    Jude and Mark were very welcoming and went out of their way to help us. It was like visiting friends. Their home is a beautiful Queenslander, and the rooms are comfortable and have everything that we needed. When we wanted to go out for dinner,...

    Jude, the host was very accommodating and friendly even for a late arrival. The room and house were fantastically clean and organised. It's a hidden gem. Thank you

    The old queenslander was tastefully renovated and the original charm was still there. The bush setting meant that traffic was non existent. We enjoyed the peace and quiet

    As a first-time solo traveler at 19, I immediately felt welcomed and completely safe. I'm already planning my next visit! Staying here felt like staying at a friend's house—the accommodations were beautiful, and the area was amazing.

    The bed was exceptionally comfortable, the room was very spacious...and it smelled amazing! The whole place was pristine, even under the house! (that's impressive Jude 😊). There were so many thoughtful touches such as a whole jug of drinking...

Rustic Sunflower 🌻 is a large Queensland style house of 224 Square meters located on 37 acres of land near the Brisbane River, surrounded by mountains and trees . The atmosphere is peaceful and quiet, very close to nature. The house was built in 1900 but well maintained and has a big verandah and separate bathroom and kitchen. We offer a large Deluxe Queen Room of 18 square meters. It includes a TV, air conditioner, fan, kettle, towels, bed linen, large makeup table and with usable space are offered in the homestay. The property has an outdoor dining area and has a garden view. You can travel to both the capital city of Brisbane, a distance of only 31 kilometers or 38 minutes, or the town of Ipswich, Queensland's second oldest town, a distance of only 11 kilometers or 14 minutes, with large shopping centers that are fully equipped with all the conveniences. Indooroopilly and Toowong are only 23-26 kilometers away, 27-30 minutes. If you want panoramic views of Brisbane, with a restaurant on the mountain, you can travel to Mt Cootha just 29 kilometers or 33 minutes. If you like nature and animals, the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary allows you to feed your Kangaroos, Emus and cuddle koalas. It is only 24 kilometers or 26 minutes away.
Mark loves collecting. He enjoys collecting antiques and model cars especially American cars of the 50s, 60s and 70s. Jude was a registered nurse in Thailand and worked as an Activities Officer, Personal Carer and Lifestyle Assistant. Both Mark and Jude are animal lovers. We have a friendly 14-year-old Border Collie named Panda, 5 year-old Mix German Shepherd and a 4-year-old Cat named Suki. What else do we love? We both love travelling. We have travelled to Europe, America, Asia, Pacific islands and most of Australia by plane, car, train and cruise. We stay in hotels, hostels, Airbnb, and many more. This makes us want to create rooms that meet the needs of tourists who stay with us. The important thing is that it is clean, beautiful, has enough usable space and complete amenities
