Cozy bed sit in Kippa Ring, ideal for a short stay. The kitchenette has everything you need and there is a sizeable bathroom. The bed is comfortable. Shops and rail in walking distance. Adrian is an amenable and friendly host. If you have a car, the beach and sea front at Redcliffe is a 5 min drive. The facilities are not modern, but I was more than happy with my experience.

Simple, quiet and clean little bed sit in Kippa Ring. Very affordable, comfy bed, roomy bathroom. Adequate kitchenette. Adrian was welcoming and helpful on check in. In very quiet cul de sac with easy vehicular access to Redcliffe or Sandgate or beyond. No lounge but private outdoor sitting area. The stay was perfect for us as we only needed a bedroom as we were attending a family event nearby.

Peace and quiet

My wife and I enjoyed our stay of one week, especially the peace and quiet of living in a court where the neighbours didn't make a sound.Our host was friendly and welcoming. He ensured we has everything we needed.The unit was just right for us 2 because we were out during the day and only needed a place to stay each night.

Affordable, clean, private and well managed

For me, a perfect location, close to shops and trains. The coastline is a short busride away, I like to walk, never did I feel unsafe, pleasant neighbourhoods and a shopping mall near by. Great communication with owner, who lives in main part of house, rarely seen 👍 Oh, and the shower is awesome

Quiet little place

Adrian was a great host! Responded very quickly, and was very accommodating to my needs/requests. The place was brilliant, great value for money and great location, Flat was clean and welcoming, the shower was great , added bonuses was the little kitchenette with the tea and coffee, all in all the flat was a great stay and would recommend it to anyone.

Budget-friendly Hidden Dwelling

Great for an economical stay as train/bus station and shopping centre is roughly a 10-15 min walk away. Some appliances are outdated but run fine. I stayed during summer, which lead to a couple of hot sleeps. No air con but a functional pedestal fan. Although most days were hot, the patio is cooler than indoors as cool breezes came through.I would recommend for anyone who wants a quiet affordable room to stay for a couple of nights.

No wifi Whatsoever, zero, nada. Owner made no attempt to correct non existent wifi. My devices (3) were not to blame. A router malfunction. I repeatedly tried to contact provider but only owner can inquire about account. After complaining to owner over several days, I was asked to leave early, uncompensated. What am I to do? Very weird

Cosy private hideaway handy to most everthing

Adrian is a gentleman of the old school, a kind warm host, who showed us great kindness. The room is a bit nostalgic but has all we needed within reason. The bathroom is spotless & spacious. Lovely courtyard to catch the breeze. Being from a cooler climate there was a few days where air conditioning would be most welcome as the room felt a bit hot but it did not last & we were quite comfortable after that. Redcliffe is nearby the jetty & seafront, & great new shopping centre walking distance & many more a short drive away. Thanks Adrian we will never forget your kindness

Comfortable

Adrian was very welcoming, and showed us through the property, he was on hand if we had any concerns The unit has everything you need , the bathroom was quite spacious. We stayed for a week, and I think it is ideal for short stays. We did find it lacking in utensils for cooking, no sharp knife, broken tongs, etc It does need a bit of updating and a good clean, but still adequate for a short stay
