Cat and Ray made me and my friends feel really welcomed. They helped us with every question we had. The room is confortable and the house is beautiful. Thank you for everything!

I'm giving my highest recommendation for this listing. The pictures describe the room and house perfectly. The room was literally as it was in the picture. It was a lovely house in a beautiful residential area. Even though the area was a bit far from the city, Ray was willing to give us a free ride to (or to fetch us from) the nearest bus stop when he was available. The house was very neat, clean, and comfortable. Ray and Cat were very warm and accommodating, they respect our personal space, yet being really helpful when we need them. The tips and recommendations about the tourist attractions given by Cat were very helpful and Ray even gave us a free ride to Mt. Coot-tha during our way back to the airport! Thank you very much Ray and Cat for being such a nice host. My sister and I definitely enjoy our time being your guest and we hope to see you again in the future.

Cat and Ray's place is a tranquil haven where we refreshed our bodies and souls. Ray and Cat's delightful company and helpfulness with meeting all of our needs means that we would recommend their air BnB to anyone looking for a place to relax.

Great value and super nice hosts.

Cat and Ray are really nice persons. Their place is lovely and the room is very comfortable. We enjoyed our short stay in Brisbane. We definitely recommend them for your stay.

nice welcome on arrival. description on website correct. recommended

Cat allowed me to book a room in her beautiful home for my son at the last moment. The location was perfect for him, and he thoroughly enjoyed his chats with Cats husband Ray. Cats lovely home had everything that he needed.

Thank you Cat and Ray for welcoming us into your home with open arms. The boys enjoyed their stay and their late night chats with Ray. Even though they didn't spend much time at the house, after a long and tiring day they were happy to get home and just relax in a peaceful and very clean house. Thank you for helping us surprise my husband and for helping bring my little ones into the house. We look forward to staying at your place again! Wonderful couple with a beautiful home. All the best :)

Susan and Darren made us extremely welcome, and made it very easy to arrive at a time that suited us. The beautiful chocolate in the fridge and complimentary milk, coffee etc were most welcome. Toiletries were of a very high standard.Susan has obviously taken great care and paid attention to the little details that make a stay very enjoyable. The ambiance of the accommodation was very pleasing - high standard of furnishings, comfortable and the setting quiet and tranquil. The total privacy is a big plus! It is excellent value for money. Thank you for a most enjoyable stay - we will be back!

Great place

The host canceled this reservation 22 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

We checked in quite late and Susan popped over to introduce herself and welcome us. The room and bathroom was immaculate and well stocked. It was only a short drive to shops and amenities in Bellbowrie. I would stay here again. Thank you for having us.

Susan is the great host of this great little peaceful hideyhole ! I stayed with these guys for 6 weeks in total . The studio is well maintained , awesome decor , very clean . She is very approachable with any requests and great for a chat ... the grounds are awesome especially for the local wildlife . Well priced for what you get .. it's like your own miniature hotel - thanks again .

Thanks so much for this gorgeous place and great hosts,James+Lauren+Elise,plus with the friendly Remy + the horse+the two cats,as well as the peaceful garden+trees+fresh air,not mention to the convenient facilities and wonderful afternoon tea! All of these make us stay like just at home! Everything here proves as, even much more than what you expected.

I stayed at James' places for 3 nights and really loved it. I felt like on a small farm surrounded by a lot of space with trees and greens. James and Lauren are very friendly and welcoming persons. They made my stay as homy as possible. I had a very clean and comfortable bedroom and my own brand new bathroom, and toilet. The kitchen and living area provides everything to feel at home and I enjoyed especially the big balcony with the comfy couch and view to the horse paddock. They also have a bigger pool in the garden. James and Lauren have 2 lovely cats, a even more lovely dog, a horse, Gouldian finches and many wild birds around the house. I think it is James' and Lauren's great hospitality and the feeling of living in quiet and peaceful semi-rural environment that makes this place a "highly recommended"!

We stayed with James for a week in their lovely place in Anstead recently. James made sure we arrived safely, ensured we felt really at home in their lovely place and provided everything we needed for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. Early breakfasts were a highlight on the outside deck – delicious food in the company of parrots, butcher birds and cockatoos! My young daughter was particularly delighted when our hosts brought out many toy horses complete with a stable for her to play with! I would recommend anyone who wants to see a lovely piece of proper Queensland to stay with James, and I hope I can do so as well on my next trip.

We were planning to spend one night in Brisbane but ended up staying for three - the city was fascinating and our hosts, James and Lauren, more so. They provided us with a home away from home and delighted us with their warmth. We found ourselves looking forward to going back home each evening, we felt we were in the company of close friends. You will get a very pretty room and your own bathroom in their beautiful house and can enjoy your tea on the porch surrounded by trees in absolute peace. We were their first airbnb guests and left with wonderful memories. Very, very highly recommended.

