Luke is a very polite, friendly and easy going person, very respectful of both our home and privacy.
He was easy to have around, clean and tidy and always willing to offer a hand wherever he could. We wish you all the best for the rest of your travels.

Spent time with Jess and Craig on their lovely property, nestled in the country side. Very welcoming and friendly atmosphere, making you feel at home around their home.
On your days off, they’re always willing to drop you off at the train station. If your unsure of locations and attractions to visit, they’re a wealth of local knowledge.
Thank you… read more

Jess and Craig are really friendly people and we felt like home soon. We laughed a lot and had lots of fun together. Also we had time to explore Brisbane and the towns surrounded. Craig was a great help with our car if he would not helped us, it would have broken down. Both learned us a bit more about the Australian culture and made some trips… read more

They took us around the city, showed us Eat street, and helped us with our car!!! They are very hospitable, and gave us time to explore and relax, which we really appreciated. Thank you guys :) Would recommend!!!
