Comfortable pet friendly family home, 12 min to BNE terminals, 5 to Nudgee Beach
Delightful pet friendly family home in a quiet, safe cul de sac with fresh new furnishings and modern appliances. Plantation shutters throughout the house provide privacy and darkness for a restful nights sleep. For your added comfort and peace of mind there are security grilles with insect screens on all windows and doors. Our guests have told us that their children love playing on the lawns while they enjoy the outdoor setting on the patio.
Only minutes from restaurants and shops in Banyo Village and 800m walk to Nudgee Station.
International and domestic air terminals are only 12 minutes drive in normal traffic conditions.
About 5 minutes drive to the renowned Australian Catholic University.
Easy access to the CBD and Fortitude Valley via Airport Link motorway takes about 30 minutes.
Alternatively, avoiding tolls, and taking about 35 minutes via Southern Cross freeway and Kingsford Smith Drive provides you with the delightful scenery of the Brisbane River and the city as you head towards it. Regular trains from Nudgee Station take about 25 minutes to reach Central Station in the city and a little less to reach Fortitude Valley.
If you enjoy the beach, you are only 7 minutes from Nudgee Beach where you'll find a dog park and an off leash area. There is also a lovely board walk through the coastal vegetation with viewing platforms to spot the numerous water birds.
However, I recommend the beaches at Shorncliffe and Sandgate which are less than 20 minutes via the motor way. Low tide provides a very large off leash area for your fur child. Alternatively, regular trains to Sandgate Station get you there in 9 minutes from Nudgee Station.
If you feel like some retail therapy, Skygate DFO (Direct Factory Outlet) provides hours of browsing and lots of bargains from more than 140 retail outlets including high fashion brands. Just over 10 minutes via the motorway and free parking is available. brisbane.dfo.com.au The second biggest regional shopping mall in Australia is less than 15 minutes drive. Westfield Chermside, known as Chermy by locals has about 450 retail outlets and free parking for 2 hours. My tip is to join Westfield Plus and get 4 hours free. westfield.com.au/chermside
Several good golf clubs are nearby including Nudgee (5 minutes), Virginia (8 minutes), Royal Queensland (15 minutes), and Redcliffe (25 minutes).
Suncorp stadium, the home ground for the Bronco's Rugby League team, Qld Reds Rugby Union team and Qld Roar football team is only 20 minutes by car. However, for the big games and some of the concerts held here, the city council provides free buses from Chermside shopping centre.
Boondall Entertainment Centre is an easy 11 minute drive via the motorway. Plenty of parking available.
Also at Boondall, you'll find the Boondall Wetland Centre
The newly opened Brisbane Motor Museum at Banyo is only 7 minutes by car.
Wining and dining suggestions (dog friendly) are; Breakfast/ lunch Putia Pure Food Kitchen, Banyo The Ole Dairy, Banyo Kitchen 8, Northgate Flour and Chocolate, Northgate Matthew Thomas, Sandgate Fuel & Co, Nundah Kos Cafe, Hamilton Petrichor & Co, Hamilton
Lunch/dinner Full Moon Hotel, Shorncliffe Rustichella, Northgate Doug's Seafood Cafe, Sandgate Fosh Seafood, Birdsnest, Marble Korean Barbeque amongst the many choices at Portside Hamilton Wharf Flaming & Co, Hamilton Kishiwa Japanese Restaurant, Scarborough 30 minute drive but Scarborough is worth a visit.

We stayed at this property in Nudgee for 5 weeks while our home was being renovated and could not have been happier. The home and gardens were clean, beautifully maintained and had anything needed (oven, dish washer, laundry etc). The location was quiet, safe and easily allowed us access to Brisbane CBD & surrounds. The home is pet friendly and our dogs enjoyed being close to Nudgee beach and Sandgate. The property owner went above and beyond to ensure that we had what we needed and were comfortable during our stay. John’s communication was excellent and we would highly recommend to anyone thinking of staying.

