Nice rooms (kitchen, bathroom, 2 bedrooms), great location, clean, quiet, peaceful, easy to park and enter, contactless stay, good communication
AustraliaHad some difficulty opening lock box, but host arrived to help us.
AustraliaThe 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.
AustraliaThe location was perfect for our needs. It was clean & comfortable with everything you need. Plus little home comfort extras.
AustraliaThis 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.
AustraliaThe property was very clean & tidy. Excellent location to shops & Brisbane CBD.
AustraliaThere was no breakfast. Their cat came into my room and stayed the night. Showered me with love. Best welcome, loved it.
AustraliaIts very spacious, spotlessly clean and the decor is beautiful.
AustraliaSpacious, clean and well equipped accommodation. The property is in a residential position but convenient for Brisbane and the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary, which is well worth a visit, is a short drive away. Shops, restaurants, a park and a pub are all in walking distance. Kelly was very friendly and greeted us when we arrived, but allowed us privacy during our stay, whilst we knew she was available should this be required. I would have no hesitation in recommending Jacaranda House to anyone wanting a comfortable home stay when visiting the Brisbane area.

Jacaranda House Garden Retreat is a stylish boutique property, offering a private self-contained accommodation. 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. The GARDEN RETREAT features its own private entrance with contactless self check-in. This fully self-contained apartment, incorporates open plan living and dining room with queen bed, separate bedroom with double bed (sleeps 1), separate bathroom, kitchen, laundry and a private garden courtyard with outdoor dining setting. We offer flexible rate categories, allowing guests to choose a ROOM ONLY or ROOM + BREAKFAST rate. All breakfast provisions are self-serve/prepare and will be in your room on arrival. This is unstaffed accommodation, affording guests their space and privacy.
I enjoy gardening, writing, skiing and tennis. I've traveled extensively throughout New Zealand's south island, Thailand and through many parts of Queensland and New South Wales and certainly know what qualities I appreciate in accommodation and service and in turn wish to share those same qualities, through offering my home as guest accommodation.
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 your in-room breakfast (if included in your rate plan), but if time permits, be sure to take a walk to my favourite local cafe "Dennis's Espressivo" for a coffee and enjoy the morning newspapers. Enjoy easy access to cinemas, museums, shopping centres, art galleries and sporting stadiums. Our property is very close to the popular Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary, situated along the Brisbane river.
