Your Local Guide To Kelvin Grove

Visit Kelvin Grove website (trading as Jewels Urban Escapes) is a local, family-owned, guide to Kelvin Grove, an inner city suburb in Brisbane, Australia. Our site also covers accommodation, restaurants, things to see and do near Kelvin Grove, day trips, and activities. We know here because we live here, right in the heart of Kelvin Grove, and have since 2020!

We keep this site up-to-date with local news and events, as we’re based in Kelvin Grove too!

I am Janine Mergler and I have lived in Kelvin Grove since 2020 and in Brisbane since 1981. I am passionate about sharing up to date information and insider tips to my readers.

I am a Queensland teacher, graduating from QUT (Kelvin Grove) with a B.Ed majoring in History and Social Sciences in 1994. After many years in the classroom, I moved on to academia and have proudly trained new generations of teachers in my role as a lecturer at Queensland University of Technology Faculty of Education. For 12 years I owned Families Magazine – Brisbane, a publication specifically targeted at parents who value quality time and experiences with their children. I currently own Get Out with Kids where we show you the best things to do with kids across Australia based on our real life experiences – all vetted and written by us!

Additionally, I welcome guests to my apartments in Kelvin Grove and enjoy helping them have the best time in the local area and Brisbane.
