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 and a gazebo 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.

    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.

    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.

    Isabelle and her family are lovely! I felt so welcomed by them and the place itself is very clean and spacious. It’s in a quiet neighborhood but not too far from anything. I definitely recommend staying here if you’re in the Brisbane area :)

    Isabelle and her family were very welcoming and open. The room is right next to the house, which gives you a view from your bed directly onto the jungle-like garden. I enjoyed my stay a lot :)

How do I book?

Contact the host to check their availability and ask them any questions you have about staying with them. Once the host confirms they’re available for your dates, you can complete your booking.

When do I pay?

Once a host confirms they're available, you can go ahead and pay the 15% booking fee (maximum of 250 $£€ for longer term bookings) using a choice of payment methods: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Maestro, Laser, JCB & PayPal (not available in certain countries). You then pay your host on arrival or as stated by your host on their profile and agreed by you on booking. Please be cautious if a host requests advance payment if its not included on their profile. Our hosts have been advised that if they wish to request advance payment they must make this explicit in their profile. We do not recommend the use of Money gram or Western Union.

When can I share my contact details?

Host and Guest email address, phone number and home address will be exchanged in a confirmation email sent to both immediately after a booking is completed. It's against our policy for Guests and Hosts to exchange direct contact details via our messaging system.
