It’s spacious and great breeze thru the house. Pet friendly. Great location. The shower is great as it keeps its temperature. The pooches were relaxed. Lovely alfresco dining.
Our Hostess was extremely welcoming and accomodating to us in our hour of need! The cottage is extremely beautiful, tastefully decorated, and so conveniently located. We would love to stay here for a longer staycation in the future! Five stars, no notes.

Many thanks for your lovely review. Look forward to hosting you again in the future.
Very clean, air conditioned, good parking, close to Toowong village shopping centre, and affordable. Had a little trouble with after hours check in but everything worked out. Overall very good accommodation. Do note that the single bathroom is a little small which can be inconvenient.
Great place to stay. Just a lovely feel and very clean and welcoming. Only comment would be there is some road noise - might not be ideal for light sleepers

Thank you for your beautiful review - it was lovely to have you stay.
We loved our stay! Super close to QU (we were on a college tour) and shopping amenities nearby. This place is so special, its a traditional quaint Queenslander very tastefully decorated. 3 perfect bedrooms, renovated kitchen with everything you could need. Wonderful patio! Responsive host, easy access directions. Of our whole 3 week trip, this was by far our favorite place. Loved it!

Thank you for your lovely review, we are very glad you enjoyed your stay and look forward to hosting you again.
We had a great stay at this clean and quiet spot! Lots of living space, the beds were comfortable, and the location suited our needs. The single bathroom was a little smaller than expected for the four of us but we made it work!

Thank you for this lovely review and glad you enjoyed your stay.
We enjoyed our stay in this very comfortable home away from home. The property manager was very obliging and helpful with the one problem and only problem encountered, which was with the WiFi connection.
We can highly recommend this property for a very comfortable stay.
A great stay, in a family friendly home, in a brilliant location. We had a very late arrival and found Caroline’s self check in instructions spot on. The house was well equipped and absolutely made our stay which was for a family wedding. Will definitely stay again.

Thank you for this beautiful review and glad everything went well for you. We look forward to hosting you again soon.
The property was very clean and clearly well cared for. Perfect central location as described. The table tennis was a hit with the kids and being able to have the dogs with us in such a spot was a real bonus. Our host was responsive and kind enough to allow an extension plus late check-out.
We had an Amazing stay. We held a retreat with a group of women. The space was perfect. Rooms were all beautiful and there was such lovely light during the day. It was immaculately clean, warm and cosy. Thanks so much. We will be back again.

Our absolute pleasure, so glad you enjoyed your time with us and we hope to host you again sometime soon.
We stayed for 5 nights with our family of 5. During that time we had a bbq at the house with 2 other families and the place was perfect. Different living spaces meant the adults could chat while the kids played table tennis down stairs or games in the second living area.
We were close to everything, groceries, transport and eating out.
Caroline the host was very responsive and helpful.
It was the perfect base for our trip and we would stay again.

beautiful property
We really loved this gorgeous Queenslander, which has been very well renovated whilst still retaining many of the lovely original features. It is immaculately clean, with generous and comfortable living spaces, ample lounge seating (thank you! - this is something often lacking in "holiday" accommodation") and is very well located, close to all amenities. Beds were fabulous - again, thank you! We weren't here long enough to really settle in and enjoy it, but appreciated all the thought and care which had gone into providing everything one could wish for. We will definitely be back.

Thank you Nicky for such a lovely review. I`m so pleased you enjoyed your stay in our cottage - we have wonderful cleaners who in most cases we have known for many years and they take such pride in their work. Our beds are definitely a feature as this, as you know, is essential for a comfortable stay away from home. It is great to know we are meeting the needs and requirements of our guests. We look forward to having you stay again - safe travels - Caroline
This property was well situated for the purposes of our trip. It had great access to the train and buses and was within walking distance to the river and shopping center. The kitchen had everything we needed. There were 6 of us staying in the house so having the toilet and the shower in one bathroom was a minor challenge but not insurmountable. Great to have an iron, washing machine, and hairdyer. Aircon and fans super helpful in January heat in BNE.

Short stay to catch up with friends
The property looks much nicer in photos than it actually is. It is clean and the kitchen and laundry are quite good. For everyday crockery and cutlery there is not a lot so you either have to wash dishes by hand or run a half empty dishwasher. There are lots of extra plates and glasses up in high cupboards but these are all matched very individual sets so we preferred not to use them as it would be impossible to replace anything if there were breakages. There is just one bathroom and its smaller than most ensuites and needs updating. There is nowhere to put anything down, just a sink and the shower is really small but water pressure good. Fortunately, there were just the 2 of us to use it as its not adequate for the 6-8 guests that could be accommodated. We only used the master bedroom, and the bed was ok, not great, and the pillows were old and flat and very uncomfortable. We both had sore necks after just one night. Other beds are all singles. These bedrooms are in a covered verandah area and flooring has gaps so not mozzie proof. Most of the furnishings are old and shabby. Verandah and outdoor furnishings nice but it's overlooking a very busy intersection and railway is close by, so it is very noisy. There is parking for 4 cars but it's difficult to get on and off the parking space as the road is narrow and a way street and parking pad raised so you need to be careful of car undercarriage. The surrounding gardens are unkept and very scruffy. Overall disappointing.
Caroline was a wonderful host. Great communication. The home was everything we needed and more. Easy access to public transport. We definitely felt at home. Would stay again for sure.
Fantastic find this beautiful pet friendly cottage in Toowong. So close to everything. Suited our needs. Four adults stayed. Quiet inside despite the busy roads nearby. Caroline is very accessible & easy to deal with. House is exactly as photos. Will definitely stay again as it’s 12mins from my brothers home in Ashgrove. My elderly parents loved it too & the dogs enjoyed watching the world go by from the deck.
We had a few small business meetings that we wanted a quiet spot for. This proved a perfect balance of somewhere to stay and organise this. Really lovely house and great area. I got what others had mentioned about the garden as you need to open a gate for pets to access, but we have a large well trained pup so not a real problem. We will be booking again :)
Light and airy, this home is located in a quiet street only 5 mins walk the Toowong shopping precinct.
A charming cottage that is easy to live in. With two tv rooms the whole family can be happy. Foxtel, YouTube and more are provided to entertain everyone.
This is an absolutely great location. Convenient to Brisbane, and a good base the explore SE Qld.
