General Overview

Welcome to our large, family-friendly 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom home in Wakerley, Brisbane – a perfect launchpad for exploring everything South-East Queensland has to offer. Nestled just 10 minutes from the stunning Wynnum-Manly Bay, you can enjoy a 10km return walk along the scenic oceanfront esplanade, soaking in fresh sea air, views of the bay, and the local weekend markets. For adventure seekers and nature lovers, our location gives you easy access to two of Australia’s most beautiful island destinations: Stradbroke Island (Straddie) – Catch the ferry from Wynnum-Manly and spend the day exploring one of Queensland’s most treasured islands. Experience the breathtaking North Gorge Walk, where you’re likely to spot wallabies, dolphins, turtles, dugongs, and even whales during migration season. The island is known for its wide choice of beaches, sand tobogganing adventures, and a laid-back vibe with beachfront cafes and ice cream shops – perfect for a relaxing family day out. Moreton Island – A world-famous destination just a short boat ride away. Hand-feed wild dolphins in the ocean, go snorkelling around shipwrecks, ride in a glass-bottom boat, or take part in sandboarding, desert safaris, and a range of other thrill-seeking activities. This is a must-do for anyone visiting Brisbane and offers unforgettable wildlife and marine encounters. Also nearby is Coochiemudlo Island, a quiet local gem perfect for fishing and picnics, easily accessed via an affordable ferry ride – now just 50c with Brisbane’s permanent public transport fare cap.

Kelly

We’re a respectful and friendly family of four from sunny Brisbane, Australia. Rocky and I are both working professionals who share a love of travel and new experiences. We have two wonderful kids aged 7 and 5, and we’re excited to explore the world together as a family. As guests, we’re clean, considerate, and will treat your home with the same care and respect we show our own. We believe home exchanges are a beautiful way to experience different cultures and communities, and we’re thrilled to be part of the People Like Us platform. Living in a warm, sunny climate, we especially love the chance to experience the other side – snow-covered landscapes, skiing adventures, European winters, or immersing ourselves in a completely different culture and way of life. We’re looking forward to creating meaningful memories with our children, discovering the world through their eyes, and connecting with other like-minded families along the way.
