I live in beautiful tree filled Norman Park. It’s a quiet neighbourhood but close to the city with easy access, a 10 minute bus trip if not in peak traffic. You can catch the citycat (boat) up the river to the city, Southbank and UQ. We have a very friendly dog, Harvey. You would have complete use of our lower floor area which has 2 bedrooms, bathroom, kitchen, lounge, laundry and separate access. I have been hosting overseas students and travellers for a few years. We are very close to public transport and 3 kms from the city and very close to Shafston College. We are also close to QUT Gardens Point, the City, Southbank TAFE, a gym, Thai restaurant and public transport. There are 3 coffee shops handy. There is a separate kitchen for your use, cooking equipment, fridge, microwave, hotplates etc. Wifi Internet and electricity etc is included. I am respectful of your privacy but always available to answer questions or help if I can.
PLEASE NOTE I DON'T PROVIDE THE LIGHT BREAKFAST. THE HOMESTAY WEBSITE ADDS THIS AUTOMATICALLY.
We are close to river and major roads but it is a quiet, leafy area.

    The two weeks I stayed at Sue's accommodation were very comfortable and enjoyable. Sue is really friendly and comfortable. The accommodation was really nice too. Recommended. Great host.

    Logement très sympathique et agréable. il se situe à 20 minutes en bus du centre ville.
    Les espaces sont grands.
    Sue est très gentille et respectueuse de notre vie privée.
    Seuls inconvénients : le frigo est tellement froid qu'il congèle les aliments, la machine à laver abime les vêtements fragiles et il est difficile de cuisiner avec une plaque de cuisson pour camping.

    A fabulous homestay. Sue is very welcoming and her lovely puppy Harvey. Sue is very helpful and at the same time respects your privacy.
    Restful, relaxing with nature around you and the downstairs area has everything you need for your stay, with a so comfy bed, I highly recommend this homestay. Thank you Sue for having me as a house guest.

    I really enjoyed my time here! I really felt at home. The room and house were very comfortable, and the location was great, both convenient as well as beautiful and green. Big thank you to Sue for being such a great host and providing everything to make me feel comfortable. Will miss living here, especially will miss little Harvey!

    The place was lovely, and light with gorgeous garden and green all around. I had the place to myself, so was particularly lucky. Sue was helpful and courteous doing whatever she could do to make my stay comfortable.

You then pay your host on arrival or as stated by your host on their profile and agreed by you on booking. Please be cautious if a host requests advance payment if its not included on their profile. Our hosts have been advised that if they wish to request advance payment they must make this explicit in their profile. We do not recommend the use of Money gram or Western Union.
