The breakfast was excellent. Well cooked and plentiful
AustraliaVery amenable hosts. Nice location. Walk to ferry and just around the corner from a good selection of dining choices Excellent breakfasts Hosts allowed me to murder some tunes on their Steinway (learned to play by ear so not used to using my fingers)
AustraliaThis was exactly what I needed. Peace and quiet whilst completing studies and a training course. Whilst I didn't get to enjoy the gardens they are gorgeous. The house and rooms are impeccable. Whilst my stay was purely for work and study I didn’t have a lot of interaction with the hosts, however what I did have was helpful and polite. They knew I was there for work and clearly respected that, however I suspect if you wanted a chat they’d be more than happy too. Throughout my stay - 10 days they were always checking in to see if I needed a top up on tea bags and towels etc (which after such long days was so nice to come home and not have to think about those things) You won’t be disappointed if you stay here
AustraliaBeautiful Queenslander home. Peter and Eva are the very friendly owners who made us feel very welcome in their home. Clean, tidy, comfortable room with lovely ensuite. The breakfast was exceptional - fresh tasty and delicious! Close to great coffeeshop, gourmet supermarket, restaurants and cinemas. Ten minute easy walk to Citycat ferry service.
AustraliaPeter Met us and welcomed us to his 'home'. Lovely decor, interesting trinkets, welcoming host and great location (for us). Unfortunately we missed out on having breakfast at #12, WE and host (Peter) where disappointed by this, but we'll come back to check it out!
AustraliaThe hosts were wonderful and looked after us exceptionally.
AustraliaThe hosts were awesome. Breakfast fit for a King. Bed so comfy. 5 min walk to ferry service. Not far from airport. Very homely, welcoming and sophisticated . Faultless. Definitely will use them everytime we're in Brisbane.
AustraliaBreakfast was excellent. Peter and Eva were very welcoming and helpful in every aspect.
AustraliaSo good to have breakfast served - and very nicely done indeed!
AustraliaThe ambiance of the house is very zen and hard to find anywhere else. Peter and Eva were such lovely hosts and did their utmost to make us feel at home. Must be the best place to stay in Brisbane.
