• Daren (10/5): Like a home from home. Thank you - Lovely host who went over and beyond to help and assist and provided suggestions of an itinerary after leaving Brisbane - and what to get up to in Brisbane whilst there. Big Aldi and other stores just a 10 minute walk away / bus stop to centre 5 minute walk away & a nice and safe area. All was good with the stay and property - couldn’t fault it. Only slight snag had to get a taxi from the airport as no public transport after 9pm ish (50 dollars) so not that much hardship really
• Tania (8/5): Lovely quiet location. Short walk to bus terminal. Excellent public transport facilities. - Our Host Nicole was lovely. Very welcoming and helpful.
• Jack (10/5): -

• Stella (10/5): I would definitely stay here again. It suited my needs perfectly. - Very comfortable accommodation in a lovely location close to transport, shops and a river to walk / exercise. Not far down the street is a little cafe, great to sit at after a walk along the river. Nicole was a very accommodating and friendly host.
• Akib (9/5): -

• xiao (10/5): - Very warm and tidy. Got everything I need.
• Tracy (8/5): - Lovely private room with connecting bathroom Didn't know there would be a cat. Perhaps a heads up for those with allergies.
• Klaus (8/5): -
• Marilyn (10/5): I would definitely consider staying again. My stay was pleasant and comfortable. - The property was lovely, clean and comfortable. Nicole was very helpful, informative and courteous. A delight to be around. The unit was within walking distance of public transport and central to all I wanted to see. It suited my needs admirably. There was nothing not to like.
• Lauren (10/5): - Nicole was very lovely and friendly! The room/house is clean and tidy, comfortable, and a great location. Would definitely recommend for someone who wants to stay Northside but have easy access to central city.
• Steve (10/5): Travelling on your own can be lonely. Nicole made me feel welcome and valued sgsin Thank you - Very clean and well presented property. Nicole, the host, is very warm, friendly and welcoming. Only too happy to help with all the little things that travellers don’t have. Always willing to help and make your stay more comfortable. I would stay again in a heartbeat. Nothing.
• Crispin (10/5): Glad to have found a nice place to stay each time I pass through Brisbane. - Nicole was welcoming, helpful, and I found it such a pleasant stay, and the location is close to the airport and close to a shopping centre, ideal for a weekend or even a week.
• Somerville (10/5): Excellent cleanliness, comfort as well as privacy---warm friendly host.. - The room was very clean and comfortable and Nicole, the host gave me a warm welcome--which is important when you are travelling alone. I had privacy with the ability to mix in the communal kitchen and lounge area if I wished. I had a very enjoyable stay. Nothing
• Raka (9/5): Superhost and quiet and tranquile would definately stay again. - The bed was so soft and comfy and the cleanliness of the accomodation, the peace and quiet almost tranquile vibe made me want to extend my stay. No complaints everything was wonderful.
• Navpreet (8/5): Very good -
• Mccann (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent room
• Ashlie (3/5): Poor -
• Arnaldo (10/5): Exceptional -
• Liam (10/5): Exceptional -
• Scott (10/5): Exceptional -
• Billy (8/5): Very good - Clean house and room. Good hot water in bathroom. Location was great as we were visiting family in hospital near by. No commercial TV in room...only netflix. Bit cramped in the bedroom. Being upstairs was a bit of a pain for 70+ year olds. Felt a bit odd using owners kitchen when they live there at the same time. We're just used to staying in motel rooms..

• Rodrigo (10/5): I will surely book with them again. - The place is as advertised, and probably better. I felt like home. They couldn't provide a tax invoice, but a receipt from Booking.
• Soniaheadley (9/5): Would stay here again, thank you 😊 - Very homely and host was lovely
• Justyn (10/5): Exceptional - Host Nicole made sure I was comfy and happy it's a beautiful home the bedroom was perfect and classy furnished Gordon park is close to everything and again everything about my stay was perfect
• Michelle (8/5): Booked for my mother and she was well looked after here and felt comfortable and secure. -
• Laurence (3/5): Poor -
• Nichole (9/5): Superb -
• Rowen (6/5): ok, - Clean room, nice hot water. On occasion I felt I didn't have the privacy I've had at other places. Noisy car park outside my bedroom window, revving motorcycle, jack hammering of cement just prior to 7am one morning, with no notice.
