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.

Easy check in and great location
Check in was super easy, location is great, lovely gardens and neighbors. We found the place lacked in cleanliness, areas of black mould, dust, used cotton buds just to name a few.

Dingy, tired stuck in the 80’s. Easy chairs very old & uncomfortable. No milk, 2 only dishwashing tablets, minimal dishwashing liquid no washing machine powder. Not particularly clean.

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 holiday home
We enjoyed staying at this property with our friends. Property has everything you would need away from home. Owner is very welcoming and we enjoyed talking to her. Rooms and common area is very spacious and outer deck is amazing to sit in morning and listening bird songs. Thank you Janet

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
