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.

When I host guests...
I like to chat with them when they are home but have my own things going on.

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.

I cannot thank you enough for the support you have given me.
Even when my English was immature and I couldn't convey my words properly, you never showed any displeasure and kindly cooperated with me.
Additionally,being invited to important family events like Christmas parties and being welcomed as a member of the family is a memory I will cherish for a lifetime.November 2023
Thank u,Sue!
It was my first time going abroad and I’m still learning English.
But she taught me everything.She’s sooo kind:)November 2023
Sue and her mom are very kind and thoughtful, helping me with many things as I adapt to Australia. Additionally, their house and garden are amazing. We can learn and see many things from their life. You won’t regret staying with Sue. I look forward to seeing you, Sue and grandma. :)

What a lovely Australian homestay at Sue's place. Surrounded by nature, yet close to the city and the oceanside. Celebrating grandma's (Sue's mom) birthday and having dinners with Sue's children made me feel part of the family. Sue was always supportive and actively helping out to get everything set for living & working in Australia. I loved going together to line dance class and her job at the jazz bar. Grateful for the stay and all the talks.
I would highly recommend Sue and grandma's place to any person. Hope to come back soon and stay in touch.

Thanks to Sue and her family, my early days in Australia comes amazingly big fortune to me.
Their warm-hearted, enthusiastic attitude once again reassured me that choosing to stay here was perfect and worth it. While I stay in here, we usually talked about my upcoming schedule together all day and they not only advised me whedn I was worried about an unpredictable future, but also gave me several tips about living in Australia, which was helpful to me... Sue and her family tried to share native culture with me like Aussie foods or visiting monthly markets which won't be forgotten in my heart.
Someone who wants to make countlessly great memories and experiences..? then choose here, you won't regret it!! It's okay even if it is your first homestay!
