It was a home away from home. We stayed 2 nights and were sorry to leave. Very comfortable bed and lounge area. Good sized and well equipped kitchen with washing machine and dryer.. Short walk to local shops and restaurants. Can highly recommend the Thai. Thanks Kelly. Hope to stay again soon.

Geoffrey Australia

Good size, very clean, comfortable, good location.

Cathy Australia

The location was wonderful. Walking distance to a grocery store and some lovely eateries. Quiet, with parklands just down the bottom of the street. The amenities were very clean. I loved sitting outside in the little garden courtyard every morning listening to the birds. Communication was easy and responses were quite fast.

Leonie Australia

The location was perfect for our needs. It was clean & comfortable with everything you need. Plus little home comfort extras.

Terry Australia

This place had absolutely everything the ladies and I needed. From the little back garden where we could have coffee to even a friendly cat who came to hang out with us in the house. Definitely recommend people staying here if you want a nice chill place that is close to everything, the shops, restaurants and it’s all in walking distance. Probably for friends who just want a chill weekend away. Here is a photo of myself and the gorgeous cat.

  • Hi there, Do we have access to both rooms as it will be myself and my son? Also is there a car space available at all times? Many thanks Nikki
    Hi Nikki, Thank you for your email. Yes, as stated in the listing description, the garden retreat includes a queen and double bed. Parking is on street only and being in a quieter suburb there is always parking outside on the street. Regards Kelly

Jacaranda House Garden Retreat is an unstaffed, self-contained, purpose renovated apartment, that offers a true home away from home experience. Modern and stylishly decorated, sleeping up to 3 adults (one queen, one double), featuring a private garden courtyard, bathroom, kitchen, laundry, living and dining areas and a separate private entrance, accessible via contactless self check-in. Located in Brisbane's leafy inner western suburbs, guests enjoy the convenience of being just 10km from the CBD, whilst being enviably positioned to benefit from the surrounding beauty and tranquillity of the extensive parklands of Cubberla Creek Reserve. We are within walking distance of a number of popular cafe's, award winning restaurants and public transport and just 21km from Brisbane's domestic and international airports.
I enjoy time with family, gardening, writing, website design, hiking, skiing and tennis. I take great pride in offering a private, comfortable, clean space for guests to feel at home in.
Our neighbourhood is peaceful, friendly, welcoming and has a true community feel about it. Though only 10km from the CBD, our little neck of the woods is surrounded by the Cubberla Creek Reserve and only 5km from the rural country area of Brookfield... so we're in the city, but far enough away from the noise and chaos. Turn left out of the properties gates and you're just steps away from extensive parklands and walking trails... turn right and you're less than 300m from a number of local cafe's and award winning restaurants. Enjoy easy access to cinemas, museums, shopping centres, art galleries and sporting stadiums. Our property is also very close to the popular Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary, situated along the Brisbane river.
