About the host
Hosted by Sue Hawkins
My husband Peter and I are passionate about home renovation and traveling the world.
We built our stunning beach house, 'Villa Macleay', 30 years ago and we have decided it is now time to start sharing it with other people. Over the last 2 decades, Villa Macleay has been a haven for our children and now our grandchildren.
Likewise, we are excited to announce that we are also now listing our beautifully renovated, art deco New Farm apartment, 'Aotea'. This Art Deco apartment is too stunning to keep from the growing community and is perfect for business people, visiting families to Brisbane and boarding school parents wanting somewhere more personalised than a hotel when they visit their children for weekends.
We believe in presenting our properties in a style that we would like to stay in ourselves. We hope you enjoy them as much as we do.

Why they chose this property
'Aotea' was built as two adjoining flats in the Art - Deco style in 1936 for Mr William Danaher, and has been in the family ever since. It features stunning original hardwood floors, picture rails, timber paneled doors and some of the original light fittings. This property is not our home, it is listed exclusively as a holiday rental, so if it isn't already booked, you can always consider it yours every time you need to stay in beautiful inner city Brisbane.
What makes this property unique
We have added a beautiful relaxed covered courtyard where you can dine, read a book, have a coffee, beer, or glass of wine, and while away the hours.
