The two best bowls clubs in Australia are on Brisbane’s northside.

The Wotif 2020 Uniquely Aussie Awards declared the iconic Merthyr Bowls Club in New Farm to be the best bowlo in the country, with the Chermside Bowls Club named the second best.

Wotif said New Farm's Merthyr Bowls Club had one of Brisbane’s best views.

Wotif Managing Director Daniel Finch said the coronavirus pandemic had allowed people appreciate their local favourites.

“Whether it’s visiting one of Australia’s 150 plus oversized roadside attractions or discovering a local market, the thousands of votes received this year made clear that every Aussie knows a local gem worthy of the spotlight,” he said.

New Farm's Merthyr Bowls Club has been named Australia's best bowls club in the Wotif 2020 Uniquely Aussie Awards.

“With the Australian sense of community at an all-time high, this year Wotif is encouraging Aussies to fuel this pride by taking the time to discover and support as many local businesses as possible on their next Aussie adventure.”

The awards also named the Sandstone Point Holiday Resort as one of the nation’s best holiday parks.