• Kirana (9/5): Superb - It's a nice room that has an AC, ensuite, and all that you need for a nice stay. First time I arrived I noticed it was kept so clean. There is also a cute cat. Nicole seemed very nice even though I unfortunately didn't get to meet her in person. She kept me informed about my check-in and gave clear instructions which made my stay comfortable.
• Linda (8/5): Very good - Comfy bed, bathroom right beside room. Lovely neighbourhood.
• Shahrokh (8/5): Very good - Location
• Sally (10/5): Exceptional -
• Nicole (10/5): Exceptional -
• S (9/5): Comfortable. Nicole was pleasant and friendly. Thank you - The location was excellent for my needs. Convenient parking close to guest house. Overall good venue. Nothing adverse to comment on.
• Erina (9/5): Great accommodation! fantastic location, positive host.I will be back for sure when I visit Brisbane - I liked the vibe in the home, the furnishings, and the little quirky things throughout the home. What stands out to me is the freedom to do as we pleased and the feeling as though we were at our own home. The host, was very friendly, helpful and positive. Sophie the beautiful cat was a bonus. The bed was delightful. We woke up feeling like we had a great night sleep.
• Michael (1/5): Disappointed. - The cat, although the cat was not listed on the booking, and I have a slight allergy I was charged $20 AUD for “losing the key” to the room, even though I did not receive the key to the room at any point during my stay. I left the room in a perfect state at the end of my stay and am incredibly disappointed with the home stay for trying to charge me for damages that did not exist.
• Mariel (9/5): I had a pleasant and comfortable stay at Swan Guest House, and Nicole was very welcoming. - Good location with plenty of parking, great cafes nearby and easy distance to both airport and city.
• Peter (8/5): Would definitely stay again. - Great location for easy access to city. Nicole was very welcoming although we were constantly on the move so didn't interact a great deal. Kitchen was fully equipped but again we only used it for morning coffee. Nothing
• Masaki (10/5): Exceptional - I felt very at ease and could rest well in the room. It was the best place I’ve stayed in so far.
• Sudeera (7/5): Good -
• Freddy (9/5): Superb - Everything was great. Quiet but convenient location, very clean, room and facilities were as expected, lovely host and very comfortable.
• Sung (9/5): Good safe area - Good sized single room with a private bathroom. Nicole was a good host.
• Tony (9/5): Fabulous host, great location as easy to access ahops and the city -
• Rosannah (9/5): Superb - A very comfortable stay with a room and ensuite in a shared unit. Great location to get to the bus into the city and walking distance to cafes etc. Nicole was really friendly and helpful, I appreciated the snacks and flexibility on my arrival time. Thank you. The shower door doesn't close fully so floor gets a bit wet.
• Tom (8/5): Very good -
• Santhush (10/5): Thoroughly enjoyed staying at this property and the host was very friendly and accommodating. - The landlady Nicole was a very gracious and friendly host and staying at her property exceeded my wife and my expectations. She kept her home very clean and was more than willing to provide us with more necessities if needed. The location of this residential property was not as convenient to access shops, as staying at a hotel or motel in a City area. However, there was a bus stop close by within a few minutes walking distance and two shopping centres which were accessible by taxi.
• Ellie (10/5): An immacute room in a great location - The room and bathrooms were spotlessly clean, Nicole is a great host and even provided us with a welcome basket. The bus link into the city centre is amazing, the neighbourhood feels safe and quiet. Would recommend this property to anyone thanks for an amazing stay.
• Jim (9/5): Nichole was a fantastic host -
• Martin (9/5): Great place to stay if you just need a clean, tidy, friendly place that's not too far from CBD etc - Clean, neat and tidy room with its own toilet and shower in clean and tidy 3 star property. Hostess/owner friendly and helpful. In quiet suburban area. Help yourself to tea, coffee and biscuits, Wide screen TV in comfortable shared lounge. Free WiFi. Small desk with chair in room. Fan but no A/C. A little trick to find initially - I arrived after dark and was expecting signage for guest house but there is only street number (59) and then you go down short driveway to unit 5.
