1. Heal House

New Farm, 1.4 km from Waterfront Brisbane

"Heal House is a lovely property owned and operated by Lindsay and Bryce. They are charming hosts. Breakfasts were great, the location is very convenient and they provided many great suggestions of things to do in Brisbane. Our room was very comfortable and we enjoyed two very nice meals at restaurants a short walk from the property. We would not hesitate to recommend this property as a place to stay while enjoying a visit to Brisbane"