We stayed with Lauren and James for four nights and had a great time. You don't even have to leave the property to explore the culture of Japan, listen to Jazz classics, have some great chats about very interesting topics, enjoy a glass of wine, get an introduction to the local architecture, see the Australian wildlife, enjoy a healthy breakfast, relax by the pool and pet the most lovely dog. In case you still want to leave now, there is so much more to explore that we are already planning to come back.

They made me feel like family, so welcoming and friendly and helpfull when ever needed and Lauren gave me a wonderful walk around their lush tropical garden discribing all the flowers!... from offering to pick me up from and to the bus stop or a lift to get groceries and even to catch a spider in my room... it is the tropics! ;)) loved every minate! 3

We had a great stay at Jim and Lauren's place. They are amazing hosts, and we would definitely stay with them again. The house is spacious, comfortable and well appointed. Everything you may need for short or long stay. We loved the location in a quiet neighborhood, surrounded by animals, and nature. Perfect for relaxing stay, but close enough to local shops, and Brisbane. Thank you both for amazing time and wonderful memories. We miss Remy and cats already :)

As a host, Jim made us feel really welcome and even offered to pick us up at the airport if we needed it. After meeting Jim's family, it felt like we had been friends forever. I'm quite hoping we might meet again. Jim is an architect and his house and gardens were really fascinating. They spent a lot of time cultivating a semi-tropical environment around the house and pool in what seemed to be a cordial invitation to many varieties of birds and parrots. It was a lovely experience seeing all of the birds feeding and Jim regaled us with his knowledge of the ornithology of Australia. We felt right at home in their house and cooked our own breakfast and an occasional dinner too. The double bed was warm and cozy and there was a private entrance off the driveway also surrounded by lovely lush gardens. Australian hospitality is very relaxed and happy. It felt as if our needs were attended to and being so far from home (U.S.), this made us feel right home. Jim was also great at giving any directions that we needed. So if you're planning a trip, Bunyas is a great place to stay as it is only a 1/2 hour from Brisbane and about 20 minutes from Ipswich across a very charming 3 minute barge!

Lovely hosts and perfect location for visiting family in the surrounding area. The fruit basket and small details were appreciated. Would stay again.

We had a wonderful stay at John's place. The space was very well appointed. The bushland setting was delightful. The pool was well maintained and refreshing. The location suited our needs with shops and restaurants close by. We were sad to leave this little gem. We can not thank John and Jennie enough for their warm welcome and flexiblility in storing our van and allowing us to stay extra nights at very short notice.

This accommodation was perfect for our needs in the western suburbs of Brisbane, and is extremely good value for money. John is a friendly and obliging host.

Perfect location! The kitchen has everything you need. We really enjoyed the spa and the quiet area. Very friendly and flexible hosts! Many thanks! Rahel

very nice

Our aim was to secure comfortable and reasonable accomodation in Brisbane for 6 people. After lot of searching, we were successful in zeroing on Annette's and Ron's place. Its was a great experience staying in quiet suburb of Pullenvale. All the rooms were decorated and maintained with great care to make guest feel at home. Modern facilities, spa in natural surroundings and kindness of host exceeded the amenities that are generally provided by commercial establishments. We will certainly be their guests in future. Highly recommended . Manish and Rashmita.

Beautifully furnished and a peaceful and quiet location made this a great choice for my husband and I plus my parents in-law for a 3 night trip. Lovely treat to relax in the large jacuzzi! Beds were super comfy and the kitchen was large and modern. We enjoyed the coffee machine and breakfast supplies too. Overall, a super place that I would highly recommend.

Annette and Ron where amazing people. The bnb was super nice to stay in and was so relaxing! Enjoyed our evening in the spa so much and refreshed us for our moving day. Thanks for all your help and letting us stay!

Annette and Ron's place is peaceful, homely, modern, clean, spacious and well appointed; all you could ever need for a restful and relaxing stay. Gorgeous surroundings and beautiful hosts. Definitely can recommend to all. I will be back!

What you want? Hun you want be relaxed and have a nice clean house...... this is the property.... where you can enjoy the stay.

Beautiful stay with Ron and Annette. Felt very welcome in this beautiful place. Will definitely be back soon.

Zoe and Alex were the loveliest hosts - considering I was bringing three children and two adults, they were nothing but welcoming! Lovely large private room.

Zoe presents a beautiful house in a lovely secluded suburb. .. with 2 beautiful dogs ... Zoe is friendly and and easy to talk to... local tavern and Thai restaurant I can recommend for very nice meals

Zoe and Alex were great hosts and the house was lovely.

