My stay here was peaceful. I didn't have any trouble staying here as I am a neat and tidy person and the host Mary Ann is spic-n-span with her home. Host is lovely, outgoing and friendly. I would definitely pick her homestay again! Thank you Mary Ann!

Thank you Sue for providing us with whatever made our homestay comfortable and relaxing . Your hospitality made our visit memorable, and we greatly appreciated how you made us feel at ease. We loved your fur babies and it was a pleasure meeting your mum. We recommend your home for everyone looking for a place to relax.
Best regard,

It was a quick booking but Lori took me in. I've never had so much fun for a long time. Lori is full of life, loving and genuinely cares for people. She's great to live with and the fur babies are just the best. Made a friend. Thankyou Lori ..much love x

Sue’s place was a great place for myself and my best friend to stay after moving to Brissy from NZ. We imported our 2 dogs and Sue was a kind host and allowed them to stay as well! Comfy bed and close to local transport :)

I was only intending to stay for 4 nights but ended up staying 6 weeks. Kelly and Joe are beautiful people, so welcoming and generous in everything they show and offer. Had many great laughs with them, I had been going through a bit of a rough patch in life, but they certainly picked me up. The house is beautiful also. It was a shame to leave but it was time to find something more permanent. I've definitely made some new friends. Highly recommended but be quick, when word gets around, it will be difficult to get in!!

I’m so grateful for my stay with Elizabeth and her family. They have two wonderful daughters and two very cute cats. The whole family is very friendly and I could always ask for help when I had some struggles with something. I would definitely go back :)

ottimo posto per fare le belle camminate e l'ospite molto gentile e disponibile tutto il tempo, la Christine la padrona di casa ha un grande cuore e sempre molto gentile e mi ha preso e poi portata indietro con la macchina e ha sempre riempito la buona frutta e la colazione per tutti gli ospiti. Quindi si raccommando a tutti. Mille grazie a Christine e i suoi cani e gatto per il gentile soggiorno.

I really enjoyed homestaying here. The house is specious and has everything you need. Sue took me to market, dancing and invited me to home party with her family. I was happy to have such wonderful experiences. Sue and her family are all kind and helped me a lot during my stay. She made my first days in Australia so precious and unforgettable.Thank you ;) I highly recommend this place to anyone interested in homestaying in Brisbane.

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.

Staying at Mary Ann's place was such a delight. This was my first homestay in Australia, and it could have not been better. Mary Ann helped me a lot with everything I had to organize after my arrival and put a lot of effort making my stay and my start in Australia as comfortable and smooth as possible. We spent also some free time together, like going to beach or shopping malls. It was wonderful to stay there, I felt very privileged to get to know Mary Ann. A strong recommendation!

I cannot thank you enough for the support you have given me.
Even when my English was immature and I couldn't convey my words properly, you never showed any displeasure and kindly cooperated with me.
Additionally,being invited to important family events like Christmas parties and being welcomed as a member of the family is a memory I will cherish for a lifetime.

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!

Both the host and flatmates were very kind and comfortable. Also, the two cats of the host were very friendly and welcomed me.
It takes about 1 hour by bus from CBD, but it was easy because there was no need to transfer.
I needed to cook by myself, but I was grateful because I was allowed to use a lot of cooking tools.
Thank you so much!

What a lovely Australian homestay at Sue's place. Surrounded by nature, yet close to the city and the oceanside. Celebrating grandma's (Sue's mom) birthday and having dinners with Sue's children made me feel part of the family. Sue was always supportive and actively helping out to get everything set for living & working in Australia. I loved going together to line dance class and her job at the jazz bar. Grateful for the stay and all the talks.
I would highly recommend Sue and grandma's place to any person. Hope to come back soon and stay in touch.
