There are lots of local bars, cafes and restuarants on the waterfront in Cleveland. There are plently of local shops for grocery shopping in both Cleveland and nearby Victoria Point.
You can get the ferry from Cleveland to North Stradbroke Island, which is an incredibly beautiful Island with amazing wildlife and beaches. It's possible to stay on the Island, and is very popular with visitors for the white sand beach, crystal clear water and abundance of animal and marine life. There is a scuba diving business on the Island - highly recommend the diving!

Geraldine & Terry
Hi there! We are Geraldine & Terry, a retired couple, originally from the UK, and now living in sunny Brisbane. Loving life and our post-work freedom to travel and explore. We're interested in longer exchanges particularly, and generally have the freedom to travel at anytime. It will usually be just the two of us, but occasionally may be with my Mum. We'd always check that this would be OK prior to an exchange. We would be very respectful of your home, and ensure everything is well cared for, and leave it neat, clean and tidy,
