As other reviews testify, this is a great traditional Queensland house located within walking distance of all attractions in Brisbane. The rooms are spacious and extremely well presented. The breakfasts are fantastic, much more than a simple continental breakfast affair. The highlight of the stay was the high quality service from Marshall who gave advice on places to eat, walking...

This is a lovely old wooden Queensland house converted into a boutique style guest house. Rates are very reasonable and its nearness to the CBD makes it an ideal base for enjoying the many attractions in the Brisbane area. Our room was spacious, clean and comfortable with a large double bed and a bathroom with a small bath. The staff... More

We stayed in one of the double rooms downstairs as attic suit was booked out but it was a very nice room. Everything is kept so well and clean would definitely stay there again. Like in other reviews I agree it is an old traditional house with timber flooring so sound like footsteps and loud phone call conversations carry easily.... More

We stayed here recently and went to the gallerys and Riverfire fireworks. Nice and tidy place, comfortable rooms and facilities. Great rate for the weekend. Amazing to have a place so close to the CBD that felt like a home. We would stay here again. More

We found this place after it being recommended in The Lonely Planet book. What a cute little gem it is! We were fortunate to stay in the attic room and it was brilliant. The hosts run it very well and went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. Breakfast was very fresh, plentiful with lots and variety... More

My 5th stay at One Thornbury. We love the place. This cute Queensland style cottage has been renovated in a non-fussy, contemporary boutique style. A fantastic private courtyard area for guests, a perfect place to have a glass of wine before heading out to see the restaurants and night life Fortitude Valley has to offer (only a 5 minute walk)....

In a quiet area but within easy walking distance of the lively eateries of Chinatown, this traditional wooden house has an unassuming appearance, but as soon as you enter a surprise is in store. Polished wooden floors, characterful decor and a warm welcome awaits you. We were particularly appreciative the helpfulness of the management on our departure day. Because we... More

We stayed two days at One Thornbury and the experience was most pleasurable. Our host, Kaye, was very welcoming and offered great advice on places to visit and for dining. Our room was spacious and very clean; it was the attic room that had a separate sitting area. Our Breakfast experience in the courtyard was very good and the choice... More

Had a very nice stay in this cosy B&B not far from the city but super-quiet and well run. Breakfast was amazing with a dedicated table setup for me with heaps of food/fresh fruits/drinks. Way more than what I would ever need, check the pictures. Lovely garden to relax hidden from the street with a lot of vegetations, I recommend... More

We stayed two nights at One Thornbury. First thing you notice is a "for sale" sign in front. Take whatever meaning from that you will. Weekday daytime reception staff was somewhat surly. Weekend staff, Marshall, was great - most helpful. Rooms were spacious and well appointed. Clean, but we did find bugs in the bathroom. These seemed to be eliminated... More
