I stayed here with my family whilst we were moving house and it was perfect for what we needed. The apartment and location was great and had everything we needed :) thanks for having us!
We really liked the local area and its proximity to things. The house was comfortable and well appointed. Great to find such a lovely dog friendly place to stay. Thank you for having us. We'd love to stay again.
The property was perfect for my needs while staying there for a month between selling and buying a new house.
Very comfortable and well appointed. Although being adjacent to a major road, the accommodation was still quite quiet, particularly in the bedrooms.
The property was exactly as described and met all of our needs during our stay. It was close to all of the amenities we needed, as well as conveniently placed for visiting family in Brisbane. Any queries we had were immediately answered by Kate and we couldn't have asked for better service. We will definitely stay again when we next return to Brisbane.
The space itself was well located and suited our needs, however the cleanliness was unfortunately not up to an acceptable standard, which impacted our stay - especially given the cost and that it was over the New Year period.We raised these concerns with the owner, who acknowledged the feedback and provided a partial refund, which we felt was reasonable for the inconvenience caused and was greatly appreciated. With a thorough deep clean this property could be much improved. We hope these issues are addressed for future guests.
We stayed as a grouyp of nine for the Women's World Cup and the property was perfectly suited for that. We each had our seperate space but could eat meals together upstairs. The washing facilities were a bonus for our week long stay.
The property matched exactly with our r expectations
The property is very convenient to the city which we needed to go everyday.
It is a comfortable place and had everything we needed.
It is pet friendly and our our husky had a good time there.
Thank you Kate and Garrath!
We had a very comfortable stay at Lone Pine.
Well appointed with lovely linens. Convenient location close to transport, shops and the CBD. Secure yard for our dog. She loved being able to see us through the glass sliders allowing us to keep her outside for much of the time. We stayed in the downstairs unit and appreciated the flat access. Lone Pine has a very welcoming aesthetic. We are looking forward to a return visit. Highly recommend this property.

Thanks for your kind words Leanne, I’m so glad you enjoyed your stay!
The place was really a home away from home. Everything we needed and more, a great central spot to explore Brissy. Happy doggies and happy humans! I mostly appreciated the host's response to an unfortunate group of upstairs neighbours that had no consideration for anyone else..... Definitely nothing to do with the hosts and they were as unhappy as we were to hear about it. Would highly recommend.
Property was spacious, clean and comfortable. Useful kitchen and the washing machine was a bonus. There was competition between us and the tenants upstairs for the only onsite parking space and the nearest on the side of the road was over 50m away. Might be due to christmas. The noise from the busy road in the morning and evening was intrusive. The dog yard was secure and we appreciated that our dog could stay.Buses stops were close, good coffee shops nearby and a dog park 20 minutes walk away.We would stay at this place again.

Reason for Stars
This property has no parking as street parking is at a minimum on a tight curve. Lacking attention to detail ... No tea towels, rusting pots, leaking pipes under the sink, toilet runs on and sometimes won't flush, there was a broken outside power point which was fixed while we were there by adding another layer of sticky tape to waterproof it. Overall it was functional but not exactly comfortable!
The property was as we expected. It is huge actuality. We were grateful we could take our dog. The small secure yard was handy. The shower head was a bit faulty and the soap dispenser was empty in the vanity. The furniture is dated but still user friendly. Would have liked more than 1 small milk in the fridge for our 2 night stay, we would also have liked the dog rules included in the online information. But it was as expected and we had a great experience. Checking in and out was a breeze. Owner answered questions very promptly. 4 stars overall
Relaxed, comfortable and worked really well for our dog. Enoggera is a great location - not far from the city and a very pleasant, green, suburb in its own right. There could be a downside to residing in the downstairs residence as noise from upstairs (footsteps early in the morning etc) can be very loud.

Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, listing accuracy
The description needs to be more accurate
If you are in a wheelchair this property will not work. You need to cross a gravel path to the door. There are step ups to get in. The lock box with the key is out of reach. The clothesline is out of reach. You have to use the toilet and shower with the door open.
The place also needs a good clean.
My wife and I stayed for 2 weeks with our dog when moving to Brisbane. The place is fantastic with everything you need and in a convenient location. Easy check in and great communication.

About the host
Hosted by Kate Horsey and Garrath Elborne
We bought the house in 2005 and lived here pre-renovation. When we found we were having twins we moved out while the renovation was done, returning 2 years later to live in the apartment upstairs, letting out this apartment downstairs to short term guests. We have had families, pets and singletons stay with us, and looked after kids while their parents welcomed a new baby and treated dogs as our own while owners were out. In 2015 we built the house behind this one and lived there for a couple of years before selling and moving to an apartment (it was just too big!). We love the location and really enjoyed our visitors. We welcome you to stay at Lone Pine Retreat and we are still living close by if there's anything you need.
