General overview
As a busy family of 4 (plus fur baby) we love our home and community accessibility. We love how close we are to bikeways and walkways to explore parkland, as well as so close to a short bus to hop into the bustling Southbank in Brisbane. We are an expat family (UK) who love all types of travel (camping/beaching/city breaks/nature) here in Queensland, who have spent a lot of our overseas travel time visiting family in the UK and Argentina, but would love to think about some other possibilities.
Our home for us is a perfect family home in terms of space and ability to host friends and family.
The space
Our house is well lived in and homely, with space and amenities. Our living space is open, we are big movie lovers and we love hosting. Our outdoor deck is a perfect place to dine or chill, and then have a dip in the pool. Our bedrooms encompass 1 queen, 1 double, 1 king single, and 1 double sofa bed in our office room/spare room. Our living space is open and homely, we are big movie lovers and we love hosting. Our outdoor deck is a perfect place to dine or chill, and then have a dip in the pool. .
Guest access
We love loving on the hill, though this means a steep driveway with stairs access to front door.
Notes
We are a dog loving family to our beautiful rescues baby corgi/blue heeler cross, who would not be present during the exchange.
We have a downstairs rumpus in construction that would generally be used for our storage purposes whilst exchanging the house, and for bike/SUP storage.

For the playful we are 35 minutes from some amazing theme parks, including Movie World and Wet n Wild. But the best things in life are free, we love southbank, the botanic gardens at Mt Cootha, mount Tamborine hikes, mountain biking at Daisy Hill (next to the free koala sanctuary), taking our SUP to Enoggera Dam, or packing a lunch and day tripping to the Gold Coast or Sunshine Coast.
