Great spot
My husband and his friends stayed at this property and had a great time. Fantastic location right in the middle of native bush and lots of fauna milling around. Would recommend this location as a quiet and well appointed house. Would definitely stay again.

Great location
Perfect location for catching up with family and friends in Brisbane and Ipswich. Wonderful deck and gardens. We had some confusion when booking for 2 people in two separate rooms, but with good communication by owners, it was readily sorted out. Quick response to our need for extra blankets when the weather turned unexpectedly cold.

What a hidden gem!
This is an amazing property in a part of Brisbane we'd not explored before. Janet was prompt and delightful to deal with. Kids loved the space - both inside and outside. And we love seeing a part of SEQ we'd not seen before.

Christmas with family
This was a new experience for me, but one I don't want to repeat in a hurry. No problems with the house or location. I found Janet Flanigan to be overbearing and lacking in consideration of her clients. We won't be visiting again.

Beautiful home and very relaxing.
We had a lovely stay at coucals cottage. Only regret is not having enough time to check out the gardens. The house has everything we could possibly need. The beds were comfortable and absolutely loved spending the morning in the sun on the deck. Thanks again

A real homa away from home
Before we went back to Holland, after living in this area for 3.5 years, we found this great place! It is really a home away from home! Everything you need and more you will find in this house The house is very clean and has everything you need if you don't have a "home" ! We especially loved the veranda, your kids can play without you have to worry about them! It a great place to enjoy the peach and quite! We really loved all the different birds we saw and even came up to us! Really if you need somewhere to stay for a short or long time this is the place to be! Also the house offer a lot of privacy ! Thanks Jan and Jim for making our final days in Australia so pleasant!

Awesome Family retreat !!
Excellent family location. Close to a great park for the kids. Had an excellent time. The listing description was slightly misleading there wasn't quite as much yard space easliy accessible for the kids as stated, however this didn't affect our stay in any way. The house was clean and well maintained with the basics of tea, coffee, milk etc provided which makes it easier when you first arrive. We were welcomed by the owners on arrival and once again about half way through our stay to make sure we were ok for linen etc. The theme parks are about 45mins - an hour away from the house which was convenient and only about 20 - 30 mins away from Southbank. All in all our stay was excellent and would recommend to others and we will be keeping this property on our "places to stay" list for our next visit for sure!

About the host

Hosted by Janet Flanigan

Host profile image
Jim and I are retired, but enjoy gardening and meeting people. Our 4 acre property keeps us busy and fit.

Why they chose this property

We bought the 6 acre property in 1980 as we had a young family and felt that we needed more space for the children. This led to keeping horses and chickens which involved us all until the children left home. I then started the garden and we have enjoyed opening the garden to the public and meeting like minded people. We chose the property because it had not been cleared and had native gums and had wonderful views of the surrounding hills

What makes this property unique

The peace and quiet and having the wildlife wander around the property and to hear the bird calls. The property has a wonderful covered deck which looks out above tree tops to the surrounding hills. The property has slopes and gullies as it is part of the D'Aquilar ranges.
