We would heartily agree with the positive reviews about Fern Cottage...we spent 4 nights here in November 2011.. lovely hosts, lovely neighbourhood .. especially enjoyed having breakfast out on the balcony off the room. More

I found this B&B because it was mentioned in the Lonely Planet Australia guide and I generally find these recommendations to be quite helpful. I was not disappointed. We spent 3 days in Brisbane during December 2011 and we were quite happy with this B&B. The hosts, Geoff and Mary, are lovely. The location is nice - lots of little... More
