Meet Sue
Outgoing, Sociable, Adventurous
We live in the closest acreage area to Brisbane CBD, a rare touch of the bush in easy reach of the city and bay. We have cultivated a leafy, relaxed garden with room for relaxation and exercise.
On a typical day...
I'm an early bird.
When I host guests...
I like to chat with them when they are home but have my own things going on.

Sue was a wonderful host. She was helpful in giving information and knowledgeable about the area(places to visit). She provided warm and inviting atmosphere for my family. The property was exactly as described. Waking up to the birds and having coffee on the deck was great. The pool was a special feature and a stroll through the beautiful property was a wonderful evening activity. The price was very fair. We felt like family right from the beginning. It was a great location for my family’s stay in Brisbane.

c’était pour moi une première fois chez un hôte. Sue s’est montrée patiente avec mon anglais , bienveillante, toujours prête à m’apporter une aide ou un conseil. J’ai beaucoup apprécié mon séjour chez elle et je me suis sentie à l’aise comme chez moi. Je n’hésiterai pas à revenir avec plaisir ! :)

Enjoyed my stay.
Sue was extremely helpful.
Very homely atmosphere and I highly recommend her home stay.September 2024
My stay with Sue was absolutely perfect. She was helpful even before I arrived, making sure I could get to her place with no hassle. The helpfulness continued once I arrived with her offering me information about Brisbane and the surrounding areas. She made my first 6 weeks in a new country feel as comfortable as possible. Her home is lovely and travel is easily accessible. I am so thankful she opened up her home to me and I can’t express my gratitude enough.

Thank you Sue for providing us with whatever made our homestay comfortable and relaxing . Your hospitality made our visit memorable, and we greatly appreciated how you made us feel at ease. We loved your fur babies and it was a pleasure meeting your mum. We recommend your home for everyone looking for a place to relax.
Best regard,

Sue’s place was a great place for myself and my best friend to stay after moving to Brissy from NZ. We imported our 2 dogs and Sue was a kind host and allowed them to stay as well! Comfy bed and close to local transport :)

It was amazing. Everyone was very kind. The huge yard and variety of animals relieved my daily fatigue. I highly recommend it. Thank you.

Genta was a delight to host. He was very respectful of our home and the other Homestayer, our house rules and our fur babies. Genta is the epitome of a perfect house guest. I would recommend him to any Host and hope he has a wonderful stay in Australia.

Sue's homestay is home away from home. Sue is a lovely Host, very kind along with her lovely Mum and family, with their beautiful furbaby.
I felt welcomed from the day I arrived and Sue's home is very relaxed,just what I needed with my stay.
A big thank you Sue for helping me to get my Car sorted, your Homestay is a perfect balance of a Host respecting a guest privacy with there to help when needed, complete comfort.
I highly recommend Sue's homestay, I would give this 10out of 10.March 2024
I really enjoyed homestaying here. The house is specious and has everything you need. Sue took me to market, dancing and invited me to home party with her family. I was happy to have such wonderful experiences. Sue and her family are all kind and helped me a lot during my stay. She made my first days in Australia so precious and unforgettable.Thank you ;) I highly recommend this place to anyone interested in homestaying in Brisbane.
