House in Brisbane, Australia - leafy suburb 6km from city

  • WE HAVE ALL HOLIDAYS BOOKED FOR 2024 - FEEL FREE TO GET IN TOUCH TO DISCUSS FUTURE OPPORTUNITIES. HAPPY TO TALK.

Hi - we’re Fiona & Anthony. We live in the leafy suburb of Camp Hill in a traditional colonial house known as a 'Queenslander'. Located on a hill with views over the suburb, our house has high ceilings and verandahs to catch the Moreton Bay breezes & keep the heat out. The house is completely renovated with all the mod cons. 3 bedrooms (1 x King, 2 x Double), 3 full bathrooms, 2 lounge rooms and separate dining. There is a paved outdoor entertaining area in our backyard. We can accommodate up to 6 people (+ blow up mattress).

There are parks, native bushland, shops and restaurants within walking distance of the house. The bus to the city & the famous 'South Bank', is close by. As we have done a number of exchanges, we know what you'll need and have it ready for you: tourist brochures, maps, bus timetables and of course, sunscreen. Enjoy a morning coffee in the sandstone courtyard, where you can listen to the local bird life. Sip a sundowner on the front porch as the day drifts away and you rest your weary feet. Wander down to the local bowls club for a takeaway Thai meal. If you enjoy cooking, we have a Weber BBQ, a 6 burner gas stove and electric oven.

We have a car (Honda Jazz - manual) to exchange which will allow you to drive the famous beaches of the Gold Coast (less than 1hr) and theme parks (1 hr) as well as the Sunshine Coast (under 2 hrs). A car will also mean you can visit interesting locations such as Daisy Hill Koala Centre, Hamilton Eat Street Markets and enjoy the views over the city and Moreton Bay from Mt Coot-tha.

Several years ago we spent 18 months in Europe. We did lots of great exchanges in places such as Spain, Austria, France, Switzerland and the UK. We are keen to return to Europe again. We have visited the US and look forward to future exchanges there. Please book mark us or drop back to see where we may be interested in going in future.

Our neighbourhood is a very old suburb of Brisbane. It has many traditional 'Queenslander' houses built of wood with tin roofs. They have wide verandahs, high ceilings and are raised from the ground to allow for airflow and cooling breezes in our hot climate.

Livsstil

We are Anthony & Fiona. Public (Civil) Servants who have retired early to enjoy life! We love to visit smaller towns and unusual locations as well as big cities.

Our home is within walking distance of restaurants, shops & parks. It was renovated in 2016 with a new kitchen, living spaces and fabulous courtyard - perfect for that evening drink. We live 6.5km from the CBD which is readily accessible via public transport.

Brisbane is Australia's 3rd largest city with many interesting options on offer and a relaxed outdoor lifestyle. There's a generous supply of sunshine as well as some spectacular summers storms. The coldest it gets in our winter is 20c during the day (10c at night) so it is ideal to visit during the northern summer. It's still warm and sunny but not too hot for those who are not used to the tropics. There is a vibrant arts culture with galleries, restaurants, bars and a live music scene.

Did you know that the cartoon Bluey is made and set in Brisbane? The city is the gateway to the golden beaches of the Gold Coast (south) and Sunshine Coast (north), many national parks as well as tourist attractions such as Dreamworld, Seaworld and Australia Zoo - home of the Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin.  All can be seen in an easy day trip.
