Reviews of Bethania, QLD

"Quite Neighbourhood close to Brisbane River"

I am a Real Estate Agent and I have chosen to work in Bethania.
This suburb is affordable and still only 35 minutes to Brisbane CBD or 50 Minutes to the Gold Coast. Situated in Logan City Council you will find a lot of off the leash parks for your furry friends, local shops are only 5 minutes down the road, Hyperdome is 20 minutes drive away which at the moment having a very nice face life internally. The river wraps around the suburb making the homes fluctuate in price, so the demographic of people that live their range from retirees to young families. Public transport is at your finger tips with buses and train stops only 5 minutes away in most direction. Quite and safe place for either a home owner or renter.

"Bethania is not on the Gold Coast!"

Bethania is part of Logan and does not belong in this section. It should be part of Logan reviews according to the council map. http://www.logan.qld.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0009/8847/Logan_Map_Updated_May_2012.pdf

"A Great Place To Live"

I've lived here for over 3 years, and love it. It's a nice quite suburb, that is close enough to access the city and major shopping, but also just a drive in the opposite direction for some great country scenery. Public transport is well served via buses and the train station.

There's a couple of local parks, though it would be good to see the local council install exercise equipment like they have in other suburbs.

It's well serviced by 2 small local shopping centres, as well as Coles @ Waterford, and the new Woolworths @ Holmview.

The only downside that I have found was when I tried to get a broadband internet connection, and was told that there were no available ports at the local (Waterford) exchange. This meant that I had to go with mobile broadband, or dialup. Unfortunately, the coverage for mobile broadband can be pretty hit or miss. I am with Vodafone, and was told that there shouldn't be any problems, but my speeds were slower than dialup. I don't know about Telstra as I'm not a fan of theirs, but no other internet provider was able to provide coverage either. I basically had to go and buy a dialup modem to use until a port freed up at the local exchange (5 months). ...... It should be noted, that this is a problem for all new connections in the Waterford exchange area

Great for

  • Peaceful
  • Great local Pharmacy

Not great for

  • Limited ports available at the Waterford Telephone Exchange, so you will likely have difficulty in even getting ADSL1 Broadband

Hi..I've just finished reading your comment here on Bethania, and wondering if you knew whether the ADSL Situation has improved ...? we're thinking of renting in the area, and need decent internet..we are currently living at Buccan, which according to this site http://www.broadbanddeals.com.au/qld/logan-village/ before we moved here , we were able to get ADSL and within the area..So we had to get Satellite which is costing us a fortune :( because we weren't close enough to the Logan exchange..some information from a local like yourself would be invaluable, and how are the net speeds there in Bethania...? this is very important as I home school my son who's doing his senior this year and most subjects are internet course based..Thanks for your help..JD

"Close to the river and train station."

This suburb is quiet. Other reviews hit the nail on the head. The suburb is affordable ; have a look at the way the logan river meanders around the suburb and see the value of properties rise and fall along the way. There are still some bargains here I think.

"Nice Quiet place to live"

We have lived in Bethania for 12 months and it is a nice little suburb. We have had no issues with noise and the train station is a 10 minute walk away! If you need to do some shopping the Coles is 5 minutes down the road in Waterford, or the Hyperdome 20 minutes away.
Logan City Council has just finished an off the leash park in the area and there are a few parks around.

"Bethania - a growing suburb that is just about to take off!"

We have been there for almost 3 years now - there is nothing better than waking up to the birds and then sitting out on the deck to enjoy a coffee while watching the wakeboarders go past in the river! I can see a real change starting, I think the area will boom in the next year!