• Greg (10/5): Exceptional -
• Peter (8/5): I really enjoyed my stay and would love to stay there again, if in Brisbane. - I'd never stayed in a guest house before, so that's the perspective I'm commenting on. It was very nice to be a guest in someone's home, instead of at a hotel, motel, caravan park or somewhere which is more impersonal. The host is nice and welcoming, but when I was there, mainly stayed in their upstairs living area, coming down to use the kitchen and socialise sometimes, so was welcoming but not overwhelming. It was kind of like being at home, or visiting a friend. The accomodation was very nice, and tastefully decorated. The room I was in had it's own ensuite bathroom. The air conditioner was good. The host tends to use their own TV upstairs, so the downstairs TV is more or less for the guests' use. The host's cat is shy initially, but warmed up to me after a day or two, (I can't guarantee the cat will warm up to you - I like animals and they usually like me). The outside front light which is supposed to come on automatically wasn't always working, so you may need your own illumination to enter the code to get in the front door. The shower in the downstairs ensuite was kind of dribbling, (but still felt good to be under). The host assures me these things have been brought to the attention of the maintenance man, so hopefully will be fixed soon. Public transport in Brisbane, while improving, can be a little tricky, but I guess that can be said of many places. That's not the fault of this accommodation, but I thought people reading this would like to know. The Kedron Brook Bus Station is nearby and has good services into the city. However, the 330 bus is shown on the schedule as stopping there, but didn't when I was coming back from the city at night, and didn't stop after flying past until Chermside, so it's probably best to ask the driver if the bus you're about to catch stops where you want to go.
• Kristy (9/5): Great place to stay - Cute little room in great location. Access to own bedroom with desk and bathroom, access to shared loungeroom and kitchen. Friendly, accommodating host. Nice little touches like welcome basket. Fan and aircon in room. Close to shops and nice walks. N/A
• Nigel (7/5): Good - Nice clean facilities with shared kitchen and leisure facilities. Park, walks along the river and shopping and eating options close-by. The effectiveness of a guest house with shared facilities depends on the mix of guests involved.
• Kierron (8/5): Excellent stay. - Excellent hosts. Good neighbourhood Regular bus service 15 minutes into CBD. Returned late and felt safe. Nothing.
• Robby (8/5): Very good -
• Karl (10/5): Exceptional - Very clean and tidy. Convenient location.
• Robby (10/5): Outstanding - Outstanding, as good as a 4 star hotel, clean, quiet and comfortable, wonderful host and handy to everything. Highly recommended I liked everything
• Hezekiah (10/5): Exceptional -
• Reema (8/5): Awesome quiet safe place to stay with a friendly caring host - • Location: Very close to the CBD (less than ~ 10Kms). • Transportation: the bus station "Kedron Brook" is a few minutes walk from the house. • Host: Amazing friendly, considerate, and caring host (Nicole) who accommodated my requests for late check-out and other service offerings such as tissues, rubbish bins, ..etc. She is willing to assist you and chat in your free time. She states in the same house in her private room, giving you total privacy. • Communication: Very responsive via the booking.com messaging system • Host 2: A beautiful cat (Princess Sofie) nice and friendly • Check-in process: the host provided an easy self-check-in passcode before arrival. • The guest room upstairs: Clean and tidy with a separate private toilet & private bathroom. There is clear instruction printed-out guidance for you on how to use the facilities and Wi-Fi • Hospitality: Nicole provides snacks in the guest room, tea, coffee, sugar, and biscuits in the shared kitchen downstairs. You will have your private bar fridge. • Parking: free parking in front of the house and plenty of on-street parking I would highly recommend this host for guests. Thank you, Nicole, for the comfortable, safe, and friendly stay experience I got. I believe in continuous improvement, thus suggest the following for Nicole to continue the good hosting services she provides so far. • Room: The wardrobe is spacious and has plenty of space to hang clothes. I would recommend adding clothes shelves for folding clothes. This will ease the staying of people who book for longer stay duration. Adding a mirror to the room would also add value. • The bath Adding a slippery mat to the bathtub to avoid any slipperiness. • House rules Adding the house rules to the description of the house on booking.com for the guest upfront such as using the kitchen for a maximum of 20 minutes at a time for guests, using the washing machine only for guests who booked for at least one week, and using the dryer will incur an extra 5 AUD. • General Since there is cat food downstairs overnight, it may make a strong smell in the house, which can be enhanced by installing a house automatic air freshener. Also, I would recommend having pest control for the house regularly as having a permanently open flyscreen door window for the cat to get in and out of the house may cause undesirable insects or small reptiles to get in.
• Harsha (10/5): Nicole was exceptionally good. she is very friendly and we had some great conversations. I had to work from home for som - property was as advertised. spacious enough with a private bathroom. can’t ask for more. there is nothing in there that we wouldn’t like.
