I really enjoyed my stay with Maureen and her family. Maureen was very kind and made my stay very comfortable. Public bus close by to get to the city.

When choosing a homestay, the synergy between host and travelers is important for a relaxing stay. To that end, Maureen and her family always went above and beyond to make our stay as comfortable as possible. One of the many examples of this is when knowing that my partner had to resigned from her job due to long distance travelling, Maureen generously found her a new position in mere weeks just by asking around! My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Maureen’s and would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone.

My stay in Maureen's and Clints house was just perfect. They are so kind and helpful, that I could have stayed alot longer. I always felt welcome and would go back - and probably will go back.
Thank you very much for everything and hopefully see you again. DominicFebruary 2020
This guest awarded the host 5 hearts but didn’t leave any comments.

This is a home filled with love and caring. Nothing was any trouble for Maureen and her 2 lovely sons.

Maureen and Clint were absolutely wonderful. They made us really welcome and we met quite a few of their lovely family members who live nearby. We had a large double room with a very comfy queen bed and lots of space for our belongings. It was a treat to have home cooked meals nearly every night and we had a great choice for breakfast including really fresh eggs. We could also make sandwiches for lunch if we needed them. They are such a generous couple and we enjoyed our evening chats. Maureen also took us back to the airport, quite early on a Saturday morning too. We hope to stay with you again sometime and we would thoroughly recommend these hosts to anyone who needs to stay in Brisbane. Thanks for everything. Carmen & Steve.