Thank you and the team for staying, John and thank you for taking good care of the house and leaving it so tidy.
It was a pleasure having you and the 3 team mates stay while you successfully completed in the national championships.
I'm pleased that you found the house so well positioned being close to the the airport and an easy drive to the venue.
It would be nice to think that the comfortable beds, relaxing couches and the range of amenities contributed to your medal winning success in the games hahaha.
I'll look forward to your next visit to Brisbane.
Best wishes,
John
Outstanding property had everything we needed . Couldn’t ask for a better place to stay away from home as it felt like home.John the host was excellent with communication and helped with everything we needed.Would highly recommend and would stay again if we head to Queensland again for sure.
John's property was amazing to stay at, very clean and tidy. Great for a family with young kids. Pet friendly is a big plus. Nice quiet cul-de-sac close to parks, train station and shops. John is a great host, very accommodating.

Hi Cecilia,
Thank you for your great 5-star review and kind comments.
I really enjoyed having you, Dylan and the family (including Banjo) stay and I'm glad that the home was so ideal for you during the many weeks that you needed emergency accommodation while your house was being repaired. I only wish that the insurance company had been prepared to have you stay longer to make it easier for you to handle the trauma of being displaced from your own home.
Best wishes,
John
Spotlessly clean, fantastic quiet area. Close to local shops heaps of off lead dog parks as well.John is always happy to answer any questions you might have, and easily contacted.Nudgee Beach pub has really good food a small kid's play area where we caught up with family (5 kid's under 10) for lunch A great property, fantastic communication from owner, highly recommend

Thank you for your great recommendation, Scott.
It's rewarding to have guests pleasantly surprised by the quiet and convenient location of the house
I'm glad that you enjoyed your stay and that Sensi was able to enjoy the nearby off-leash areas. Nudge Beach is really a handy asset.
A big thank you, Scott and Jan for the time you took to ensure the house was so clean and tidy on your departure. You must have been up early to do this before the start of your big road trip, home.
It was a joy to meet you and to have you stay and I'm glad that the house could easily accommodate your 3 grandchildren when they came to stay as well.
I'm sure they were very happy to have the family together for taco night!
You will be more than welcome if you choose my house again for your next family reunion.
John's place was a beautifully presented and peaceful house in a fantastic location, very close to the airport and had everything you need. It really felt like a home away from home. John was very helpful when we needed to check in with very late notice. Would recommend to others.

Best wishes, John.
John was a fantastic host. House was very clean and extremely well presented. All contact with him made the stay more enjoyable with his willingness to assist. We will definitely be staying again when next in Brisbane. Thanks John.
Had an amazing weekend staying at this property, John (Host) made sure that our stay was comfortable and effortless. Beautiful home with plenty of space. Would highly recommend to all. Thank you John.

Thank you for tracking care of the house and I hope you can visit again.
Great property in a quiet neighborhood. John has thought of everything you might need and provided it. Good communication made check-in a breeze. Central air conditioning was a blessing and easily defeated the Brisbane heat. Easy access to nearby grocery station, railroad station, and highway.
John's house has been perfect for our emergency accommodation after our house was recently flooded. It is so ideal for our family that we have already made another booking and really want our insurers, to extend our stay here until they have completed the repairs on our home. I would highly recommend this accommodation to anyone.

Hi Luke, thank you for choosing my home and for your kind endorsement.
I'm glad that your family, including the fur children, enjoyed their stay. I'm also happy to have helped you by providing a comfortable family home when you urgently needed one.
I really enjoyed the friendly greetings from Duke and Stormy and will miss them. They are so well behaved and playing with them just made my day.
I'm certainly looking forward to your next stay.
John was a wonderful host. He contacted me as soon as I booked our stay. Our house was super clean and had everything you needed. (Like being at home in your own home ). Great location, easy to get around and shops not far away. Would recommend Johns place for your stay, we will defiantly stay there again.

This was our second stay at John’s house, for emergency accomodation while our property is being repaired under insurance.
John’s house was perfect again for both myself, partner and our animals. It was in a great location with easy access to the motorway. The house was extremely clean and had well presented with everything we needed for our stay.
I would highly recommend John’s house

Best wishes for a speedy job on the rebuild and quick return to your own home.

My family and I were in Brisbane for two and a half weeks to visit relatives. We reside in the USA. This was by far the cleanest, nicest, best kept, most nicely furnished, open, airy, well lit, sufficiently powered (electrical sockets and USB ports everywhere), everything you could ever want short term rental we have ever stayed at! John (the owner) was fantastic. Simply the best. We are so grateful to have found such a lovely place and we plan on returning in the future!

Thank you for being such a wonderful guest and taking care of the house so well. And a big thank you to the 3 boys who are totally gentlemen of the first order.
And thanks indeed, Pam, for the great work in coordinating the whole exercise.
I am so glad that you chose to stay at my place and would really love to have you visit again.
Very soon!