Really cool big room for private space where you can also dine or which movies on the couch; enjoyed Netflix. The hosts are great people too, good for a chat & very helpful. One of our favourite Air BnB experiences.

Our family of 5 were welcomed so warmly into this home. Immaculately clean home in a very quiet area. 5 minute drive to Woolies & other shops, although we were catered for brekky. Highly recommend this lovely down to earth couple Cheers guys, Tanya.

We felt right at home staying with Zoe and Alex, who made our family of four feel very welcome. The home and surrounds are very comfy and peaceful, a beautiful spot for a truly relaxing holiday. It was our first airbnb experience, but a stay that we highly recommend !

Everything as described. Good place.

The perfect place if you want to be away from the CBD. Quiet with lovely guests and animals.

Linda's place is lovely. The room is spacious and the kitchen is fully equipped with everything you could need. Linda was very welcoming and lovely to talk to. The dogs and newly acquired kitten are incredibly friendly and playful. If you're staying when Linda's daughter Penny is visiting she is a brilliant masseuse and her rates are really reasonable. A lovely relaxing stay with a wonderful host.

Linda made us very welcome in her lovely home and was very helpful and happy to spend time advising us on where to go and how to get there. She is dedicated to protecting and helping wildlife and the local woodland environment and has a loveable friendly rescue dog called Abby who we found hard to resist. We will certainly go back again if we can. Sue and Alan

琳达和大卫很友好主机和艾比是一个非常深情的狗。 房间和设施保存完好,干净。 如果需要的时候,我会呆在那里了。

우리는 린다와 데이비드와 사랑스러운 숙박을했다. 그들은 우리가 환영과 가족의 일부를 느끼게했다. 그것은 매우 조용한 환경과 침대 위치를 편안합니다.

Linda's home was extremely clean and comfortable. Easy walk to the bus and shopping cetre. It is a little far out of town, but a pleasant place to stay!

Thank you to Linda/Becky for hosting my wife and mum in law during their stay in Brisbane. They really enjoyed their stay at Linda's place. The public transport link from Brisbane to this place is very good. The house is really clean and my wife like it so much. Becky was very helpful. Overall its a very good experience staying at Linda's place. It's a good neighbourhood because people around the area know where Linda's house is.

Me and my baby son had a lovely stay with Linda and her family. It is a wee way out of town but easy to find your way even if you've never been to Brisbane before, as we hadn't. And then of course you're in a beautiful restful spot away from the hustle and bustle. We didn't swim in the pool but it looked very tempting and her courtyard is a lovely place to relax. Linda and her husband are both very welcoming and the house if full of mementoes from their travels, makes for a very cosy atmosphere! Though it lacks air conditioning, our room was perfectly comfortable with just a ceiling fan and the futon bed was also comfy. A lovely spot to wake up to the sound of birds and fall asleep to the sound of geckos! The whole house has bug screens over the doors and windows so there are no unwelcome guests inside, just a nice breeze. They have a very sweet 3-legged dog who also welcomes you every time you come home!

Thanks to Linda and David for a very flexible welcome and stay with them in early December. We are moving into the area and needed a base to work from while we sorted out schools and a house. My son and I arrived very late due to late interstate flight - no problem ....... we then did what we needed to, whilst being afforded every facility that we might want. We then left very early in the morning to catch the red eye flight...... Fantastic stay, lovely rooms and facilities and a great quiet spot not too far from town and easy to get around from. I would recommend a stay with Linda and David to anyone. Andy & Douglas Boardman

We had a wonderful experience staying with Carol. From the very first time stepping foot inside and meeting her we felt welcome. The home itself was clean and organised, we got our own bedroom with a desk and storage for clothes. Staying with Carol was like home away from home. It was our first time staying with Airbnb and thanks to Carol and her lovely home we were not disappointed.

Very comfortable stay, the bed was very comfy. Location was quiet and peaceful, but good for us being between Brissy and Ipswich to do interior detailing work on our car which we sold to other travellers staying at Cat's. Their home is very guest friendly with a nice clean kitchen, a great array of included breakfast items, a nice deck, and entertainment with movies on TV. Nice conversations with Cat and Ray. They both had great advice for us about things to do in Brisbane and wrapping up our travels in Australia. Mini cat is very cute! Would recommend!

Great hosts, very supportive and attentive to our needs. Beautiful surrounds. Lovely big house, nice deck for eating and socialising. Quiet bush setting.

