Clean tidy well maintained laundry mat I would definitely recommend if you are in need of a laundry room.

After reading Twistie1's review of the Redland Bay laundromat I headed on down to wash my big QB mattress topper. Very happy with the super large washer. It cost $10 for a 35 minute wash cycle.

Laundromats are one of those businesses that you don't frequently contemplate until your washing machine unceremoniously carks it or you're away on holiday. Moreover, they're notoriously difficult to track down online for the very reason that they're ordinarily coin operated. Without a shop attendant there's no need for a telephone number and hence no White or Yellow Pages web presence. Alas, should you find yourself with a basket of dirty washing at Redland Bay you'll now know where help is at hand.

Redland Bay Laundromat is tucked away in the Redland Bay Shopping Village just down from Uncle Bob's Bakery on Stradbroke Street. The facility has 7 Maytag washing machines which are coin operated at $5.00 per wash. These top loading machines have a 30 minute cycle time. There is also a large double load machine suitable for Queen and King size blankets, doonas and quilts which costs $8.00 per wash. This is handy even for those with washing machines, particularly small ones. They also have 4 dryers which are charged in increments of $2.00 for each 10 minutes. I can't imagine that you'd get much drying done in 10 minutes.

Redland Bay Laundromat has a large bench in the middle of the facility for sorting of clothes and 4 seats for waiting customers. Strict instructions adorn the walls including such directions as not washing items with dirt or animal hair on them. I don't know if that says more about the residents of Redland Bay or the officiousness of the Laundromat's owners. It couldn't help but make me remember with a laugh the somewhat bizarre caravan park in Wanganui, NZ that I once stayed at for the night. Run by a German, the list of "dos" and "don'ts" was so extensive as to make your tremble with fear at the consequences of a breach :)
