafe's and bars coupled with a beautiful esplanade walk between the two hubs.
Its not a hustle and bustle high density place so accomodation is mainly smaller boutique hotels, private appartments and Air BnB's that are all within walking distance of the esplanade, weekend markets, cafe's and harbour.
If you're thinking of coming to both the jam night and recovery session and wish to stay in the bay over the weekend, I've provided some ideas for accomodation options below but feel free to do your own research.
*Note: The Lou Lou Room - Wynnum (The Party) and the Manly Harbour Boat Club (The Recovery) are at either end of the esplanade and it's an easy walk or a 5min Uber ride between the two areas.
The below options are on Booking.com and are within a few minutes walking distance of the Lou Lou Room, If you wish to explore other options in the area then there are many other properties available within 1km of the venue.
The below Manly options are also on Booking.com and are within a few minutes walking distance of the harbour & The Manly Boat Club, An Uber to the Lou Lou room for the Saturday night is approximately $9.
As before there are many options and private rentals in the area if you wish to explore.
