Old Brisbane houses are special. Like those built elsewhere in the northern half of Australia, they're raised above the ground on stumps. They have wooden walls and a corrugated iron roof, high ceilings, a verandah on the front for shade and a central hall to catch the breeze.
Come to our bed & breakfast and discover what they're like for you.