Thank you Cat & Ray. We loved staying at your place. We felt like home! You helped us so much and for that we can't thank you enough. The house is clean, tidy and looks exactly like the pictures. The hosts are exceptionally helpful. We couldn't recommend it more. Magalie, Elen & Robert x

We stayed for 8 days with a 3 year old. Ray is a great person. Other residents were quiet and accommodating. Suburb is quiet. Will definitely visit bluegum rise again.

The nicest place I've stayed through airbnb at an unbeatable price. Fantastic hosts--friendly, informative, and highly accomodating. Immaculate facilities--bedroom, bathroom, living space, kitchen. Guests are provided their own bar fridge. Breakfast supplies are available downstairs in the kitchen. Quiet, suburban location--Ideal for those traveling by car. Not really convenient for pedestrians, though Cat and Ray are more than happy to shuttle you to the bus stop. Wild bush turkeys and wallabies live throughout the area. Overall, a very nice retreat from the city.

Great

Cat & Ray were such an awesome host. They welcomed me, my wife & our 21 months old daughter and made us feel at home. The room was large enough for all 3 of us, it was clean & thoughtfully had a doona cover that our little girl felt so at home she slept very well. The house is so spacious with many sitting areas that we didn't feel like we encroach on their spaces at all. We love the deck/outdoor sitting area, and the highlight was that we'd even saw a kangaroo jumped out of the woods one afternoon!!! We will sure be going back again soon.

Thank you Cat and Ray, the trip was awesome and you were very friendly! I know now that the world is small, and we might meet again :). The best hosts I have met. Definitely will be back.

Marie and Neive were very warm and welcoming, provided us with privacy however were able to discuss any concerns immediately.

Quite private little spot! Linda is a great host! Ended up staying longer!

Wonderful place with lovely hosts! Highly recommend!

Lovely place with great hosts. Very quiet and relaxing with a lovely river to look out onto. Perfect location for going into Brisbane, the Gold Coast, Ipswitch and the Lockyer Valley region, which is what we needed. Would highly recommend staying here.

Nice little place with everything we needed. Linda was very welcoming.

This is a lovely, quiet residential area. The garden is stunning and the cottage is well equipped. We were delighted that Linda had provided us with tea, coffee, bread, milk, cereal and bananas.

Lovely comfortable and well equipt cottage. Great location for peace and relaxation but still within easy travelling distance to shops and local clubs etc. Linda was a great host, very welcoming and helpful.

Hi Karana Downs Cottage was perfect for out stay. The tranquillity was deafening - so peaceful. Located well away from the house and set on a huge sweeping lawn, which rolls down to the river, the location is very private. Clean comfortable and well set up - it was perfect for our stay. Importantly Linda bent over backwards to assist and accommodate our plans which changed numerous times. We greatly appreciated her flexibility. All up a great stay thank you Linda.

Lovely place cottage very comfortable Linda and Braxton very accommodating

Suzanne went truly above and beyond what could be termed hospitable. She was warm, welcoming and charming, also intelligent and very funny. To find pet friendly accommodation 15ks from Brisbane's CBD with a glorious pool I was most welcome to use, bedroom with ensuite all stylish and up to the minute, kitchen the same, two beautiful lounge areas, PLUS a laundry, well it was well beyond my expectations. The bedroom/ensuite was away from the centre of the house which made it ideal for any work I had to deal with in a very peaceful environment. And a beautiful room it was to relax in with ceiling fan and garden aspect. To find this gem, close to Brisbane and have my dog welcome indoors as well as in the totally safe and secure yard was a dream come true. Dog lovers will know exactly what I mean. I imagine Suzanne would be just as kind and accommodating to kids as well. I drove very easily to my dream shop Ikea which was on the "to do" list. Suzanne even cooked me dinner, which was totally unexpected but very very welcome after a long drive. I was sorry to leave and wouldn't think of staying anywhere else But with Suzanne. Full marks. : )

The property was very functional and peaceful, as described. The pool and kitchen were particularly wonderful and easy to use. The bed was comfortable and everything was above expectations.

We had a lovely time at Suzanne's place. She was very friendly and obliging.

I was really happy to stay in Tommy's house! As I was working I did appreciate table in the room and good working wi-fi ;) Finally I staied one night more..

Tommy's house was really well-decorated and comfortable. He was very inviting and friendly and interesting to talk to. It was a nice experience.

This is a very nice place to stay for holiday, they are very friendly people and the house is big and beautiful. I stayed there for two weeks, and it was pretty good experience.

Tommy and his brother made me feel very welcome and right at home. They live in a leafy green suburb with large properties . It was a relaxing and peaceful place to stay.

Room is even bigger than it looks in the photos. Location was perfect amongst bushland. Lovely welcoming host and many extra touches including own shower, toilet,fridge. Bed linen is beautiful and is the bed. Could definitely stay longer than the one night I enjoyed there.
