10 / 10Outstanding·May 2025
It was a real treat to stay in a classic Queensland house. The interior is impeccable. The collection of old books is fun, too. The outside patio/deck directly off the kitchen is great. Overall, this is a wonderful house for visiting Brisbane. I would stay there again over any hotel.
