Beautiful, relaxed and comfortable house. This private family house is two stories with one room available downstairs. The room is fully furnished with a study desk, chair, bed, a large wardrobe, and wifi.
Downstairs is furnished with TV, lounge, washing machine, small dining table and a large bathroom. You will share the bathroom with two others but you can have your own sink with cabinet and drawers. Upstairs, you will also have access to a fully equipped kitchen, a living room, TV and large balcony.
The house is a 5 minute walk to the bus stop, which will take you to the City, UQ, Indooroopilly interchange terminal and train station, and QUT (432, 444, 435 bus lines). It is also a 5 minute walk to Coles supermarket, bank, library, doctors, post office, etc. Indooroopilly shopping centre is 10 minutes away by bus.
We are a friendly family and we’re happy to give you a tour around Brisbane. Our family consists of two parents (my mother and father) and five siblings (including myself). However, my elder sister and I have moved out. The eldest brother is a university student and has a casual job, and my youngest sister is starting university this year. My youngest brother has just started high school. We are a fun, clean and friendly family who will treat you as our family and can give you a traditional Australian plus Sri Lankan experience as well. My family, especially my siblings speak perfect English, so we are happy to help you with your speech and writing. We can also pick you up from the airport, just let us know :).
Whilst we welcome everyone, we would love to host Japanese or Chinese students due to our recent travels to China and Japan and falling in love with the culture and its people :)
