Backyard and Nature Reserve

The reserve offers open green space, children’s play areas and a designated dog exercise area. Keep an eye out for native birds and local wildlife, including the occasional koala quietly judging everyone from above.



Firepit

When local conditions allow, gather around the firepit for an evening beneath the stars.



Guests must follow all local fire restrictions and the instructions provided at the property.



Herb and Vegetable Garden

Guests are welcome to pick fresh herbs and any seasonal produce ready during their stay.



Dinner tastes especially satisfying when part of it was collected from the garden five minutes earlier.



Guest Access:

Access is via a keypad at the front door. The code will be provided with check in details.



The Neighborhood:

Alexandra Hills is one of those leafy Redlands suburbs where you can have parks, playgrounds, bushland and actual breathing room, without disappearing into the middle of nowhere.



Nearby train stations connect you directly with Brisbane City, the Ekka and beyond. Better still, most Translink bus, train and ferry trips cost just 50 cents. Yes, 50 cents. You can barely buy a freckle for that anymore.



Cyclists are particularly spoilt. An extensive network of dedicated paths means you can explore much of the Redlands without spending your ride dodging traffic. Ask us for a cycling map and go pedal somewhere lovely.



You’ll also find:

• Children’s playgrounds and leafy parks nearby

• Local gyms offering casual or single-entry visits

• Cleveland Aquatic Centre, with heated indoor and outdoor pools

• Sleeman Sports Complex, home to Olympic-standard and heated swimming pools

• Easy access to shopping, cafés, Brisbane City and the bay



The Redlands is also set to become home to the Olympic-standard Redland Whitewater Centre for the Brisbane 2032 Games. So yes, this peaceful little corner of the world is quietly preparing to make quite a splash.



Getting Around:

A car is the easiest way to get around, with shopping, cafés, parks and the bay all within a short drive.



Both Cleveland and Ormiston train stations are around five minutes away, with direct services to Brisbane City and the Ekka. Most Translink bus, train and ferry trips cost just 50 cents, making public transport a very easy option too.



Cyclists are also well catered for, with an extensive network of dedicated paths throughout the Redlands. Ask us for a cycling map and head off without having to spend your ride negotiating traffic.



Interaction with Guests:

We like to give our guests privacy and space to relax, but we’re always available if you need us. You can easily reach us through the booking app, by phone, or email, and we’ll respond promptly to any questions or requests.
