Hospitality Description: Need somewhere to stay in Brisbane? Then drop us a line. We have a spare room that's all yours. Both Colin and Rose work during the week and Harlan is only out at daycare for 3 days, so showing you around on a Monday to Friday isn't so easy. But if you're about on the weekend then we can certainly help out. We always have a family meal in the evening, which you're welcome to join us for, or grab whatever you fancy from the supermarket and use our kitchen.

Neighbourhood

You’ll find our house nestled in a warren of homes, in a safe residential area made up mainly of families. Across the road is a large green space that’s home to three play areas for the little ones, a 1-on-1 basket ball court for the older ones, and a peaceful creek and rainforest boardwalk for those of an age to appreciate the quieter moments in life. We’re also close to a nature reserve where you’ll find a handful of trails through bushland, along with the reserve education centre which regularly runs events and walks for all ages. They also have an epic nature-inspired playground and senses trail. What else does Chermside have to offer? • Outdoor public BBQs in several nearby parks. • A massive Westfields shopping centre, full of restaurants, cinemas, shops, an arcade and bowling. • Great cafes, local grocery store and take out restaurants. Catch the bus (for 50c) and you'll be in the city in 20 minutes. Hit the shops in Queen Street Mall, explore the gorgeous Roma Street Park landscape, City Botanics, or stroll along the South Bank and Cultral Centre. Brisbane is also home to Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary, The Gabba sportsground (cricket and AFL), and Suncorp Stadium (NRL, rugby union and big music concerts.) Ah biscuits! And I almost forgot – we’re a 20-minute drive or taxi to Bluey World. If you have a car, you’ll also be able to get yourself to: • Australia Zoo (Steve Irwin's place) - 45 minute drive. • The Sunshine Coast (for stunning beaches) - 60 minute drive. • The Gold Coast (more amazing beaches and Surfer's Paradise) - 60-90 minute drive. There’s heaps more I could write about. Like your proximity to whale watching, hikes into the Queensland hinterland, heading up to Mt Coot-tha on the night of a full moon with a picnic… But we’d be here forever. If you’re uhhming and ahhing about Brisbane as a destination, drop me a line with the type of trip you hav in mind and I can tell you if Brisbane delivers. (Most of the time it will.)

Nearest airport

Brisbane Airport has domestic and international terminals. We're a 20-25 minute drive away. If getting a cab, it's not necessary to take the toll roads to get to ours. (And we suggest mentioning this to the cabbie.)

Getting Around

There’s a lot to enjoy in our area that’s within walking distance. For example, it’s only a 15-minute walk to get down to Westfield. A 10-minute walk through the park will get you to a lovely local café, and a 10-minute walk through the houses will get you to a small shopping precinct with metro supermarket, a local butcher and fruit and veg store, post office and some take away restaurants. (Curry, Thai, pizza, sushi, chicken.) While we love the buses for city trips, seeing all that Brisbane has to offer will take more than bus routes. It’s also worth checking out the trains or driving.

Rose

Hiya, we are Rose, Colin and Harlan. A happy, adventurous family of three, ranging in age from 4 to mid-40s. Colin is Australian and Rose is English. He works in cyber security and she is a copywriter. (It's sometimes easier just to say marketing.) Before having a little one, we did a lot of travelling - around the UK, parts of Europe, across the Americas and back here in Australia. Since starting family life, we've kept our holidays mostly domestic (in Australia) but had the privilege of taking the kid to the UK when he was 2. With school years approaching, we're hoping to do a mega trip to the UK before that kicks in. To show Harlan some more of the world, but also to be close to Rose's family during our extended holiday. We’re yet to build up reviews and kudos on PLU, but the three of us are seasoned Airbnb-ers. Hosts have described us as “lovely house guests” who “respected house rules, leaving [the property] clean and tidy.” We’re also “easy to host” and “friendly and courteous.”
