Description
We are a family of 4 living in a spacious home with a pool and games room. We have students from around the world and two little friendly cats.
We are in a beautiful, convenient location only minutes away from coffee shops, restaurants, the beach, city, airport and all forms of transport in Brisbane.
The lower level of our house has two large rooms with queen beds. We have students staying in two of the rooms, and the third is ready for a workaway helper. There is a bathroom, and kitchenette for your own use. The downstairs area also has access to the games room, with pool (snooker) table, ping pong, and the large pool.
We are away on and off the holidays, so you will be in charge of your own meals.
I am a single mum of three very loving and busy school aged children. I work full time in the beautiful South Bank parklands as a graphic designer. We are out of the house all day and most weekends, so you will have plenty of space to yourself.Types of help and learning opportunities

What else ...
Beautiful Brisbane is a lovely bustling city with so much to do, and plenty of places to visit within close proximity - the Sunshine Coast, Gold Coast and world famous scenic rim.
Very easy access to all forms of transport, the city, river and the airport. I work across the parklands, so busy with designing events and will always be at hand to give recommendations of things to do (especially for free) in our beautiful city. I have hosted exchange students for many years and love the cultural exchange for both the students and my children.
We often go out bush holidays, and if you are staying with us you will be welcome to join us camping off the grid.A little more information