We had to quickly find a place for the family, including our two dogs, after settlement got delayed. John's place was perfect, and his hospitality and concern for our family and the dogs was saintly. He went out of his way to accommodate our awkward circumstances. It's a 5 start pet friendly home, with 5 start hospitality from John.

I'm glad that you have been able to relax at last.

I had the pleasure to stay in this beautiful property. The host went above and beyond to ensure our stay was stress free, comfortable and enjoyable. The little touches were so appreciated and thoughtful; a bottle of bubbles in the fridge, tim tams, a fruit bowl, even the dog did not miss out. I cannot thank the host enough for providing a tranquil and beautiful place to stay. The host was gracious enough to allow us to inspect the property to ensure it was appropriate for our dog. The property is in a great location, close to dog parks, local shops, the airport and the gateway. I highly recommend this property, I will be recommending it to friends and family. Thank you to the host for an outstanding property and stay.

Thank you for your very kind words, Laura. It was an absolute pleasure to have you both and your fur child stay in my place and I'm glad that you were so happy to find a comfortable family friendly home after your disappointing experience at the previous Stayz property.
I enjoyed being able to help you in the transition to your new home and hope that I helped relieve some of the trauma of the move.
Thank you so much for taking so much care of the house and for leaving it in an immaculate state.
You are certainly 5 star guests and I only wish that the house was available for your earlier stay at the other property.
Best wishes for a very happy experience with your new home and I would love to have our paths cross again in the future.
Warm regards,
John
We highly recommend this very comfortable home. It was ideal for our family with super comfortable beds, very well appointed with everything you need including an air fryer and coffee machine.
Everything is so new, fresh and spotlessly clean.
The family loved the big screen and the awesome recliner lounges and I really appreciated the location.
Quite cul de sac not too far from the city, and only 4 minutes from Nudgee Golf Club, 8 minutes from Virginia Golf Club and 14 minutes from Royal Qld golf club.
And our fur child loved the yard with the secure fence and visiting the great dog beach at Sandgate.

I really appreciate the clean and tidy condition of the house.
Love to have you stay again.
Luxurious home, perfectly located close to the airport
This well appointed home was just perfect for our family. There was room for the kids, a lovely lounge room and everything we needed for a perfect stay.
The adjustable bed in the main bedroom was extra special. It lifted me up into the perfect viewing position to watch the good-sized flat screen while enjoying a coffee from the Lavazza coffee maker. Pure luxury. Speaking of
luxury, we loved the Bamboo sheets and the super soft towels.
I also liked the feel of the house with plantation shutters all around. This house has been designed with guests in mind and the extra inclusions such as the cot, bassinet, and high chair were invaluable when travelling with our little one.
Thank you so much John, you are an excellent host who treated us like family. We'll be back!

Fantastic Pet Friendly Property, Managed By A Sensational Host
Our family (including our two British Bulldogs), have lived in this lovely property, for the last two months, as we transition homes.
The property itself is exactly as represented on the website, kept spotless and beautifully maintained. Positioned in a quiet cul-de-sac, no traffic, very peaceful, fully dog fenced and secure all around and lots of room for kids or dogs to run around, perfect for those families with fur babies. House has ample room for a family, has everything one would need for a long stay, which was perfect for our situation, as all our belongings were sent to storage prior to taking ownership of our new home.
What sets this property apart from others is the way it is managed by the host - John. John is a dog lover who is also passionate about maintaining his property and ensuring his guests are happy, whether they be two legged or four! John kept in discreet contact with us during our entire stay, just to make sure all was ok and if we needed anything it was actioned immediately. Thank you for making our stay so comfortable John.
In short, we would highly recommend this property to anyone, but particularly those who may be renovating or transitioning homes, have family and or fur babies - this is the one for you!

Thank you for your very kind words, Alan and Nel.
I'm very glad that you found the house so suitable for the family including Baxter and Bella.
It is rewarding to me to able to facilitate your transition to your new home and make the move an easier one.
I highly value your favourable endorsement. Even though the house has close to 100% occupancy, most of my guests have been clients of insurance companies with fairly long term stays while their properties are repaired. In these cases, the insurance companies do not leave reviews.
Consequently, you feedback is very welcome.
Best wishes for a happy time in your new home.
