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.

The room is spacious and comfortable. There is plenty of breakfast food and other foods available in the house for anyone one who stays there to have at anytime. Clint and Maureen are very kind and gentle people, always offering to help. They will provide you with special meals if you have a dietary requirements. Other guests in the house are also very nice people. I highly recommend this family. It was a pleasant stay for me.
