Guest Reviews
We recently spent six nights at City Cottage and weren't disappointed at all with the great accommodation offered or the location of the property close to quaint Paddington. The property was accurately depicted on the website which was great - there was plenty of space, a nice kitchen, lovely outdoor area and all the things needed to make it a great holiday house. Peter took time to show us where the supermarket was which was appreciated and made our first few hours in Brisbane easier. We would definitely recommend City Cottage as a place to stay as it only takes a few minutes to drive to the city or head to Paddington's interesting cafes/shops.

A lovely home away from home for our geographically dispersed family to spend time together. Everything about City Cottage says 'quality'. We really enjoyed the proximity to great shopping and eating out options and would happily stay there again. Stacey

We stumbled across City Cottage while hunting on the web for accommodation in Paddington. We were so impressed with its presentation that we booked it for the day of our wedding preparations and the first weekend of our honeymoon. It did not disappoint. We really could not fault it and shall look for excuses to return. It is stylish, spacious, classical yet luxurious and is located in a peaceful nook of Paddington. The owners were pleasant to deal with, helpful and paid great attention to detail.

City Cottage was a fantastic place to stay for our family. The location so close to the city and yet so private helped us all to explore Brisbane and then relax and unwind each day. Peter was the perfect host, helpful but at the same time not over bearing. We were made to feel very welcome. We would all make City Cottage our first choice when next in Brisbane. I would also add this is the first time I have had a good nights sleep when away from home due to the quality of the furnishings. Many thanks Peter.

A beautiful cottage with quality fittings and features. A 'home' away from home. A very good kitchen. Spacious with lovely decks for dining.Very central and handy to transport, shopping and motorways.

A great home and really child friendly. Everything we needed for a home away from home. Our son really liked the playground just down the hill. City cottage is close to main bus routes and well placed to enter the road network. A great base to see Brisbane and surrounding areas.

The City Cottage is ideally located for city visits. The house exceeded expectations in all respects. It was perfect as an accomodation base for our daughter's Brisbane wedding. Pre-wedding photos on the verandah highlighted the uniqueness of a Queenslander cottage. A delightful and enjoyable place to stay. Thanks to Peter for ensuring a high standard of presentation and comfort is maintained.

It is fabulous to have all the home comforts in an elegant setting. A lovely place to return to after a busy day sight seeing. We appreciated the quality fittings and the indoor out door flow.
Love the wooden floors and high ceilings.
Paddington is so central and easy to get to.
The house layout was ideal for us as a couple with two teenage daughters we all could spread out.

We can thoroughly recommend City Cottage! After booking over the internet, we were so happily surprised on arrival to see that we had, indeed, found a 'home away from home'. It is a wonderful house for entertaining and our overseas guests who stayed with us were most impressed with this snapshot of the Brisbane lifestyle. Staying at the City Cottage was a major part in alleviating the stresses of such an important event as our son's wedding. We felt so comfortable that we were all sorry to leave 'our' house when the time came. Thank you Peter and Cheryl for all the little touches and your helpful attention.
