This is a great guest house, the owner is friendly available and also let's you enjoy a sheltered safe space to enjoy your stay in a suburb of Brisbane. The parking is variable as in front of the house and the street is either empty or very busy but the room we were in at the back was very quiet in regards traffic.

The ferry is walkable and the bus stops outside the house for the city centre this was a great location for us and would stay there again.

Just what we needed.

We really enjoyed our 3 night stay here. Brian was very helpful showing us a map of the best places to eat nearby and leaving us some Travel Go cards to get into the city on the boat.
The room was lovely and the bed was very comfortable.
Some good restaurants nearby and the ferry station was only about a 20/25 minute walk away.
There are plenty of breakfast options in the shared kitchen (this is shared with other guests). Cereals, bread, juice, yoghurt and fruits were available each morning.

This is a very nicely presented property. For a one night stay it maybe fine for some but for longer stays, like ours, we found the property lacking. Big issue was there are no windows, just doors and without screens, flies or mosquitoes can come in. The bathroom has a very small window and no screen which doesn’t provide any ventilation to the master room. A ceiling fan would help. Since the room we had faces the street, one can’t leave the doors open for security reasons if nothing else and we tried it but the mosquitos were having a feast and to sleep you have to close them anyway. Can’t hear the TV with the doors open. The street noise is an issue as this is on a main drag. The cooler temperatures this time of year one needs to hang towels out to dry. No facility to do that. The line outside always had sheets or something on the line so we couldn’t air/dry our towel out there. The very small towel rack in the bathroom couldn’t fit one of the towels, let alone two. A drying rack for the guests would be good. The self serve/clean up continental breakfast was okay, but “the everyone can dip into the jams with butter on their knives” is not for me. Individual packaging would be more appropriate in these times. Our hosts were very nice and I’m sure they would have tried to make us more comfortable but these things require more time than we had there if they were considering making any improvements.

Outstanding place in Brisbane

We loved 10 night stay at Balmoral Queenslander. From the warm welcome we received from Brian on our later-than-expected arrival to our last day, we enjoyed every moment. Our unit at the back of the property overlooked a beautiful garden, and we enjoyed our continental breakfast (provided) there each day. The property is a short walk to nearby shops, cafes and parks. We look forward to a return visit.

Lovely stay at Balmoral Queenslander. I had two nights here when attending a course nearby. Brian was an excellent host; very generous and attentive in his communications. Room was spacious, comfortable and very clean. Access to kitchen also appreciated (I didn't make use of it on this visit but makes a nice change from a pokey hotel). Will stay again next time I'm in the area.

A real gem of a stay

I had an amazing stay at Balmoral Queenslander. The Queensland home is just amazing and my room was very well appointed with a huge modern bathroom and very comfortable bed. There is also full use of the adjacent and modern kitchen that is stocked with breakfast cereals, snacks, bread and preserves etc., and of course kitchen appliances. The back room where I stayed opened out onto to a beautiful patio that faced the well manicured garden where I could lay back on the modern outdoor furniture and enjoy a quiet beer and admire the garden. The place is just a short stroll to the village of Bulimba where there are many good restaurants. My only regret is that I was on business and not vacation where I could have better enjoyed my stay. I would highly recommend staying at Balmoral Queenslander for anyone visiting the Balmoral / Bulimba area in Brisbane.
