We are in walking distance of a range of cafes and restaurants including the popular Todd & Pup, as well as a bottle shop. Note, we are on the top of a steep hill.
The surrounding area is a nature lover's paradise, with numerous walking tracks through Toohey Forest. Access to the forest is a short walk away in a nearby street (no direct access from Toohey Cottage). Keep your eyes peeled, as you may even spot a koala or echidna during your adventures.
As your hosts, we live next door and are available to assist with any issues that may arise during your stay. We kindly request that you respect our quiet neighborhood and adhere to our strict no party policy.
Whether you're visiting for work, educational purposes, or simply to explore the beauty of Brisbane, our freshly renovated house offers a comfortable and convenient base for your stay.
Guest access Guests have access to the whole property excluding the locked storage areas under the house
Other things to note We may need to access the garden for yard maintenance during your stay. Longer stays may require maintenance work to be carried out from time to time. Where possible we try to schedule these between bookings to avoid any inconvenience to guests. We will contact you first to make sure we don’t interrupt your privacy!
