Quiet leafy suburb close to Brisbane city centre.
We live in a 6 bedroom house with lots of interesting features like a large deck overlooking palm trees, where you can relax and listen to the tropical birds. English, French and Spanish are the 3 spoken languages at home.
The river is very close and offer some nice walking/ cycling tracks. You can walk to the University of Queensland.
By bus it takes 30 min to reach South Bank in Brisbane where you can go for a swim, enjoy a meal, visit the art centre, go to the movies, etc...
We also have a couple of restaurants down the road as well as a food truck on Fridays and Saturdays.
Bedrooms available for booking

Very friendly hosts who took the time to get to know me and suggest activities of interest in Brisbane. The room was spacious and private and the kitchen/laundry had all the necessities. It was a wonderful home-away-from-home conveniently located close to public transport and shops. I enjoyed the proximity to the river which allowed for lovely walks in nature. The area was quiet and peaceful, while only a short trip into the CBD by car. Many thanks for the hospitality and for welcoming me into your beautiful home.

Nice place to stay in Brisbane, a bit far from the center, there are buses but not very late.
However, they were friendly and flexible, we spent a good time thereMarch 2024
It was the best experience. isabelle and her friendly family took care of us who had just arrived in Australia. By the time we left, it was a shame that we could only stay at her house for a week. The detached room is very spacious and perfectly furnished. There was also a separate kitchen and a large refrigerator for us. Now I've moved to another house, but I've never used furniture as big as an isabelle house by myself. While talking with isabelle's family, the English-speaking environment was also very nice. I love talking to isabelle and her husband! It was only a week ago that we stayed at her house, but she still keeps in touch from time to time. She and her family cherish ties and take care of people with all their heart. If you want to experience being a part of a warm family in Australia, I recommend this homestay.

Nous avons eu un très bon accueil, famille agréable et a l'écoute. A 15 min en voiture du centre de Brisbane, très bien desservie. Je recommande fortement.

I am deeply grateful to Isabell and her family, each of them gave me very beautiful moments that have made my first months in Brisbane very special. I learned a lot from them!
If you are worried about the fact that the bathroom is a little separated from the room, I would encourage you not to give too much importance to it, you get used to it and everything is fine, this room is super spacious, surrounded by nature in a very nice area of Yeronga, simply amazing.
You will also have a kitchen practically to yourself.
Highly recommended! I regret not having booked the room for much longer, I would not hesitate to come back!

The stay was very nice. Isabelle and her family were very nice hosts! Gets a bit chilly on some days in winter, so pack some warm clothes if you’re visiting then!

Not bad. I stayed here only two days, and the elderly Irish guy is very friendly :') All of equipment is useful and very organised. One thing I would say, the house is bit far away from their house, so mostly u don't communicate with host family. However the house was surrounded by natural garden, so definitely you should relax here.
Host reply
The garden view bedroom is separate from the house. It is about 20 meters away the house entrance. Each time the guest goes to the bathroom and toilets in the main part of the house it is possible to communicate with the family.
